OVERVIEW
The MD36/5 is a solid-state Synchro to Digital Interface. It converts an AC Synchro-transformer based transmission of ships heading from legacy equipment to a modern IEC61162-1 (NMEA 0183) compliant Digital Transmission format.
Constructed in a robust die cast aluminium enclosure and finished in Jet Black (RAL9005) Fine-texture Powder Coat to complement existing marine navigation equipment. Compact and rugged, the MD36/5 offers a compact Synchro to NMEA interface solution for locations where available space is limited and is bulkhead mounted as standard.
The MD36/5 Synchro to NMEA Interface from Marine Data, easy to install and simple to maintain.
FEATURES
- Converts Analogue 3-Phase Synchro to Digital NMEA 0183
- Allows legacy equipment to connect to NMEA systems
- 115 V, 400 Hz Reference Voltage
- 90 V per phase Synchro
- Low Power Consumption
- Compact and Robust
APPLICATIONS
- A converter from three-phase synchro transmission formats to digital NMEA 0183 (IEC 61162-1) transmission formats. This converter is especially useful for retro-fitting legacy systems with modern equipment requiring a digital transmission of ships heading
