Heading Display
# 91 01 00		 Analog LED-pointer around face of display shows heading deviation from selected heading.
The digital LCD is used to set the selected heading or to display the actual heading. The lower half of the analog LED-Display shows the rudder angle in case the Fly-By-Wire Steering or autopilot is installed.
The Heading Display can be set up in two different ways. Either as a "Multi Function Display", which can show any parameter in the system (heading, speed, depth etc...),
..or as a "Compass-Autopilot-Display", which can be used to switch on the autopilot in HEADING mode.
Display: $643.64   Web Price: $ 514.91
Instead of the Compass Display, an Autopilot Display may be chosen for the Sonic Gyro Compass. All three autopilot modes can be selected with it: the Heading Mode, the NAV Mode and - in case of yachts - the Wind Mode. For more details see " Autopilot Display".

Sonic
Heading Gyro
# 91 02 05
Heading Gyro and GPS-Gyro-Compass:
The Sonic Heading Gyro is the heart of the system. It is a light weight and maintenance free electronic Gyro Compass, manufactured by TECNAUTIC since 1992. It sends the ships heading to the cockpit displays and to the Autopilot with a precision of 0.1degrees. In addition, it transmits rate of turn with a precision of 0.05 degrees per second. Without delay and with zero hysteresis (no backlash). Rough seas and rapid motion will not cause an error of the Heading Gyro. The Sonic Heading Gyro is attached either to a display unit or to an electronic steering wheel. The gyro is slewed to magnetic north by a flux gate or by a GPS receiver. Together with a GPS, the gyro forms a GPS-Gyro-Compass on a moving boat. This feature is especially useful on large vessels, where a flux gate cannot work reliably.
Sonic Heading Gyro (needs Display Unit): $358.60   Web price $286.88

Flux Gate Compass
# 91 01 05		 The Flux Gate Sensor is an electronic version of the magnetic compass. It is used here to synchronize the Sonic Heading Gyro to magnetic north, to avoid long term drifting of the Gyro. Any short term heading fluctuation, which is normal for every Flux Gate Magnetic Compass, will not be reflected on the Sonic Heading Gyro. The Flux Gate Sensor has automatic deviation compensation.
