Digital Compass Module
HMR3000
E
lectronic compass module that
provides heading, pitch and roll
output for navigation and guid-
ance systems. Honeywell’s
solid state magnetoresistive
sensors make this strapdown
compass both rugged and reli-
able. This compass provides
fast response time up to 20
Hertz and high heading accu-
racy of 0.5° with 0.1° resolution.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Fast Response Time
Built with solid state magnetic sensors and no moving parts improves response time,
allowing faster updates compared to gimballed fluxgates.
Available as a circuit board 1.2 x 2.95 inches, weighing less than one ounce, or in an
aluminum enclosure.
Operates with less than 35 mA, allowing for long operation with a battery.
Accuracy better than 0.5° with 0.1° resolution for critical positioning applications.
Tilt range of
±40°
for both the roll and pitch allows operation for most applications.
Calibration routines to compensate for distortion due to nearby ferrous objects and
stray fields, such as vehicles.
User settings of baud rate, update rate, output format, units, filter settings, deviation
angles, alarms and warnings are stored internally in non-volitile memory.
