Simrad 000-12607-001 Precision-9 Compass NMEA 2000 Heading Sensor

The Simrad Precision-9 Compass delivers accurate heading and rate-of-turn information to compatible Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G autopilot, radar, and navigation systems over an NMEA 2000 connection. With an internal array of solid-state sensors constantly measuring motion and orientation on nine axes, the Precision-9 also provides pitch and roll data to connected equipment.

Key Features:

• Outputs magnetic heading at 20 Hz and rate of turn at 20 Hz for responsive autopilot performance
• Provides pitch and roll data at 10 Hz plus heave information
• Sophisticated MEMS-based solid-state sensor array measures motion on nine separate axes
• Heading accuracy of ±2° after calibration with repeatability of ±1.0° or better
• Roll and pitch range of ±45° for accurate performance in rough conditions
• IPX7 waterproof rating allows external up-mast mounting on steel hulled vessels to avoid magnetic interference
• Easily adjustable mounting bracket for bulkhead or flat surface installation
• Simple single-cable NMEA 2000 connection carries both power and data
• Low power consumption at just 0.4W (LEN: 1)

Technical Specifications:

• Dimensions: 4 11/16" W × 1 7/16" H × 4 11/16" D
• Power: 8-16V DC via NMEA 2000
• NMEA 2000 messages: PGN 127250, 127251, 127257, 127252
