  • Page 8: Description

    MD77HR 4 DESCRIPTION The MD77HR is a rotating dial Compass Heading Repeater. It is designed to display Ship’s heading as part of a Gyro-Compass or Transmitting Magnetic Compass System, receiving data via a NMEA 0183 digital transmission. The MD77HR has a dial of 118mm diameter marked in 1 degree increments with numeric values every 10 degrees plus cardinal and inter-cardinal markers.
  • Page 9: Principle Of Operation

    MD77HR 5 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The MD77HR accepts serial azimuth data from a Gyro-Compass or Transmitting Magnetic Compass (TMC) in digital format using standard NMEA 0183 (IEC61162-1) True or Magnetic sentences. The input is processed by electronic circuitry contained within the Repeater enclosure, powered from 18V to 32V DC derived from the ship’s supply.
  • Page 10: Application

    MD77HR 6 APPLICATION The MD77HR displays True or Magnetic Heading Data transmitted from NMEA 0183 (IEC 61162-1) compatible marine equipment (Gyro-Compass, TMC, EMC, GPS Compass etc.) The following NMEA 0183 sentences (in priority order) may be used to display Heading:...
