Reliable and Accurate Heading Information

The Simrad Precision-9 Compass is a cutting-edge marine navigation solution designed to provide precise heading and rate-of-turn data for autopilot, radar, and navigation systems. Built with advanced solid-state sensor technology, it captures data from nine axes of rotation and motion, ensuring superior accuracy and reliability. Whether mounted on the bulkhead or up-mast, this compass delivers high-performance results, even in demanding marine environments.

State-of-the-Art Sensor Technology

Equipped with a solid-state sensor, the Precision-9 Compass offers exceptional heading accuracy of ±2° after calibration. It continuously measures roll, pitch, and rate of turn, making it an essential component for enhancing navigation and control systems on any vessel.

Seamless Integration with NMEA 2000®

With a single NMEA 2000® connection, the Simrad Precision-9 Compass ensures a hassle-free installation process. Its automatic user-prompted calibration further simplifies setup, allowing boat operators to get up and running quickly.

Rugged and Marine-Ready Design

Engineered for durability, the Precision-9 Compass is rated IPX7 waterproof, providing robust protection against harsh marine conditions. Designed for long-term reliability, it operates efficiently across a wide temperature range, from -25°C to +65°C (-13°F to +149°F).
