Digital Yacht HSC100 High Performance Fluxgate Sensor

Ensure precise marine navigation with the HSC100 High Performance Fluxgate Sensor. Leveraging advanced fluxgate technology, this sensor delivers accurate compass heading data essential for various onboard systems, enhancing your boating experience.

Key Features

• High-speed NMEA electronic fluxgate compass sensor operating at 10Hz
• Optimized for radar overlay and MARPA target tracking systems
• Outputs industry-standard NMEA 0183 HDG data
• Gimbaled up to 45 degrees for enhanced stability
• Compatible with 12/24V DC systems, ensuring minimal power consumption
• Waterproof to IPx7 standards, ideal for external mounting on steel-hulled vessels
• Automatic calibration routine with manual compass offset feature
• Additional AD10 heading output for seamless integration with Furuno systems
• LED status indicator for easy monitoring
• Includes a 15m interconnect cable for flexible installation

Superior Performance

Unlike many low-cost heading sensors that provide data at only 1Hz, the HSC100 offers a robust 10Hz output. This higher data rate is crucial for applications such as MARPA target tracking and creating accurate radar overlays, ensuring your navigation systems perform reliably and efficiently.

Waterproof and Durable Design

The HSC100 is engineered to withstand harsh marine environments. Its waterproof IPx7 rating allows for external mounting on steel-hulled vessels, providing both durability and resilience against the elements.

Advanced Calibration and Accuracy

Equipped with an automatic calibration routine, the HSC100 compensates for nearby magnetic influences by rotating the vessel 1.5 circles at a constant angular velocity during calibration. Additionally, the manual compass offset feature allows for fine-tuning, achieving typical accuracies within 0.5 degrees.
