DESCRIPTION
The MD69BR is a Dual Scale Dial Type Bearing Compass Repeater. It is designed to
display Ships Heading as part of a Gyro-Compass or Transmitting Magnetic Compass
system. It receives data via a NMEA 0183 type digital transmission.
The Primary function of the MD69BR is to display Ships Heading from a Gyro Compass
(or other source of Heading) and provide a facility for taking Celestial or Terrestrial
Bearings from the ship. It has a 185mm diameter outer dial marked in 1 degree
increments with numeric values every 10 degrees plus cardinal and inter-cardinal
markers. The outer dial rotates one revolution for 360 degrees. It also has a 95mm
diameter inner dial marked in 0.1 degree increments with numeric values every 1
degree. The inner dial rotates one revolution for 10 degrees, i.e. 36 times for every
single revolution of the outer dial. A lubber-line is provided to allow the heading
indicated by the dial to be read accurately.
The dials are illuminated for easy reading and dimmable to allow the repeater to be
viewed in any lighting condition from full sunlight to total darkness. The illumination level
is adjustable down to zero so that night vision is not affected. Dimming can be
controlled either by the rotary control mounted on the repeater bowl or by a remote
dimmer.
The MD69BR has two indicator LEDs mounted in the outer verge-ring on either side of
the lubber-line position to show the heading type in use (True or Magnetic).
The MD69BR Bearing Compass Repeater is supplied with a Gimbal assembly and
Trunnion Bracket. The Repeater is counterbalanced to allow it to remain in a horizontal
position whilst being read. Flush panel mounting (without a Gimbal assembly) is also
available as an option.
The MD69BR Bearing Compass Repeater may be mounted either on a Bulkhead
Bracket or in a deck-mounted Pelorus Stand. MARINE DATA offers these options as a
complete assembly.
Constructed in a robust, waterproof, aluminium enclosure and finished in RAL7040
Window Grey paint, the MD69BR is designed to complement existing marine navigation
equipment.

10 COMMISSIONING THE SYSTEM
Ensure that the installation complies with section 9 Installation.
Apply system power (24V DC) to the MD69BR.
The MD69BR will initially align to zero degrees; it will then adopt the heading which is
being transmitted from the heading source.
Verify that the MD69BR follows the heading source when altering the vessels heading.
If an error condition arises, refer to section 12 - Maintenance and Fault-Finding.
Ensure that the background display lighting is set to a suitable level using the integral
rotary dimmer control or a remote dimmer if connected.
Be sure to fill out the product registration form and return it to MARINE DATA. This
activates the warranty.
10.1
Product Registration
It would also be helpful to list other manufacturers equipment to which the product is
connected (e.g. Gyro, Radar, other Repeaters etc).
Alternatively, fill out the product registration form and return it to MARINE DATA.
NOTE: It is the process of registration which activates the warranty.

11.2
Normal Operation
In normal operation, the TRUE HEADING indicator (blue) and the MAGNETIC
HEADING indicator (yellow) are used to show the type of heading displayed.
If True Heading is being displayed then the TRUE HEADING indicator will be
illuminated. If Magnetic Heading is being displayed then the MAGNETIC HEADING
indicator will be illuminated.
The illumination level of the dials and indicators are adjusted using the rotary dimmer
control mounted in the repeater bowl or by an external remote dimmer connection.
Note: At the minimum illumination level, the dial illumination is fully extinguished.
However, active indicators remain lit at a very low level to allow location of panel
controls in total darkness.
11.3
If the type of heading being displayed changes from TRUE to MAGNETIC or from
MAGNETIC to TRUE then the respective TRUE HEADING or MAGNETIC HEADING
indicator will illuminate to indicate the type of heading being displayed. If both heading
types are available the dial will default to TRUE.
11.4
The MD69BR repeater should be refreshed with data at least three times a second. If
after 1 second the signal becomes lost or invalid then the MD69BR will indicate an error
condition to the user by rotating the dial 35 about the last known valid heading and
flashing the dial illumination. This immediately alerts the user that something is wrong
and needs to be rectified.
11.5
If a previously lost heading type becomes available again then the MD69BR will
automatically detect and select it without a reset procedure being necessary.
11.6
Reset Procedure
If a previously lost heading type remains unavailable then the error condition will persist.
The MD69BR must be reset (power off and on again) to restart the automatic selection
of any other valid NMEA heading types which may be present in the NMEA data source.
19
MD69BR
11.7
If valid data is not received and a NO DATA error is active, then the MD69BR will scan
all available Baud rates to look for valid data at an alternative rate. If valid data
corresponding to the list of acceptable data sentences is found, then the Baud rate of
that data will be stored and used for future data reception. With this feature there is no
requirement to pre-select a Baud rate for data transmission.
11.8
The MARINE DATA MD69AZI Azimuth Sight (Thomson Pattern) meets the International
Standard ISO 25862:2009 for the testing and certification of Group II Azimuth reading
devices.
CAUTION: Always use Sun filters when taking azimuth bearings of the Sun; never
attempt to take bearings of the Sun with unprotected eyes.
Taking Bearings:
For taking bearings of landmarks or objects with low luminosity (the arrow on the prism
adjustment thumbwheels = DOWN). A distant object is sighted directly by eye with the
compass card being simultaneously viewed indirectly through the prism. Maximum
altitude 34 above the horizon.
For taking bearings of the Sun or other celestial objects (the arrows on the prism
adjustment thumbwheels = UP). The compass card is viewed directly through the
collimating lens, with a distant object being simultaneously viewed indirectly through the
reflecting prism. Maximum altitude 60 above the horizon.

12 MAINTENANCE AND FAULT-FINDING
12.1
Maintenance
12.2
Fault-Finding
MD69BR does not operate
It is probable that there is a loss of power. Check the DC power supply and data
connection to the unit.
MD69BR aligns to zero degrees but does not follow the source heading
The NMEA 0183 digital signal to the repeater is either not present, or the data sentence
being sent is not of the correct structure. Check the heading source data for the
presence of a valid heading data sentence; refer to section 11.4 - Loss of Data Alarm
for details of indication in the case of no data.
If remotely controlled, an incorrect control signal may be being received, check wiring
and signals. The internal LED illumination devices may be damaged or there may be
damage to the PCB or rotary dimmer switch. Return the unit to MARINE DATA for
servicing. It should be noted that the display illumination may not be noticeable under
bright ambient light conditions. Illumination is controlled independently by the integral
rotary dimmer control and the Remote Dimmer input, if fitted, whichever input is
adjusted will take precedence.
