    The Lehmkuhl LR40 gyro repeater accepts heading inputs from various gyro compasses and converts it to a serial output format. It displays ship's heading on a four digit LED display and rotation on a ring of 30 lamps. The LR40 can be configured as a master or slave repeater and outputs data in a proprietary binary format that WinFrog reads to obtain heading values.

    DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
    The Lehmkuhl LR40 is a gyro repeater that accepts inputs from a variety of survey and
    navigation gyros, and converts and outputs heading data in user selectable serial
    RS232 format. The LR40 can be connected to most types of gyro compasses without
    any special interface circuits.

    Ship’s heading is displayed by a four digit LED display. The turning indicator is a ring of
    thirty solid state lamps. 5 of these lamps are lit at the same time. When the ship turns to
    starboard, all five lights rotate in a clockwise direction and when the ship turns to port,
    they rotate in an counter-clockwise direction with a resolution of 6 or 3 steps per degree
    of turning of the ship.

    The Lehmkuhl LR40 outputs are similar to that of the Lehmkuhl LR60 and hence the
    driver will work for both devices. Both instruments are capable of outputting NMEA,
    RGC11, ANSCH, and LR40 data strings, however only the binary data output is used by
    this driver. Should the instrument be programmed to output the NMEA (HDT) string, the
    (Gyro) NMEA driver could be used.

    DEVICE CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS:
    Baud Rate: 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600 (9600 suggested)
    Data Bits: 8
    Stop Bits: 1
    Parity: None

    WINFROG I/O DEVICES > CONFIG OPTIONS:


    The Lehmkuhl LR40/LR60 is added to WinFrog from the Gyro device category. Adding
    a LR40 creates a Heading data item, as seen in the I/O Device dialog box below.

    No device configuration is required or available at the I/O Device level.

    WINFROG VEHICLE - DEVICE > EDIT OPTIONS:


    Once the LEHMKUHL LR40 Gyro has been added to the vehicle’s Device list, it must be
    configured to suit the application. In the Vehicle’s Device list, highlight the LR40 device
    and click the Edit button. The Configure Gyro dialog box appears as seen below.

    WinFrog User’s Guide - Appendix C - GYRO/LEHMKUHL LR40 Page 2 of 5


    Calculation (Primary/Secondary):
    Set the type of calculation to primary or secondary using the calculation radio
    buttons. Devices set to primary calculation are used to provide the vehicle with a
    heading. Devices set to secondary are not used in vehicle calculations.

    In the case of primary device failure, WinFrog will not automatically use the
    secondary device(s). You must manually change the secondary devices to primary.

    Heading Offset:
    A correction value (as determined from a gyro calibration) can be input in the
    Heading Offset Box. This value is added to the heading value from the Lehmkuhl
    LR40 to provide a corrected heading for the vehicle. Note that positive or negative
    values can be entered.

    Note also that the Lehmkuhl LR40 is a ‘programmable’ repeater, which allows for an
    initial heading to be entered. The repeater then notes the gyrocompass’ steps to
    increase or decrease the heading displayed and output.

    Heading Filter/Heading Gate:


    The Heading Filter is used to “smooth” heading values used by the vehicle. The
    value entered in the Heading Filter indicates the number of headings that will be
    used to predict the next heading value. The larger the value entered, the “heavier”
    the filter will be – i.e. the slower the vehicle’s heading will respond to changes.

    The Heading Gate defines a tolerance value to limit the use of anomalies in gyro
    readings. If the next observed gyro value received falls outside the specified range
    of predicted values (i.e. plus or minus the entered value), the value will not be used.

    CONFIGURATION DETAILS:
    The LR40 can be internally programmed to be a Master Repeater or a Slave Repeater.
    As a Master Repeater, the LR40 decodes 180:1 or 360:1 transmission signals, displays
    the ships heading, and controls the turning indicator and the RS422 serial output
    interface.

    As a Slave Repeater the LR40 receives RS422 serial information from a Master
    Repeater, displays the ships heading, and controls the turning indicator and the RS422
    serial output interface.

    Setting of the D.I.L. switches (see figure X) determine:


    1. Whether the repeater should work as master or as slave.
    2. Baud rate of the data output/input.
    3. Rate of turning indication (6 or 3 steps per degree turning of the ship).
