The B&G Precision-9 Compass 000-12607-001 delivers highly accurate heading and rate-of-turn data using advanced nine-axis solid-state sensors. Designed for seamless NMEA 2000 integration, it provides reliable heading, roll, pitch, and heave information to autopilots, instruments, and navigation systems. Flexible mounting options and IPX7 waterproofing make it ideal for a wide range of vessels.
B&G Precision-9 Compass - 000-12607-001 Item # 861462
Description
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
