EZ-COMPASS-DIVE / MAGNETOMETER
Submersible Tilt Compensated Compass / Linear Dual Axis Tilt System
High reliability submersible advanced pitch/roll compensated COMPASS / MAGNETOMETER system is built around a state of the art CMOS microcontroller utilizing AOSI's proprietary algorithm on a 2.5" x 2.5" or 2" x 2.5" assembled PCB with a total height including tilt sensing elements of less then an inch.
Packaged in a marine grade black anodized cylindrical aluminum housing the unit outputs continuous heading, field, dual axis tilt and temperature data over the standard RS-232 interface at depth up to 3500 meters. The AZIMUTH is generated from a 3 axis semiconductor magnetometer with 12 bit ( 0.08 deg ) resolution. The LINEAR tilt information is available with 12 bit resolution and includes flash adjustable gain for up to +-70arcdeg.
COMPASS/TILT module is perfectly suitable for numerous underwater navigation, research, training, construction, entertainment and other precision orientation, navigation and leveling applications. Bottom exterior surface is calibrated for accurate zero level
The COMPASS is able to output heading information in NMEA-0183 and local LCD modes. Easy link via Hyper Terminal Windows accessory facilitates custom calibration, hard/soft iron compensation, data acquisition, data averaging, and data display. For applications requiring custom tilt range, the compass can be supplied with any AOSI's single axis tilt sensors.
