v100Ka – Marine Satellite Communication System

Gyrocompass Connection
Connecting the System with a Gyrocompass
The ship’s gyrocompass provides true heading input to the antenna system which
allows the antenna to target and acquire the desired satellite quickly. Intellian always
recommends to connect a gyrocompass to the antenna through the gyrocompass
interface on the ACU. If the ship’s gyrocompass output is other than NMEA 0183
and NMEA 2000, a separate purchase of an NMEA converter is required.
Recommended Cable
• NMEA 0183 / NMEA 2000 Gyrocompass Cable (Customer supplied)
• Connector Type: 2 conductors for NMEA 0183, 5 conductors for NMEA 2000
• NMEA heading sentence: xx HDT (4800 Baud, 8, N,1)
If there is no HDT sentence, then use HDM sentence instead.
• NMEA 2000 heading PGN Number = 127250 (Vessel Heading)
