The Lilley & Gillie SR4 is an advanced, MED-approved Class A magnetic compass engineered for commercial ships, naval vessels, and offshore fleets. Revolving around a major breakthrough in compass manufacturing, the SR4 features a precision-molded polycarbonate compound body rather than a traditional brass bowl. This seamless construction completely eliminates seam corrosion and fluid leaks, preventing the formation of obstructive air bubbles over the compass card.
Designed for maximum light entry, its semi-transparent body enhances day and night visibility. The SR4 is externally gimballed and features a standard 175mm card diameter, making it suitable as a main magnetic steering or reflector compass on vessels of any tonnage. It integrates seamlessly into binnacle systems (such as the Sestrel Mk2020S and Mk2002S) as well as overhead deckhead and desk mounting brackets.
Key Features:
• Leak-Free Polycarbonate Body: Replaces traditional brass joints to eliminate fluid leaks and air bubble formation.
• Superior Readability: High-clarity, semi-transparent compound allows optimal ambient light to illuminate the compass card.
• Full SOLAS Class A Approval: MED Wheelmark, Bureau Veritas, and CCS type-approved for commercial vessels of all sizes.
• TMC Sensor Ready: Base comes pre-drilled to easily fit Transmit Magnetic Compass (TMC) sensors, including GS820 and GS520 systems.
• Versatile Mounting Options: Compatible with standard binnacles, overhead mirror mounts with LED lighting, or desk bracket mounts.
• Externally Gimballed: Heavy-duty external gimbal ring ensures card stability under pitch and roll conditions.
