BW2

The RIVIERA BW2 is a magnetic compass. It is normally installed at the bridge or wheelhouse top away from avoidable magnetic interference. It is designed for independent ship heading indication without reliance on electrical power. The operating principle relies on alignment of the compass system with the Earth's magnetic field. The supplied entry gives no additional verified capacity, pressure, power or dimensional figure for this model. Compared with neighbouring models, the relevant differences are bowl/card/mounting/repeater arrangement and vessel-specific compensation; these must be confirmed from the installed documentation rather than inferred from the model designation alone. Service and survey attention should concentrate on fluid/card condition, mounting, deviation records, compensators and independent heading comparison. For exact ratings, dimensions, tolerances, test limits and model-specific settings, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
