The Meridian gyro is fully approved to IMO standards, which make it suitable for use aboard ships of any size. It is, however, proving particularly attractive to operators of smaller vessels such as the P2000 boats due to its compact dimensions and performance and durability in extreme sea conditions.

The Meridian employs a dynamically tuned gyrosphere which benefits the user by significantly reducing its maintenance requirements and costs. The gyrosphere gives the compass the very fast settle time of 45 minutes and the ability to follow rates of turn as rapid as 2000 per second. The Meridian features a 3600 compass card display while the digital remote control unit has given the Royal Navy the freedom to install the gyro in the most convenient location while positioning the remote control unit where it can be seen and used most easily.

The Meridian gyro-compass measures just 344mm by 267mm by 440mm and although suitable for any type of commercial vessel, it is considered particularly appropriate for use within the integrated bridge of high speed craft or as a stand alone unit for a GMDSS system. It offers a large array of digital or analogue outputs plus a number of digital set-up and test modes that are activated via the control unit.
