Product Overview

HSC100 High Performance Fluxgate Sensor

Accurate compass heading data remains a fundamental parameter for marine navigation and the HSC100 uses fluxgate technology to deliver heading data for on board systems. Typical applications include enabling course up and true motion type displays on chart plotters, radar overlay onto electronic charts and stabilisation of radars when used for MARPA/ARPA target tracking. Integrated instrument systems can also benefit from having compass information to calculate real time tidal set and drift when interfaced with a log and GPS.

Features:

  • High speed (10Hz) NMEA electronic fluxgate compass sensor
  • Ideal for use with radar overlay and MARPA target tracking systems
  • Industry standard NMEA 0183 HDG output
  • Gimbaled to 45 degrees
  • 12/24V DC operation with minimal power consumption
  • Waterproof to IPx7 and suitable for external mounting on steel hulled vessels
  • Automatic calibration routine and manual compass offset feature
  • Additional AD10 heading output for interface with Furuno systems
  • LED status indicator
  • 15m interconnect cable


Most low cost heading sensors only output data at 1Hz (once per second) but the HSC100 outputs at 10Hz which is required for MARPA target tracking and accurate radar overlays.

The HSC100 is waterproof so it can be mounted externally on steel hulled vessels. It also features an automatic calibration routine to compensate for the effects of nearby magnetic influences. This involves turning the boat through 1.5 circles at a constant angular velocity whilst in calibration mode. Once completed, typical accuracies are within 0.5 degrees

















Expert Overview

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary output data rate of the HSC100 sensor?

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.

What is included with the Digital Yacht HSC100 sensor?

The product includes the HSC100 High Performance Fluxgate Sensor and a 15m interconnect cable. It also features an LED status indicator for operational feedback.

Can this sensor be used on steel-hulled vessels?

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.

What power requirements does the HSC100 have?

The HSC100 operates on 12/24V DC power. It is designed for minimal power consumption, making it suitable for continuous operation on marine systems.
