Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Design and Main Features
The Heading Management System NAVITWIN IV performs a number of control and monitoring functions within a multicompass system: It displays the actual heading from the available heading sources and lets the operator select the active source for distribution to other equipment, e.g. heading control systems, RADAR, compass repeaters etc. NAVITWIN IV can display up to three true heading and one magnetic compass heading source. It monitors the difference between any two of the available heading sources. Should the difference exceed a user-defined threshold, a "Heading Difference Alarm" is given. It monitors the difference between the active sources heading and the commanded set heading in automatic steering modes. Should the difference exceed a user-defined threshold, an "Off Heading Alarm" is given. The set heading may be received automatically from a heading control system or entered manually. It reads the analogue signals from a Sperry Marine fluxgate sensor, type 4863, and converts these into magnetic heading data in NMEA format, including automatic correction for magnetic variation and sensor calibration values. It serves as the central operating and control unit for dual and triple gyrocompass systems with the NAVIGAT X MK 1, MK 2 and NAVIGAT 2100 compasses. System-wide operational settings and setup parameters are entered at the NAVITWIN IV and transmitted to the connected compasses.

1.2 Example System Configurations

The following simplified configuration examples illustrate some typical applications of the NAVITWIN IV.
Standard NAVIGAT Dual Gyrocompass/TMC System

The system shown in Figure 1-1 below is the standard configuration for a dual gyrocompass system with Sperry Marine gyrocompasses type NAVIGAT X MK 1 or NAVIGAT 2100. By selecting the active heading source at the NAVITWIN IV , the operator determines which compasses data is distributed via the Switch-Over Unit to external equipment, such as heading control systems, RADAR, compass repeaters etc. The heading diff. alarm function permits to monitor the difference between any two of the available heading sources. The off heading alarm function permits to monitor the difference between the actual heading from the active source and the set heading order received from a heading control system. Alarms generated locally by a NAVIGAT gyrocompass are indicated and may be acknowledged at the NAVITWIN IV. In turn, the NAVITWIN IV transmits system-wide operational settings and setup parameters to the NAVIGAT gyrocompasses. In a NAVIGAT dual gyrocompass system, the available heading sources and the hdg. diff threshold are also indicated at both gyrocompasses. If a magnetic heading source is installed, NAVITWIN IV applies magnetic variation and distributes the data to external equipment (TMC function). In case of failure of the gyrocompasses, the magnetic heading source may be activated to provide an emergency heading reference for repeaters and other peripheral equipment.

Triple Gyrocompass/TMC System

In a triple gyrocompass system, the NAVITWIN IV displays the heading data from three true heading sources and the magnetic heading from a fluxgate sensor, type 4863 (if installed). By selecting the active heading source at the NAVITWIN IV, the operator determines which compasses data is distributed to external equipment, such as heading control systems, RADAR, compass repeaters etc. In a triple gyrocompass system, the NAVITWIN IV controls two cascaded Switch-Over Units to distribute the data as required. The heading diff. alarm function permits to monitor the difference between any two of the available heading sources. The off heading alarm function permits to monitor the difference between the actual heading from the active source and the set heading order received from a heading control system. Alarms generated locally by a NAVIGAT compass within a triple gyrocompass system are indicated and may be acknowledged at the NAVITWIN IV. In turn, the NAVITWIN IV transmits system-wide operational settings and setup parameters to NAVIGAT gyrocompasses. In contrast to the standard dual NAVIGAT system, the gyrocompasses in a triple system are configured as stand-alone devices. Only the own heading is displayed locally at the respective gyrocompass. If a fluxgate sensor, type 4863, is installed, NAVITWIN IV applies magnetic variation and distributes magnetic heading data to external equipment (TMC function). In case of failure of the gyrocompasses, the magnetic heading source may be activated to provide an emergency heading reference for repeaters and other peripheral equipment.

Independent Off Heading / Heading Diff. Alarm Device

Another typical application for the NAVITWIN IV is to retrofit an existing gyrocompass system with an independent off heading and/or a heading difference alarm device. In these cases, the NAVITWIN IV is used as a monitoring device only. The device is not used to select the active heading source or to distribute data to external equipment. Figure 1-3 below shows a simple system where the NAVITWIN IV is used to monitor the difference between a gyro and a magnetic compass and also to monitor the difference between the actual heading from the reference selected and the set heading order as received from a heading control system or entered manually.

External Alarms (from NAVIGAT compasses)

External alarms are the alarms transmitted by a NAVIGAT X MK 1, MK 2, or NAVIGAT 2100 gyrocompass. These alarms are displayed and may be acknowledged at the NAVITWIN IV. Once acknowledged, however, external alarms are cleared at the NAVITWIN IV. To determine whether an acknowledged external alarm is still active, the error list at the respective compass must be checked.
CAUTION
When acknowledging an external alarm from a NAVIGAT 2100, make sure that the compass fully recovers from the error. Upon alarm acknowledge, the NAVIGAT 2100 executes the command which corresponds to confirming the alarm message, i.e. pressing the F1 key, at the compass. In certain cases, it may be necessary to take further action to return the NAVIGAT 2100 to normal operation, e.g. it might be required to change the speed or position data source or to execute a new align (restart) of the system. message text GYRO 1 FAIL GYRO 2 FAIL GYRO 3 FAIL cause Compass failure or compass receives no data from external gyrocompass source. corrective action If alarm given without an an internal gyro failure occurring simultaneously, check the interfaces/connections between the NAVIGAT gyrocompasses.

Chapter 5: Installation
5.1 Mechanical Installation
Console Mounting
To mount the NAVITWIN IV directly in a console panel (without console frame) a panel cutout is required as shown in dimensional drawing 4994-0112-02 (see Appendix B). Suitable fasteners for console mounting are provided in the installation kit 22596. A backward clearance of approx. 100 mm from the mounting surface is required to protect the connector cable from being bent too strongly at the plug.
Console Frame Version

When ordered factory-assembled in a console frame, the NAVITWIN IV is already fastened to the frame. The required cutout for a standard 3x1 frame is shown in dimensional drawing 0031-0112-02 (see Appendix B). If a custom frame is delivered, installation-specific dimensional drawings for the frame and cutout will be provided with the equipment. A backward clearance of approx. 100 mm from the frame top surface is required to protect the connector cable from being bent too strongly at the plug.
Housing with Bracket

The NAVITWIN IV housing with bracket is shown in dimensional drawing 4994-0112-02 (see Appendix B). The mounting bracket carries four holes of 5.3 mm dia. for fixing the bracket to any plane surface, such as a console panel, wall or ceiling. The required fasteners are to be provided by the shipyard or installer.
Connector Cable
The NAVITWIN IV connector cable terminates into a 50-wire pigtail for connection to a terminal block (see Appendix B). If the optional connection box is not used, the required terminal block is to be provided by the shipyard or installer. The installer must make sure that the end of the cable sheath is firmly secured to the vessel structure with tie-wraps or other suitable means, so that the individual wires are free from tension at the terminals. Unused wires, if not connected to terminals, must be isolated and fastened to the end of the cable sheath.

Wiring Up the System
CAUTION
When wiring up the system, make sure that the power supply for the NAVITWIN IV is switched off and is safeguarded against accidental switching-on.
Wire up the system according to the connection diagrams and other relevant documents provided. If installation-specific connection diagrams have been provided for a given system, these supersede any connection information contained in standard connection diagrams. If wiring up according to standard connection diagrams, make sure beforehand that all data and signals to receive from or transmit to external equipment are compatible with the NAVITWIN IV I/O specifications, according to interface specification 004994-0120-001.
5.3 Initial System Configuration

When the system has been wired up, all configuration parameters are to be set to the required values in the Service Setup in order to make the NAVITWIN IV fully functional. For a description of the Service Setup, refer to Chapter 6. The operating parameters in the User Setup and Manual Settings menues should also be set as required for normal operation within the given system. If a magnetic heading source is connected to the NAVITWIN IV, the magnetic compass calibration procedure should be carried out during a sea trial, as described in the following section.

Electrical Installation
NAVITWIN IV

5.4 Magnetic Heading Calibration

Ideally, the magnetic heading displayed at the NAVITWIN IV would exactly match the indication of the steering magnetic compass (at a mag. variation of 0.0). In practice, however, deviations will occur between the steering magnetic compass heading and the heading data transmitted by a fluxgate sensor or an electronic compass, as displayed at the NAVITWIN IV. The NAVITWIN IV automatically corrects such deviations if a calibration table has been stored and calibration is activated in the User Setup.
Note
The magnetic heading calibration serves to match, as closely as possible, the indication at the steering magnetic compass and the magnetic heading displayed at the NAVITWIN IV, at a mag. variation of 0.0. It is strongly disapproved to use a true heading source, e.g. a gyrocompass, as the calibration reference. Also, it should not be attempted to correct residual deviations of a properly adjusted magnetic compass by means of the calibration table.
CAUTION
The magnetic heading calibration corrects deviations due to the combined effects of the magnetic environment, the particular sensor being used and the receiving circuitry inside the NAVITWIN IV. Therefore, a new calibration must be carried out when: - the steering magnetic compass is exchanged or newly adjusted, - the magnetic heading sensor is exchanged and, - if a fluxgate sensor is used, when the NAVITWIN IV itself is exchanged.
Calibration Procedure
The magnetic heading calibration is a two-part procedure. First, the existing deviations between the indication of the steering magnetic compass and the magnetic heading displayed at the NAVITWIN IV are determined. This requires that the vessel is swung very slowly through a full circle so that for each full 10 of magnetic compass heading (0, 10, ..., 350) the corresponding display value is obtained. After calculating the resultant correction values, these are entered in the magnetic heading calibration table at the NAVITWIN IV. The calibration table stores up to 36 entries (cal. no.s), each of which assigns a correction value to a given magnetic heading (0, 10, ..., 350).
CAUTION
The magnetic compass used as the calibration reference must be properly installed and adjusted. The procedure should be carried out in calm seas only. Make sure that ample sea area is available for the vessel to execute a very slow 360-turn.

Determining magnetic heading correction values 1. Make sure that the magnetic variation is set to 0.0 in the Manual Settings menu. 2. Make sure that the calibration is disabled (option use cal tab unchecked) in the User Setup / Magn. Cal. Tab. 3. Select a manual steering mode. 4. Commence a continuous, very slow and steady turn. The vessel must turn through one full circle (360) at least. 5. While the vessel is turning, compare the indication at the steering magnetic compass with the magnetic heading values shown on the NAVITWIN IV display. At every full 10 of steering magnetic compass heading (0, 10, ... , 350), note the display value.

6. Enter the observed display values in the magnetic heading calibration table (blank form included in [] of this manual). 7. Calculate the required correction value for each heading value. The correction value is the offset which must be applied to a given display value in order to obtain the steering magnetic compass heading. Example: steering magnetic compass heading = 0, display value = 0,8, correction value = 0,8.

Deleting entries from the magnetic heading calibration table When a complete new calibration is carried out, it is recommended to delete old entries from the calibration table first. Also, if the determined correction values are comparatively small, it is generally sufficient to enter only a few values for the headings where the largest deviations occur. By deleting the correction value from a table entry, the entry is made inactive and the correction applied at the respective heading is instead calculated by interpolating between the two adjacent active entries. To delete entries from the magnetic heading calibration table: 1. Call up the User Setup and go to Magn Cal Tab | Enter Values.

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting
7.1 General Troubleshooting Instructions
The NAVITWIN IV is a complex electronic device. In case of malfunction, it would neither be practical nor economical to carry out troubleshooting and servicing in the field down to the level of individual circuit components. Unless instructed otherwise by Sperry Marine engineering, field service personnel should limit troubleshooting to: Visual inspection of mechanical components, the PCB and wiring. Continuity checks of wiring connections. Checks for short circuit or overload conditions or reversed polarity of the external supply power. Checks of the on-board supply voltages and I/O signals and data. The presence of voltages, signals and data is indicated by diagnostic LEDs on the PCB. Exact voltage levels must be checked with a voltmeter. The data content on serial I/O lines must be checked with the aid of suitable analyzing tools, such as PC-based protocol interpreters or terminal programs.
When components on the PCB, other than socketed ICs or the exchangeable system software flashboard, are assumed to cause malfunction, the complete NAVITWIN IV operating unit is to be exchanged.

Chapter 8: Corrective Maintenance

The NAVITWIN IV is generally not field-serviceable on the component level. Defective devices must be sent back to Sperry Marine for repair. The only corrective maintenance procedures which may be performed by field service personnel are the exchange of the system software and the replacement of the serial RS-422 output driver IC.
WARNING
CAUTION
8.1 Exchanging the System Software

Downloading Software from the Flashboard
The NAVITWIN IV keeps two separate copies of the system software, one in an onboard flash memory and the other on the exchangeable software flashboard 20684. The system always boots up from the onboard memory. Should, at power-up, a different software version be found on the flashboard than is currently stored onboard, the software from the flashboard is automatically copied to the onboard memory and the system is restarted. This allows both to upgrade to newer and to downgrade to previous releases by simply exchanging the flashboard.
CAUTION
It cannot be guaranteed that parameters settings in the User and Setup menus and the entries made in the Magnetic Compass Calibration table are left intact during the software download. Before exchanging the flashboard, record all parameter settings to be able to re-enter them manually, if required.
Exchanging the System Software
8-1
056344/A
NAVITWIN IV
Exchanging the Flashboard 1. Disconnect the 50-pin plug connector from the back of the NAVITWIN IV. 2. In case of a console or frame-mounted device, unmount the NAVITWIN IV from the console and remove the back cover. In case of a device in housing with bracket, unscrew the back cover and remove the NAVITWIN IV insert from the housing. 3. Place the NAVITWIN IV insert face-down on a flat, clean surface. 4. Carefully remove the plastic pin which secures the flashboard to the main PCB. 5. Pull the old flashboard out of its socket, making sure to touch it at the edges only.
6. Insert the new flashboard into the socket. 7. Secure the flashboard with the plastic pin.
8. In case of a console or frame-mounted device, reattach the back cover and mount the NAVITWIN IV in the console. In case of a device in housing with bracket, insert the NAVITWIN IV in the housing and screw on the back cover. 9. Connect and secure the 50-pin plug connector to the back of the housing. 10. Power-up the NAVITWIN IV. 11. The NAVITWIN IV shows a blank display at maximum brightness for several minutes. This indicates that the software is being downloaded from the flashboard to the onboard memory.
CAUTION
Do not disconnect power or otherwise interrupt the power-up process after an exchange of the flashboard.

Exchanging the System Software
NAVITWIN IV
056344/A
12. When the software download is complete, the NAVITWIN IV automatically restarts. 13. If a EEPROM DATA INVALID message is shown, the new software requires the setup memory to be restored to factory settings. Press the ACK key to continue the power-up sequence. 14. Check the parameter settings in the User and Service Setup menus and the entries in the magnetic heading calibration table. Re-enter any settings which may not have been preserved.
Note
If the EEPROM DATA INVALID message was shown during the powerup, the parameters settings in all menues and the entries in the magnetic heading calibration table will have been restored to factory settings. All parameters in the User and Service setups, the Manual settings and the magnetic heading calibration table will have to be re-entered as required for the given system.
Uploading Software via the Service Interface

The system software may also be uploaded from a PC or laptop via the RS-232 service interface on the NAVITWIN IV PCB. At the time of writing of this manual, however, an upload program for field service use is not yet available. Sperry Marine will issue an official Service Bulletin as soon as such a program becomes available.
8.2 Replacing the RS-422 Output Driver IC

The RS-422 output driver, IC 4, is a socketed 16-pin DIL chip. If failure or malfunction of the RS-422 outputs is attributed to a defective driver IC, the chip can easily be replaced against a new one. The driver IC is a standard quadruple RS-422 line driver (MC3487), available from Sperry Marine Hamburg as part no. 46485.
