Furuno PG-500 Precision Fluxgate Heading Sensor

  • Inexpensive heading sensor with the highest accuracy and stability in this class of equipment
  • Unique true or magnetic heading (Automatically compensates for local magnetic variation when an appropriate GPS navigator is connected)
  • Internal solid-state rate gyroscope provide high stability
  • Compact waterproof housing with visual status indicators for a simple installation
  • Three heading data output ports:
  • NMEA output format selectable between standard NMEA0183/IEC 61162-1 or NMEA0183 High Speed (HS)/IEC 61162-2

The PG-500 consists of a fluxgate sensor, solidstate rate gyroscope, processor and serial data interfaces. The sensor detects the heading relative to the magnetic north as induced within the fluxgate coils by terrestrial magnetism. The processor monitors the Coriolis force output by the solid-state rate gyroscope and stabilizes the compass heading.

Unlike an ordinary fluxgate that only outputs sine/cosine data, the PG-500 outputs the heading data in the format of IEC 61162, NMEA 0183 or FURUNO AD-10 format. The PG-500 can provide True Heading by using its correction facilities for magnetic deviation and variation. Deviation (errors mainly caused by shipboard environment) can be automatically corrected by running the boat over full 360 degrees. Variation (errors subject to geographical location) can also be automatically corrected when interfaced with a GPS navigator.

Note: This PG-500 heading sensor utilizes the earth’s magnetism. Therefore, steel-hull installations could be problematic due to residual magnetism.
