For Standard 22 retrofit solutions Raytheon Anschütz offers a series of universal course converters: serial/360° synchro converter, serial/universal synchro converter and serial/universal step converter (for more information, please visit “Configurations” or download the brochure). These converters enable to retain existing equipment and can be used to replace virtually all available gyro compasses in the market. Outstanding benefits of Standard 22 hold true for this retrofit solution.

• Cost-efficient replacement of any old gyro compass
• Existing equipment and cabling can be used
• Reduced installation time and effort
• Very cost efficient retrofit solution for ship owner
• Perfect solution for service organisations – nearly all available compasses in the market can be retrofit with only two different converters
• Low lifecycle costs due to maximum performance, reliability and long maintenance intervals

Configuration

The following course converters are offered for individual retrofit solutions:

• Serial/360° Synchro Converter
  The serial/360° synchro converter converts serial heading information (NMEA or course bus) into a coarse synchro output (360°, compatible to 11 CX synchro) and can be used to connect NautoCourse® or old autopilots to new compasses.
• Serial/Universal Synchro Converter
  The serial/universal synchro converter converts serial heading information (NMEA or course bus) into various synchro signals. It is used when an old gyro compass with synchro output is replaced with a new Standard 22 to keep the existing equipment with synchro input.
• Serial/Universal Step Converter
  The serial/universal step converter converts serial heading information (NMEA or course bus) into step (6step / degree) signals. It is used when an old gyro compass with step output is replaced with a new Standard 22 to keep the existing equipment with step input. It can be alternatively used as a step booster.
