TRANSMITTING HEADING DEVICES / TMC SYSTEM MD97TMC TRANSMITTING MAGNETIC COMPASS SYSTEM – STANDARD SKU: F097100 View Online › OVERVIEW The MD97TMC is a Transmitting Magnetic Compass (TMC) System which detects and transmits the ship’s Compass Heading over a NMEA 0183 digital connection to one or more Heading Repeaters (Compass Repeaters) at any convenient location on a vessel. Provides Digital Heading Data from a Ship’s Magnetic Compass The Calibration Control and Sensor Processor is used to calibrate Simplified system design with just two main components technology accurately processes and converts compass card position Unparalleled Accuracy; Intuitive Operator Controls The Marine Data MD97TMC Transmitting Magnetic Compass System Automatic Sensor-to-Compass Calibration Magnetic Sensors Fully sealed to IEC 60945 Exposed Area Classification Increasingly, Maritime Authorities are accepting the use of Transmitting Heading Device (THD) Systems on board vessels. Marine Data offers two types of THD system: • A system which senses the angular position of a ship’s magnetic compass card; known as a Transmitting Magnetic Compass System (TMC) A system which directly senses the Earth’s magnetic field; known as an Electro-Magnetic Compass System (EMC) the Compass Sensor by turning the ship through 390°. The latest to NMEA 0183 Heading Data. is intuitive to use with quick and easy installation. Provides 2 digital NMEA heading outputs to drive Heading Repeaters (or other devices) at a convenient location An elegant alternative to using an optical reflector in a ship’s magnetic compass installation MD71THD - Control & Display unit provides additional functionality MD54 - Compass Sensor Adhesive Mount MD58 - Compass Sensor Bracket Mount RELATED PRODUCTS • MD96JB/8 - Junction Box – to supply power and act as breakout box for 2x NMEA 0813 data channels MD94DDU - Data Distribution Unit – to supply power and for feeding several Heading Repeaters The complete range of Mari
