HS80A FOG

Gyrocompass · Position & Heading

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

Simrad HS80A FOG is listed in this library as a marine gyrocompass in the Position & Heading / Gyrocompass category. Equipment of this class is typically installed in the shipboard area serving the position & heading function, with the exact location determined by the vessel arrangement. Its shipboard purpose is to perform the operational duty associated with the vessel's gyrocompass installation. The exact piping, electrical, control, foundation, and accessory arrangement depends on the vessel and the installed configuration. Where adjacent models in the same product family differ in rating, size, materials, control options, certification, or accessories, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact model-specific differences.

Service

Service notes.

What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.

Inspect the unit for leakage, corrosion, contamination, loose connections, abnormal noise or vibration, condition of guards and mountings, service supplies, controls, alarms, and functional performance. Use the vessel maintenance history to identify deterioration trends and refer to the manufacturer documentation for exact settings, tolerances, test values, and overhaul criteria.

Inspection

Common failures & inspection points

Loss of electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or other service supply caused by a tripped protection device, leakage, blockage, or upstream fault results in failed starting or loss of function
Mechanical wear, corrosion, fouling, or contamination of moving and wetted parts causes increased noise, leakage, sticking, vibration, or reduced performance
Seal, gasket, hose, cable, or connection deterioration from age, heat, vibration, or environmental exposure produces visible leakage, intermittent signals, or loss of pressure
Sensor, switch, actuator, relay, or control-system faults can cause incorrect indication, nuisance alarms, failed automatic sequences, or loss of remote control
Incorrect adjustment, assembly, or maintenance can lead to unstable operation, recurrent alarms, or performance that differs from the vessel's normal baseline

Spares

Replacement Parts

Spare parts notes

Keep the manufacturer-recommended seals and gaskets, filters where fitted, fuses or protection items, common sensors and switches, and critical actuator, control, or wear components appropriate to the installed configuration. Exact part numbers and quantities must come from the manufacturer spare-parts documentation.
