MD71TMC: Transmitting Magnetic Compass (TMC) System

SKU: MNE-0025

OVERVIEW

The MD71TMC is a Transmitting Magnetic Compass (TMC) System that uses the latest technology to accurately process and convert the ship’s magnetic compass to NMEA 0183 heading data, with unparalleled accuracy to one or more Heading Repeaters (Compass Repeaters) at any convenient location on a vessel.
Instead of using inflexible and bulky optical apparatus (reflectors, periscopes, etc.) to view the magnetic compass, electronic remote displays may be used as a Compass Repeater.
TMC systems from Marine Data are simple and intuitive, with quick installation and on-board calibration.

MD71TMC FEATURES

  • Provides Digital Heading Data from a Ship’s Magnetic Compass
  • Unparalleled Accuracy; Intuitive Operator Controls
  • Correction of Magnetic Deviation and Variation
  • Automatic Sensor-to-Compass Calibration
  • Rugged, IP65 rated Magnetic Sensors
  • Industry Proven Design
  • Bright OLED display provides high contrast and wide viewing angles

APPLICATIONS

  • Provides a digital NMEA heading output to drive a Heading Repeater (or other devices). Situated at a convenient location.
  • An elegant alternative to using an optical reflector in a ship’s magnetic compass installation.

ACCESSORIES

  • MD54 – Compass Sensor Adhesive Mount
  • MD58 – Compass Sensor Bracket Mount
  • MD71TB – Trunnion Bracket Kit for Display & Control Head
  • MD96JB/8 – Junction Box to supply power and also act as a breakout box for 2x NMEA 0813 data channels
  • MD94DDU – Data Distribution Unit to supply power and also for feeding several Heading Repeaters
