SOLID STATE HEADING SENSOR PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Jeppesen Marine’s Nobeltec
® Solid State Heading Sensor (SSHS)™
is a Solid State Rate /
Gyro Compass that uses innovative electromagnetic technology for highly accurate, stable
readouts of your ship's heading.
SSHS incorporates solid-state accelerometers and a solid-state angular rate sensor for
indicating the vessel’s attitude and rate of turn.
The SSHS detects terrestrial magnetism and produces compass data that can be utilized in
NMEA0183 and NMEA 2000
®
formats. Typical applications include radar echo trail, autopilots,
digital chart plotters, sounder devices and more.
Using the SSHS can significantly improve the stability of your radar / chart overlay, improve
target acquisition and calculation of target-tracking data, and improve your autopilot
performance.
Contained within a rugged, compact case that protects against harsh marine environments,
Nobeltec’s SSHS is designed to be virtually maintenance free and easy to install. However,
marine electronic equipment cannot function properly unless installed, calibrated, and
maintained correctly. Please read and follow the guidelines in this manual carefully in order to
insure optimal performance.
This Owner’s Manual covers the key installation and usage information for the
SSHS
. It is
written for an audience assumed to have a mid-level, preexisting knowledge of the principles
of marine navigation, as well as previous marine installation experience.
This document should in no way be used to replace actual navigation training and experience.
