KW 991 Gyro Heading Repeater And Off Course Alarm
The KW991 Compass heading Repeater has a high contrast flourescent display capable of indicating ships heading in both digital and tape repeater formats.
A tactile keypad enables the helmsman to choose a series of displays to suit the moment. Screens display a tape width of 30 or 25 degrees, digital with rate of turn, or 41 mm high big digital figures.
The KW991 also functions as an off course alarm or compass comparator alarm. A course and data recorder version prints onto plain paper.
