Octans

Gyrocompass · Position & Heading

Class-certified type (DNV register) · technical data sheet not yet verified​‌⁠⁠​​​‍​‍‍‍⁠​​​⁠‌‍​

IXBlue / Exail Octans is a gyrocompass system (Position & Heading / Gyrocompass). It is normally installed in the bridge electronics or gyro room with repeaters distributed around the vessel. It is intended to provide a stabilized true-heading reference to the bridge and connected navigation systems. The meaning of any embedded size or rating code should be confirmed in manufacturer documentation. In service it interfaces with navigation sensors, bridge displays, ship power supply, data networks and alarms relevant to the equipment function.

Inspect external antennas, scanners or transducers as applicable and review fault logs and self-test results. Verify required backups, records and bridge procedures; exact calibration tolerances and test methods must follow manufacturer and statutory documentation.

Free of charge — send us your request for iXBlue / Exail equipment. Our team checks it and replies by e-mail.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
