MD203 GNSS COMPASS & POSITION SENSOR

Introducing the MD203 GNSS Compass
The MD203 GNSS Compass by Marine Data delivers accurate heading and positioning information using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), ensuring unparalleled continuous performance even in challenging environments. Its robust, rugged housing is sealed for durability and can be mounted on fixed or poles for both marine and land applications.
Key Features:
- True heading anywhere on earth with 0.5º heading accuracy
- Heading accuracy unaffected by latitude
- Continues to provide heading during GNSS drop-outs using integrated gyro and tilt sensors
- Compliant with WAAS, EGNOS, and MSAS Satellite Based Augmentation Systems
- Replaces multiple instruments with one integrated navigation tool
- Ethernet output for data transmission
- 20 Hz update rate on heading, rate of turn, and position measurements
- 1PPS out synchronization signal
Applications:
The MD203 GNSS Compass provides a reliable source of NMEA 0183 Digital Heading Data, suitable as a replacement or alongside the Marine Data Transmitting Heading Device (THD) System. It serves as an alternative or backup to a gyrocompass for heading determination.
Specifications:
- Weight: 3 kg (excluding bracket)
- Dimensions: W 780mm; H 180mm; D 100mm
- Mounting: Horizontal Surface
- Connections: RS-232, RS-422, Ethernet, USB, 1PPS out
- Power Supply: 12 to 24 V DC
