The Digital Yacht HSC100 High Performance Fluxgate Sensor provides accurate compass heading data for marine navigation systems. This device is designed for IT professionals and marine electronics integrators requiring reliable heading information for onboard applications. It addresses the need for high-speed data output, delivering 10Hz NMEA 0183 HDG data, which is essential for advanced functionalities like MARPA/ARPA target tracking and precise radar overlay onto electronic charts. The sensor also supports stabilization of radars and can contribute to calculating real-time tidal set and drift when integrated with a log and GPS.
Key features include a gimbaled design to 45 degrees, 12/24V DC operation, and IPx7 waterproofing for external mounting, including on steel-hulled vessels. An automatic calibration routine helps compensate for magnetic influences, achieving typical accuracies within 0.5 degrees. The ZDIGHSC100 also offers an AD10 heading output for Furuno systems, ensuring broader compatibility for complex marine IT infrastructures.
The HSC100 sensor outputs data at a high speed of 10Hz. This rate is necessary for applications such as MARPA target tracking and accurate radar overlays, which require more frequent updates than standard 1Hz sensors.
The product includes the HSC100 High Performance Fluxgate Sensor and a 15m interconnect cable. It also features an LED status indicator for operational feedback.
Yes, the HSC100 is waterproof to IPx7 and is suitable for external mounting on steel-hulled vessels. It also includes an automatic calibration routine to compensate for magnetic influences from the vessel.
The HSC100 operates on 12/24V DC power. It is designed for minimal power consumption, making it suitable for continuous operation on marine systems.
