Furuno's PG500R is a rate
compensated heading sensor that incorporates innovative electromagnetic
compass technology for highly accurate and stable readouts of your
ship's heading. These sophisticated components are contained within a
rugged, compact case that protects against the elements at sea. Unique
design elements make the PG500R virtually maintenance-free and easy to
install.
The PG500R heading sensor detects terrestrial magnetism and produces
compass data that can be utilized in NMEA0183 and Furuno AD10 formats.
Typical applications include true radar echo trail and true motion, auto
pilots, video plotters, scanning sonars and more.
