KW909-B Best GPS Selector
Product Description
When two or more GPS are fitted, this device selects the “best” for transmission to the electronic chart system, GMDSS, VDR or radar. The KW909 (B) recognises the quality modes of the GPS signals.
If the status of both GPS signals is equal, channel 1 is selected as the priority channel.
Two output options are available, selectable by jumper:
- The KW909 reads in the data from each GPS, and generates its own output message. The interface outputs position, COG, SOG, date and time.
- The KW909 passes through all the data from the selected GPS.
