Garmin 9-axis Heading Sensor
Pickup available at Mercury Yacht Harbour
Usually ready in 2-4 days
Description
The Garmin 9-axis heading sensor provides accurate, responsive heading information to a Garmin NMEA 2000 system. Using 9-axis MEMS technology, it delivers heading to within plus or minus 3 degrees at a 10 Hz output rate, along with rate of turn and attitude data. Feeding this to a compatible chartplotter stabilises the chart, radar overlay and MARPA targets so they remain correctly oriented while manoeuvring.
The MEMS design allows the sensor to be installed in any orientation, provided it is sited away from magnetic interference, and its compass-safe distance is negligible. It connects to an existing NMEA 2000 network and is set up with menu-based or basic calibration on a compatible Garmin chartplotter. The fully gasketed, high-impact plastic housing is rated to IPX7 and accepts a NMEA 2000 input of 9 to 16 Vdc.
