Analog NMEA Converter – ZNC-401 (Synchro, Step)

Analog NMEA Converter, ZNC-401 is a multi Analog Signals Converter. It converts analog signals such as Synchro, Step, Pulse, Voltage and Current to NMEA-0183.
Also ZNC-401 converts most kinds of Gyrocompass, Anemometer, Speed Log, Rudder to NMEA-0183(IEC61162-1).

This is very useful for interfacing between old navigation instruments and VDR, AIS, ECDIS. All information is displayed on the large LCD, and a user can adjust dimming and contrast.

It was designed for considering high accuracy and stabilized temperature for using as core parts of Anemometer, Rudder.
This is a high accuracy and high reliable converter.

NMEA Analog Converter – ZNC-910 (Step-Gyro and Speedlog-Pulse)

★ The Latest Rev. Version ZNC-910C (Oct. 2020) ★
1) Number of Output Ports: 4 port to 6 ports
2) Changeable to requirements(ex. BNWAS Interface for ECDIS)

customizable to customer requirements.

NMEA Analog Converter, ZNC-910 has NMEA-0183 to Step Gyro-compass signal converter, and to Pulse Speed-Log signal converter functions.

Also both ZNC-910 has NMEA-0183 sentence converter functions.

This converter is useful for interfacing between new Gyro-compass (such as Satellite compass without Step/Synchro signal) and many navigation equipment required for Step/Synchro heading signal.

NMEA sentence converter function is that it converts GPS heading to Gyro-compass heading, and GPS speed to Speed-log speed. When an urgent situation (such Gyrocompass or Speed-log troubled) occur, this converter may very useful device for preventing whole navigation system trouble.
