MD97TMC: Transmitting Magnetic Compass (TMC) System
OVERVIEW
The MD97TMC is a Transmitting Magnetic Compass (TMC) System that detects and also transmits the ship’s Compass Heading over a NMEA 0183 digital connection to one or more Heading Repeaters (Compass Repeaters) at any convenient location on a vessel.
The Calibration Control and Sensor Processor are used to calibrate the Compass Sensor. This is done by turning the ship through 390°. The latest technology accurately processes and converts the compass card position to NMEA 0183 Heading Data.
The Marine Data MD97TMC Transmitting Magnetic Compass System is intuitive to use, and additionally, it is quick and easy to install.

| Increasingly, Maritime Authorities are
accepting the use of Transmitting Heading Device (THD) Systems onboard vessels.
Marine Data offers two types of THD systems: |
• A system that senses the angular position of a ship’s magnetic compass card, known as a Transmitting Magnetic Compass System (TMC)
• A system that directly senses the Earth’s magnetic field, known as an Electro-Magnetic Compass System (EMC) |
