CMZ900 Gyrocompass – Precision Navigation for Safe Marine Operations
The CMZ900 Gyrocompass by TOKYO KEIKI Inc. (formerly Tokyo Keiki) is a state-of-the-art navigational instrument designed to provide true north heading information for maritime vessels without relying on magnetic variation or GPS signals. Trusted by commercial, military, and offshore vessels worldwide, it is known for its accuracy, reliability, and compliance with IMO standards.
The CMZ900 uses a high-precision gyroscope to determine the ship’s heading, maintaining performance even under harsh sea conditions. It is fully IMO-compliant, meeting the requirements for SOLAS-regulated vessels. The system supports integration with ECDIS, radar, autopilot, AIS, and other bridge systems, making it a core component of modern Integrated Bridge Systems (IBS).
Equipped with multiple heading data outputs, digital and analog interfaces, and fast settling time, the CMZ900 ensures seamless navigation during voyages. It features a color LCD display, intuitive user interface, and diagnostic functions for easy operation and maintenance.
Ideal for both new ship builds and retrofits, the CMZ900 is compact, durable, and easy to install, ensuring maximum uptime and operational efficiency.

? Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is a gyrocompass?
A: It’s a navigation device that finds true north using Earth’s rotation.
Q: What is the heading accuracy of the CMZ900?
A: Typically ±0.1° in calm conditions.
Q: Is the CMZ900 IMO-compliant?
A: Yes, it meets all IMO and SOLAS requirements.
Q: Does it need GPS to operate?
A: No, it operates independently of GPS.
Q: Can it be integrated with ECDIS and radar?
A: Yes, it supports multiple system interfaces.
Q: How long does it take to settle after power-up?
A: It typically settles within 3-5 minutes.
Q: Is it suitable for retrofit projects?
A: Yes, it’s compact and adaptable to existing systems.
Q: What type of display does it use?
A: A color LCD with intuitive interface.
Q: Is regular calibration needed?
A: Minimal calibration is required after installation.
Q: What makes it better than a magnetic compass?
A: It gives true north heading unaffected by magnetic deviation.
