Key features of GS820
The features of this product are as follows:
- Creates a digital output of the magnetic compass
- NMEA output
- Has a digital indicator
- Compliant with IEC 60945, 61162, 62288 and 25862
The features of this product are as follows:
GS820 is one of the portable magnetic compass systems. The mechanism of data transmission systems is that they transfer specific data either physically or in the form of waves to a display. Since many magnetic compasses are not portable and must be fixed at a fixed point on the ship, a transmitter system is needed to send the output to the display via cable or waves. GS820 in UAE is a communication channel through which information is sent from the sender to the receiver. In this system, the transmitter is a magnetic compass and the receiver is the ship's rudder.
Application of GS820 in Dubai offshore
The GS820 transmission medium is actually a physical path (sometimes radio) that enables communication and sending data from the sender to the receiver. In many cases and in today's ships, it is very common to use systems based on transmission media such as the GS820 in Dubai. In fact, here the message is sent as electrical signals to a display. After reading the sent values, the ship's helmsman determines the correct direction to steer it. Since the received value of the output signal is not the same as the received value of the input signal due to transmission losses, we must also use a command repeater. For this purpose, check the features and specifications of the steering repeater 1920p on the Dubai Marine website.
Technical specifications of Transmitting Magnetic Compass (TMC) Model GS820
As we mentioned in the application section of the device, a transmitting magnetic compass system such as GS820 is used to send magnetic compass data. For this purpose, the GS820 in Dubai uses a sensor coil that can receive data output from the compass it is connected to.
The resulting signal is in NMEA, an industry standard for sharing this output with other equipment such as autopilots and VDRs. It can also be used as an input for heading repeaters such as the P1920 command repeater or the P1251 UDDU multifunction display.
One of the most important strengths of this device is the unique design of the sensor coil. The sensor coil used in this device is P1913 with high magnetic tolerance. So it can be used with a wide range of compasses. It is also easy to mount and position, making it suitable with options for additional brackets if needed for other compasses or a neat removable solution for top mounting.
The main electronic unit on the GS820 in UAE also acts as an indicator with options to show either the compass bearing (as shown on the compass) or the magnetic heading (corrected for ship's drift) either numerically or in bars.
