Digital Yacht ZDIGHSC100 High Performance Fluxgate Compass Sensor

The Digital Yacht HSC100 is a high-performance fluxgate compass sensor designed to provide accurate heading data for marine navigation systems. Using advanced fluxgate technology, this sensor delivers precise compass heading information for a wide range of onboard marine electronics applications.

High-Speed 10Hz Output for Professional Applications:

Unlike standard heading sensors that output data at just 1Hz, the HSC100 outputs at a professional-grade 10Hz rate, which is essential for MARPA target tracking and accurate radar overlay applications. This makes it ideal for enabling course-up and true motion displays on chart plotters, radar overlay onto electronic charts, and radar stabilization for MARPA/ARPA target tracking systems.

Key Features:

• High-speed 10Hz NMEA 0183 electronic fluxgate compass sensor
• Industry standard NMEA 0183 HDG output with additional AD10 heading output for Furuno systems
• Gimbaled to 45 degrees for installation flexibility
• 12/24V DC operation with minimal power consumption
• Waterproof to IPx7 rating and suitable for external mounting on steel-hulled vessels
• Automatic calibration routine that compensates for nearby magnetic influences, achieving typical accuracies within 0.5 degrees
• Manual compass offset feature for fine-tuning
• LED status indicator for easy troubleshooting
• Includes 15-meter interconnect cable

Professional Marine Navigation:

Integrated instrument systems benefit from the HSC100's compass information to calculate real-time tidal set and drift when interfaced with a log and GPS. The sensor's robust, waterproof construction ensures reliable performance in harsh marine environments, making it suitable for both recreational and commercial vessel applications.
