Digital Yacht Compass Sensor With ROT

Description

Accurate compass heading data remains a fundamental parameter for marine navigation and the HSC100 uses fluxgate technology to deliver heading data for on board systems. Typical applications include enabling course up and true motion type displays on chart plotters, radar overlay onto electronic charts and stabilisation of radars when used for MARPA/ ARPA target tracking.

Integrated instrument systems can also benefit from having compass information to calculate real time tidal set and drift when interfaced with a log and GPS. A new “Rate of Turn” version of the HSC100 that outputs the HDT and ROT messages required by a Class A transponder. For non-mandatory vessels, this provides a simple low cost solution for adding heading and rate of turn to Class A transponders (Part # ZDIGHSC100T).
