B&G Precision-9 Compass

The B&G Precision-9 Compass supplies heading and rate-of-turn information to B&G instruments, autopilot, radar and navigation systems. By incorporating a nine-axis array of solid-state motion and orientation sensors, the Precision-9 also provides accurate roll, pitch and heave data to compatible equipment via its NMEA 2000® interface.

Features:

• An adjustable mounting bracket and single-cable connection allow simple and cost-effective installation aboard any vessel, including an up-mast mounting option suitable for steel hulls
• NMEA 2000® Heading & ROT (Rate of Turn) Output
  • With NMEA 2000® output, the Precision-9 Compass provides heading, Rate Of Turn (ROT), roll and pitch information to connected equipment including autopilot, instruments, radar, multifunction displays, and other navigational systems
• Solid-State Sensor Technology
  • The Precision-9 Compass incorporates a solid-state sensor array based on MEMS technology
  • This high-precision array measures motion on nine separate axes: heading, heel, trim, roll, pitch, yaw, surge and sway
  • Data from all nine axes is used to calculate the most accurate heading and rate-of-turn information possible, avoiding many common limitations of conventional fluxgate electronic compasses and delivering heading accuracy of ±2 degrees after calibration
• Mount Almost Anywhere
  • An easily adjustable mounting bracket and single-cable NMEA 2000® connectivity allow the Precision-9 Compass to be installed on any vessel, in almost any location
  • The compass may also be mounted directly to any flat surface without a bracket
  • On steel hulled vessels where magnetic interference makes bulkhead mounting unsuitable, an IPX7 waterproof rating allows external up-mast installation
