The Simrad HS80A GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) compass is designed to provide reliable heading, ROT and position information to Simrad Autopilots and the MX Series of navigation and AIS transponder systems.
The Simrad HS80A GNSS compass is type-approved to the latest IMO regulations including RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring). The HS80A delivers heading accuracy of better than 0.5° and provide sub-meter DGPS positioning accuracy. This level of accuracy is achieved in the HS80A from SBAS.
Both the HS80A has two IMO compliance certifications which is a big advantage for Simrad customers. A separate IMO compliant antenna is not required as the compasses meet both navigation and heading function approvals.
Integrated Gyro and tilt sensors deliver fast start-up times and provide heading updates during temporary loss of satellites.
The HS80A is supplied with NMEA 2000 as the standard interface, but can be used as a NMEA 0183 device with an optional cable.
