The versatility and flexibility of the Meridian can be clearly demonstrated with the remote control unit option which gives freedom to install the main unit in the most convenient location whilst installing the remote control unit where it can be seen and regularly used.
Unlike other marine navigation gyrocompasses available, the Meridian has a maintenance free dry element with a meantime between failure of more than 30,000 hours: and post installation there are no scheduled annual maintenance and servicing costs.
