Overview
- Position accuracy to within 2 metres
- Built-in dual-channel DGPS beacon receiver
- Designed to meet all requirements for commercial marine, mining or industrial applications
The MX Marine Smart Antenna offers a remarkable 2-meter DGPS accuracy with the built-in dual-channel DGPS beacon receiver, and is designed to meet all requirements for commercial marine, mining or industrial applications. Made to brave the toughest environments over longer time periods, the MX521 provides the best accuracy and reliability in the marketplace.
You can use the
MX521 as a pure input device with any computer, PDA or logic device. Using the
MX521 with the
MX420 display unit, allows your boat or machine to display position accuracy.
Features an integrated dual channel beacon receiver and unique H-field beacon antenna design. The rugged enclosure means the
MX521 can operate in harsh conditions - and is completely waterproof. The
MX521 interfaces directly to NMEA 0183 compatible devices.
The
MX521 can be flush or pole mounted to suit your needs. There is also a
5Hz Update available.
You will need a power/data cable of appropriate length to connect the MX521 to the MX420 display unit, or to your own computing device. The cable can be extended if necessary by using similar wire types. The cable terminates in a 10 pin connection at the antenna end, and bare wires at the opposing end.
