NAVIGAT 2500 CompassNet

Product Description

The highly reliable Fiber Optic Gyro Compass (FOG) provides a compact AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference System) that offers simplicity of use and reliability with a very fast return of investment.

The NAVIGAT 2500 fiber optic gyro compass system is maintenance free (MF) meaning regular maintenance or calibration is not required. The fiber optic gyro compass has no moving parts and does not rely on inertial resistance to any movement. NAVIGAT 2500 is based on long proven technology applied to harsh environments and hence, the most reliable and affordable alternative to the mechanical gyro compass. In addition, the NAVIGAT 2500 does not fall under any export restriction and is available for immediate delivery and installation. It is the perfect fit for all vessels operating on tight schedules requiring high reliable heading sensors with minimal service effort at a highly competitive price point.

NAVIGAT 2500 CompassNet features include the provision of heading, rate of turn and roll and pitch data, with an initial settling time of 5 minutes and fine settling within a maximum of additional 25 minutes. The FOG sensor’s solid state nature is unaffected to speed / latitude error and integrated with CompassNet provides 12 serial interfaces for heading repeaters plus 6 serial interfaces for heading receivers and analogue outputs.

The NAVIGAT 2500 is fully integrated with Sperry Marine’s redundant CompassNet Heading Management System. The open platform approach, that allows integration of up to four heading sensors, provides the option to integrate legacy products like NAVIGAT 2200, NAVIGAT 3000 or NAVIGAT X MK1 in combination with NAVIGAT 2500. In addition, it is possible to integrate third party heading sensors with standard serial NMEA-0183 interface.

The NAVIGAT 2500 is a small size and low weight unit and its standard installation tray provides for easy and flexible onboard installation. Due to the network approach of NAVIGAT 2500 CompassNet, the system installation time can be reduced up to 50% in comparison to legacy configurations or third party systems and in addition saves up to 80% of wiring. Following the full integration approach, the system will be set up through one common user interface device, the NAVITWIN V CDU, which reduces the commissioning effort further.
