The Universal Digital Repeater is available as a console version and in a watertight housing with bracket attachment. Type approved in accordance with the EC Council Directive 96/98/EC.

Back-Up Heading Function

Northrop_grumman_magnetic_compass_3

A Jupiter magnetic compass with a flux-gate pick-off, combined with a NAVITWIN III Compass Monitor, provides an ideal independent back-up heading source in gyrocompass systems for distribution to autopilots, repeaters, radars and other peripheral appliances.

Single Heading Reference Source (TMC)

Northrop_grumman_magnetic_compass_4

Configured with a NAVITWIN III Compass Monitor, a Jupiter magnetic compass with a flux-gate pick-off will provide an accurate heading source for autopilots and repeaters for the smaller vessel.
