Accurate compass heading data remains a fundamental parameter for marine navigation and the HSC100 uses fluxgate technology to deliver heading data for on board systems. Typical applications include enabling course up and true motion type displays on chart plotters, radar overlay onto electronic charts and stabilisation of radars when used for MARPA/ARPA target tracking. Integrated instrument systems can also benefit from having compass information to calculate real time tidal set and drift when interfaced with a log and GPS.

Industry standard NMEA 0183 HDG output
Gimbaled to 45 degrees
12/24V DC operation with minimal power consumption
Waterproof to IPx7 and suitable for external mounting on steel hulled vessels
Automatic calibration routine and manual compass offset feature
Additional AD10 heading output for interface with Furuno systems
LED status indicator
15m interconnect cable
Most low cost heading sensors only output data at 1Hz (once per second) but the HSC100 outputs at 10Hz which is required for MARPA target tracking and accurate radar overlays.
The HSC100 is waterproof so it can be mounted externally on steel hulled vessels. It also features an automatic calibration routine to compensate for the effects of nearby magnetic influences. This involves turning the boat through 1.5 circles at a constant angular velocity whilst in calibration mode. Once completed, typical accuracies are within 0.5 degrees
The Digital Yacht HSC100 High Performance Fluxgate Compass Sensor provides precise heading data essential for advanced marine navigation systems. Designed for integration with chart plotters, radar overlays, and stabilisation systems, the HSC100 delivers reliable 10Hz NMEA 0183 HDG output, enabling real-time course and heading updates. Its high-speed data output is particularly beneficial for applications such as MARPA and ARPA target tracking, where rapid and accurate heading information is critical for safe and effective vessel operation. The sensor's robust design includes a waterproof IPx7 rating, allowing for external mounting on steel-hulled vessels exposed to harsh marine environments. Its automatic calibration routine compensates for magnetic disturbances, ensuring sustained accuracy within approximately 0.5 degrees after calibration, which involves a simple turning procedure of the vessel. The device features a 12/24V DC operation with minimal power consumption, making it suitable for various onboard power systems. Additional features include an integrated LED status indicator, manual compass offset adjustments, and an auxiliary AD10 heading output for Furuno system compatibility. The sensor comes with a 15-meter interconnect cable for flexible installation options, making it a versatile choice for modern marine navigation setups. Whether used for enhancing radar overlays, stabilising radars, or calculating tidal set and drift when connected with log and GPS systems, the HSC100 ensures dependable, high-speed heading data to support precise navigation and situational awareness on board.
