Airmar H2183—Heading Sensor - Manual (Page 4)

4
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing an Airmar solid-state sensor. The compact housing is
waterproof with a single removable cable. The H2183 is actually three sensors in
a single unit—a three-axis magnetic compass, a three-axis accelerometer, and a
three-axis rate gyro. Data is simultaneously output in digital NMEA 0183 and
NMEA 2000° formats.
1. Only available if magnetic variation is available from an external device such as a GPS.
Features
• Fast response time
• Stable and accurate data in dynamic conditions
• Can be programmed to compensate for an installation that is not aligned to the
front of the vehicle/bow of the boat and/or level
• Can be calibrated to compensate for magnetic deviation caused by ferrous
metals and other electro-magnetic fields
• Waterproof housing
• Waterproof cable system
• Bracket or flush mount
