MD97JB COMPASS SENS INT JUNCTION BOX

Features: • Interfaces with Marine Data Fluxgate Coil Magnetic Sensors • Generates Digital NMEA 0183 Heading Data from the Ship’s Magnetic Compass or from the Marine Data MD53A Electromagnetic Compass • Configurable for Earth’s local magnetic variation and Ship’s magnetic deviation with the Marine Data™ MD93 Variation and Deviation Corrector • Incorporates a Heading Stabilisation Filter • Rugged, marinised aluminium alloy housing • Independently tested to IEC60945:2002 by TÜV Product Service Ltd. Specifications: Physical: • Weight: 0.45kg • Dimensions: 76mm overall width; 165mm overall length; 38mm overall height • Mounting: Bulkhead mounted • Connections (with options): • 5 way socket for compass sensor (sensor available separately) • 4 way socket for power and NMEA 0183 RS422 data output • 7 way plug for direct connection with the Marine Data MD93 Variation and Deviation Corrector • Option: 7 way socket for 2 x Furuno™ compatible digital outputs • Construction: Aluminium alloy enclosure • Finish: Jet Black RAL9005; fine texture Electrical: • Power Supply: 24V DC nominal (18V-31V DC) • Power Consumption (when connected to compass sensor): 1.5W without MD93; 3.5W with MD93 Data Input: • MD52A Ship’s Magnetic Compass Sensor (fluxgate coil); 10V, 400 500Hz • MD53A Electromagnetic Compass (Earth’s magnetic field sensor; fluxgate coil); 10V, 400 500Hz • MD93 NMEA 0183 Variation and Deviation Corrector Data Output: • Digital RS422 NMEA 0183; 1 start bit; 8 data bits; no parity; 2 stop bits Baud rate: 4800 (other rates available as factory set options); heading data HDM, HDT & HDG (Variation and Deviation are output on data string HDG) Operational: • Performance with MD52A fitted: ±1.0° accuracy with respect to the compass card. Overall performance is constrained by the vessel’s magnetic compass operating in its binnacle • Performance with MD53A fitted: ±1.0° accuracy to Earth’s magnetic field (in extreme case, ±3.0°) • Update rate: 3Hz (other update rates available as factory options) • Display: None. The required configuration accessory MD93 Variation and Deviation Corrector has an onboard 16 character alphanumeric LCD display which can show Magnetic Heading, True Heading (corrected magnetic heading) and Variation
