Digital Yacht GPS160 NMEA 2000
We are pleased to introduce the GPS160. This is a new high-performance positioning sensor with GPS, Galileo and Glonass satellite systems for exceptional positioning accuracy and redundancy.
TriNav technology enables the simultaneous use of all three systems for navigation. In addition, the device can be programmed for a wide range of modes such as individual GNSS operations (e.g. Galileo) as well as on-site output configurations. The latter includes the update rate, NMEA sentence structure, etc.
The GPS160 GPS Antenna NMEA 2000 version includes the Digital Yacht iKonvert NMEA 2000 Gateway. This enables simple and flexible NMEA 2000 installation without requiring cumbersome drop cables. In addition, a simple and thin 10m cable makes the connection from the GPS160 to the nearest point on the NMEA 2000 backbone for the iKonvert easier.
In addition, the GPS160 supports an external MOB switch or external device. When activated, a “synthesized” AIS SART MOB message is created at the NMEA output, with MOB identification on a local plotter.
The GPS160 supports GPS, Glonass and Galileo positioning. We use TriNav technology to combine signals from all three systems. This makes it possible to calculate the best possible fix accuracy and reliability.
To make connecting the GPS160 to your navigation system easier, we have compiled a list of wiring diagrams for you. You can choose from many different systems from all common brands to obtain the wiring diagram for your device with our GPS160.
Galileo
Galileo is the new global satellite positioning system (GNSS) developed by the EU over the last two decades. It complements the GPS and GLONASS systems and offers mariners a third reliable source for position determination.
There are currently 22 functional satellites (which are operational and contribute to providing the service), 2 satellites are in “test” mode, and 2 more are marked as unavailable. The final system is expected to be deployed by 2024 and will comprise 30 satellites (24 operational and 6 spare satellites).
October 2023 – New features: All GPS160 models are now equipped with a new GNSS module compatible with QuadNav technology. These models are compatible with the Chinese Beidou satellites (as well as GPS, Glonas and Galileo), which means that all calculations of position, course and speed now use the strongest satellite signals from a network of more than 100 satellites. This improves time to first fix, performance against interference, spoofing and interruptions, as well as power consumption (<25 mA).
Features:
- GPS Antenna NMEA 2000 for boats
- 72-channel GNSS position receiver for GPS, GLONASS, Beidou and Galileo with 72 channels
- Typically under 1m accuracy thanks to QuadNav™ technology – combines all satellite data for optimum accuracy
- Can be configured as a dedicated GPS, Glonass, Beidou or Galileo device
- Supplied with iKonvert (NMEA2000-NMEA0183 converter) for simple and flexible NMEA 2000 installation
- 10m cable
- Sophisticated anti-spoofing algorithm for robust positioning performance and interference rejection
- Up to 18Hz update rate (user selectable)
- Ultra-low power consumption at 12V DC
- Input for MOB switch/system – when activated, generates synthesized AIS MOB NMEA output to activate the MOB position on the plotter
- Professional system support (ECDIS) with reference sentence structure (DTM/GBS/GNS/GRS/GSA/GST)
- Puck installation or suitable for 3rd-party industry-standard 1″ x 14TPI threaded mount
