The FURUNO PG-1000 is a new, inexpensive
electromagnetic compass. It provides a highly
accurate and stable readout of the ship's heading
thanks to the sophisticated structure by three-axis
magnetometer, inclinometer and integral vibrating
gyrosensor.
The PG-1000 detects terrestrial magnetism and
produces compass data. The data can be utilized
in serial formats such as NMEA 0183 and FURUNO
AD-10. It is sent to various equipment that need
accurate and stable heading data. Typical
applications include Radar Echo Trail and True
Motion, Video Plotters, Scanning Sonars, etc.
When connected with a GPS navigator, magnetic
variation correction can be made automatically.
A True Heading readout is possible as modern GPS
receivers output compass variation data in memory
with respect to the vessels geographic areas.
Because of its high accuracy, the PG-1000 can be
used as a backup system for the vessel's gyro
compass .
The PG-1000 also has an automatic re-calibration
capability. Once compensated at the time of
installation, the PG-1000 will continue to detect the
magnetic deviation error and carry out automatic re-
calibration while it is in use.
