Transmitting Heading Device with enhanced stability by a solid-state rate gyroscope

PRECISION FLUXGATE BOAT COMPASS

Model

PG-500

â–  Inexpensive heading sensor with the highest accuracy and stability in this class of equipment â–  â–  Automatic correction for localmagnetic variation with an appropriate Gps navigator or manual correction with an optional remote display RD-30 High stability by a solid-state rategyroscope â–  Compact waterproof housing withvisual status indicators for a simple installation â–  Three heading data output ports:two IEC/NMEA ports, one AD-10 port â–  High speed heading data output inIEC 61162-2 format
The FURUNO PG-500 is an inexpensive magneticheading sensor for pleasure craft and coastal fishing boats.The PG-500 consists of a fluxgate sensor, solid-state rate gyroscope, processor and serial data interfaces. The sensor detects the heading relative to the magnetic north as induced within the fluxgate coils by terrestrial magnetism. The processor monitors the Coriolis force output by the solid-state rate gyroscope and stabilizes the compass heading. Unlike an ordinary fluxgate that only outputs sine/cosine data, the PG-500 outputs the heading data in the format of IEC 61162, NMEA 0183 orFURUNO AD-10 format. The PG-500 can provide True Heading by using itscorrection facilities for magnetic deviation and variation. Deviation (errors mainly caused by shipboard environment) can be automatically corrected by swinging the boat. Variation (errors subject to geographical location) can also be automatically corrected when interfaced with a MARINE GPS navigator. Correction for variation can manually be entered and indicated when an optional remote display RD-30 is connected. Catalogue No. M-1527The future today with FURUNO's electronics technology. R
