KW950E Digital Heading Repeater

Whenever a DIGITAL HEADING REPEATER with RATE OF TURN INDICATOR is called for think of the KW950.

The KW950 outputs NMEA 0183 and is therefore ideal as a gyro interface.

Points to note are that it will interface gyros that competitors can not interface. The simplicity of the KW950 makes it very LOW COST. All the connections use PLUGGABLE terminal blocks. They lift off to ease wiring. Cable entry via glands.

The DIN case is the industry standard, with a lip for panel mounting,

The data output options make the KW950 ideal for survey use, and ECDIS interfacing.
