HS02 , HS03 Rate Gyro Heading Sensor NS002437, NS002443

Description

The Northstar family of heading sensors utilize a combination of a fluxgate compass and a rate gyro to provide a gyro stabilized heading. Both the fluxgate and gyro are enclosed together in a single rugged housing

Functionality

Provides the vessels heading to the 8000i system. Use the heading sensor when installing a Northstar radar to give accurate radar overlay.

The heading sensor outputs NMEA which is connects to the utility cable of a 8000i processor

Location Guide

Use the HS03 with external fluxgate when using around large quantities of ferrous metal, for example a steel or ferro-cement hull or cabin or steel or iron equipment, such as motors, cooking equipment and places where steel objects are stored.

Mounting and Calibration
