Furuno PG500R Heading Sensor

Overview Furuno PG500R Heading Sensor

Furuno PG500R Heading Sensor is intended for installations that need steady heading information without relying on a basic compass alone. The unit uses electromagnetic compass technology with rate compensation so connected systems receive more stable heading data during normal vessel motion.

Rate-compensated heading output helps connected systems maintain a cleaner reference during turns and motion.

Key Features

• Electromagnetic compass technology provides a dedicated heading source for radar, sonar, and autopilot integration.
• The waterproof housing suits marine installation where the sensor must stand up to routine onboard conditions.
• Support for NMEA 0183 and analog formats makes it easier to integrate into mixed-generation electronics packages.
• It is a practical option for vessels that need heading data but are not built entirely around newer network standards.

Applications

• Feeding heading data to radar overlays and sonar displays that benefit from a more stable directional reference.
• Supporting autopilot installations on boats that still use NMEA 0183 or analog interfaces.
• Upgrading older navigation systems with a dedicated heading sensor in a compact waterproof package.
