Precision-9 Compass - Outputs Heading, Rate Of Turn, Roll and Pitch over the NMEA 2000® network.

Precision-9 Compass supplies heading and rate-of-turn information to Simrad, B&G and Lowrance autopilot, radar and navigation systems. Based on reliable solid-state sensor technology, this compact compass offers easy installation aboard any vessel.

Unique selling points

• Heading, Rate Of Turn (ROT), Roll, and Pitch output over NMEA 2000®
• Heading and ROT calculated using 9 axis sensor data of rotation and motion
• Accurate and reliable solid-state sensor technology
• Heading accuracy of ±2° after calibration
• Easily adjustable mounting bracket allows bulkhead or up-mast installation
• IPX7 waterproof. Best in class.
• Simple installation with a single NMEA 2000® connection

The Precision-9 compass can be mounted on a flat surface or bulkhead, athwart ship or along ship. Select a location that provides a solid mounting place free from vibration (as much as possible), and as close to the vessel’s centre of roll and pitch as possible, i.e. close to the water line. It should be as far as possible away from disturbing magnetic interferences e.g. engines (min. 2 meters), ignition cables, other large metal objects and particularly the autopilot drive unit. On steel hull boats, it can be mounted 0.75-1 m (2.5 - 3.3 ft) above the wheel house on a non-magnetic stand, if no other options are available.
