Marine Data MD97TMC Transmitting Magnetic Compass System – Standard

The MD97TMC is a Transmitting Magnetic Compass (TMC) System which detects and transmits the ship’s Compass Heading over a NMEA 0183 digital connection to one or more Heading Repeaters (Compass Repeaters) at any convenient location on a vessel. [gap height="15px"] The Calibration Control and Sensor Processor is used to calibrate the Compass Sensor by turning the ship through 390°. The latest technology accurately processes and converts compass card position to NMEA 0183 Heading Data. [gap height="15px"] The Marine Data MD97TMC Transmitting Magnetic Compass System is intuitive to use with quick and easy installation. [gap height="15px"]

Applications

Provides 2 digital NMEA heading outputs to drive Heading Repeaters (or other devices) at a convenient location
