1. General
Thank You for purchasing our ADPC-101 navigation device. Design and production of
this device are developed in compliance with applicable industrial standards for marine use.
This device is mounted on ships with gyrocompasses and logs not capable to generate
current values in NMEA format for navigation equipment needing course and speed data in
digital form.
Device executes the following functions:
Reception of current course value from gyrocompasses with synchro or stepper
interface;
Reception of current speed value from logs with stepper interface or interface on
“closing” contact;
Indication of current speed and course values in built-in display;
Conversion of received data into NMEA-0183 format;
Transmission of converted course and speed data via standard interface (RS-232 and
RS-422/485 ports) to external devices in NMEA-0183 format.
Operating modes of this device are easily tuned by user-friendly menu options and
widely used symbols on keyboard pads.
