- Vibration Resistance: ±11 G at 60Hz
- Supply Voltage: Up to 30 Vdc
- Operating Pressure Range: -0.5 to +2 Bar
Electrical Characteristics at 20°C:
- Supply Voltage: 8 to 30 Vdc
- Current Consumption: 25 mA
- NMEA Backbone Load: 1 LEN
Installation and Calibration:
The compass is housed in a water-resistant enclosure and can be mounted outside a steel hull. It features a fluxgate with a floating core and high-precision interface circuits. Calibration involves rotating the vessel at a fixed angular speed, with status indicated by a blue LED. The compass should be installed away from power supplies to avoid magnetic interference.
Applications:
Suitable for general steering, RADAR North-up, autopilots, AIS, and course watch. It is applicable in various industries including building and construction, mining, underground and underwater navigation, mapping, geo-stationary satellite positioning, robotic and autonomous machinery, rail industry, agriculture, and cranes.

A5050 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS AT 20°C PARAMETER Supply Voltage Current consumption NMEA Backbone Load INSTALLATION This compass is a complete NMEA 2000 attitude system for displays and devices which require a magnetic heading such as Autopilots . It is housed in a water-resistant enclosure so it can be mounted outside a steel hull. The A5050 contains a fluxgate with floating core surrounded by high-precision interface circuits which allow a microprocessor to acquire field strength from two orthogonal sensors of the horizontal component of the Earth’s magnetic field. The processor calculates...
