Anschutz Kiel 133-302 Tochterkompass (Repeater Compass)
Overview
The Anschutz Kiel 133-302, also known as the Tochterkompass Repeater, is a precision marine gyrocompass repeater designed to replicate heading information from the main gyrocompass system. It interfaces via analog synchro signals (R1, R2, S1, S2, S3) to provide accurate heading data in secondary navigation stations.
Key Features
-
Analog Synchro Input
Operates on standard analog synchro gyro signals—R1, R2, S1, S2, and S3—for seamless integration with Anschutz gyro systems. -
Compact Heading Display
