The Maretron SSC300 is a second-generation solid-state rate gyro electronic compass engineered for precision marine navigation. Featuring factory calibration for maximum accuracy, it delivers better than 0.7° heading accuracy through ±45° of roll and pitch angle, and better than 1° roll and pitch accuracy in static conditions. Heading data is transmitted ten times per second, while vessel attitude — including pitch and roll — is reported once per second.
At the heart of the SSC300 is a micromachined 3-axis rate gyro working in conjunction with a 3-axis accelerometer. Advanced stabilization algorithms process this data to maintain accurate, stable readings during dynamic conditions such as hard turns or rough seas. Automatic deviation calibration and advanced digital filtering of the 3-axis magnetometer, accelerometer, and rate gyro further enhance reliability, making the SSC300 an excellent heading sensor for autopilot and radar overlay applications.
Key Features:
- Better than 0.7° heading accuracy in static conditions
- Better than 1.5° heading accuracy in dynamic conditions
- Better than 1°/second rate of turn accuracy
- Better than 1° pitch and roll accuracy
- Three-axis magnetometer, three-axis rate gyro, and three-axis accelerometer
- Outputs NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 data simultaneously
- IP67 waterproof enclosure
- Automatic deviation calibration
- Factory calibrated for maximum out-of-box accuracy
Connectivity:
The SSC300 is certified to the NMEA 2000 network standard and compatible with the NMEA 0183 digital interface standard. It connects directly to any NMEA 2000 network and, with the optional NMEA 0183 cable accessory, can share data with navigational software, chart plotters, autopilots, and dedicated instrument displays — including Maretron's N2KView vessel monitoring system and DSM150/DSM250 color graphics displays.
Applications:
- Marine navigation and heading sensing
- Autopilot integration
- Radar stabilization and overlay
- Satellite antenna stabilization
- Swing meter
This kit includes the SSC300 compass unit with a 10-meter cable and connector, ready for installation on power or sail vessels.
