Garmin GMU 11 Magnetometer 010-01788-01 FAA-PMA

Description

Digital 3-axis Magnetometer Heading SensorSmall, lightweight, cost-effective source of magnetic heading referenceProvides accurate 3-axis sensing of the Earth’s magnetic field for use by Air Data, Attitude Heading Reference System (ADAHRS) to determine aircraft headingIntegrates with G3X™, G3X Touch™ and G5 series electronic flight displaysUsable for both experimental and certificated aircraft installations with the G5 electronic instrument serving as DG/HSI and/or attitude indicatorInstalls easily; mountable in 4 cardinal compass directionsGMU 11 is an affordable, microprocessor-based magnetometer. It can be used to accurately sense the Earth’s magnetic field alignment and provide this data to compatible ADAHRS processors for use in referencing aircraft magnetic heading. In essence, the magnetometer acts as an electronic compass, showing the ADAHRS which direction the aircraft is facing in relation to magnetic north.Unlike conventional flux valve systems, which detect only the horizontal component of the Earth’s magnetic field, the GMU 11 magnetometer provides full 3-axis vector measurements for the most precise digital indication of magnetic field strength and direction.
