1U262-002-42, Model 4000B-31 Sigma-Tek Directional Gyro, Air, Lighted

1U262-002-42 Overview

The 4000B is our standard air-driven directional gyro. As the aircraft turn left or right, gears on the sensing unit and dial shaft translate this rotation into rotation of the instrument’s vertical dial. Left turns produce clockwise dial rotation and right turns produce counter-clockwise rotation. We Can control the gyro is a heading selector knob located on the lower left of the instrument. Pressing and turning the knob first disengages the dial shaft and then resets the dial to a new heading, which results in a new course indication. Releasing the selector knob re-engages the dial shaft. The on-course position of the pointer is always at the top of the azimuth circle (0° on the dial with the aircraft headed north).
