The interface converts synchro transmission to NMEA 0183
or IEC 61162 data. Applications include VDR and
simplified voyage data recorder s-VDR, SVDR.

SPECIFICATION
INPUT 1: Synchro 40 to 550 Hz. Reference
40 to 220v. Phases 40 to 90 volts. (For DC synchro see model SDC910)
Loading resistors 91K to 270K ohm per phase. 22K reference.
Conversion 12 bits, 0.1 degrees.+/- 0.5 degrees. Conversion rate 40 per
second.
INPUT 2:NMEA 0183 port. 4800 baud.
Gyro option:
Programmed for all NMEA heading sentences input.
Rudder Sensor Angle option: Input a 2nd rudder angle (or rudder
demand)
Wind option: Use a 2nd interface to input speed or direction.
XDR option: A second transducer value can be input.
OUTPUT: 5v CMOS 5 mA via 47 ohms. NMEA
0183, RS422, RS232 compatible.
Data is 4800 baud NMEA 0183 format, plus an Anschutz Coursebus option.
Generally 1 per second. Refer to option list.
Gyro options: $HEHDT, $HEROT, $HCHCC, $HCHDM.
Rudder sensor angle: RSA does not necessarily = actual rudder angle. Output a $ERRSA synchro transducer angle sentence with two values, first the interface's own angle, the second field via the NMEA input port
Wind option: $WIMWV. The interface outputs wind speed OR direction. The other field can be filled by input from the NMEA input port.
XDR option: More than 8 XDR identities, switch selectable. Outputs a $ERXDR synchro transducer angle sentence with two values, first the interface's own angle, the second field taken from the first field entered via the NMEA input port
POWER: 9 to 32 v DC at 0.2 amps.
ENCLOSURE: Duck Egg blue diecast box 222 x 155 x 55 mm for indoor bulkhead mounting.
CABLE ENTRY: Glands for 7 mm diameter cables.
FEATURES: LEDs on data in and out plus bicolour status led. Connections are lift-off terminal blocks.
RATIOS, SCALE OFFSET AND ALIGNMENT:
Synchro is generally assumed 1:1 with a synchro natural zero = 0 degrees,
midships etc. The KW910 may be adjusted for an offset angle by
inserting a correction in the EPROM. The ratio, or calibration scale, can be changed by various
means such as keying a table of 360 values into the EPROM by changing the mathematics of a multiplication.
This allows angle to be translated into rudder angle, for instance.
More precise details are
given in the option table, and an application note is available for engineers familiar with binary and
hexadecimal
programming. ALIGNMENT: For ratios other than 1:1 an optional
extra 4 button keypad is required and may be fitted in the factory at the time of order for a small extra
charge.

NOTES
#01. The fastest update is whenever heading changes. #0B. Rudder sensor angle does not always equal actual rudder angle. #0C. You can use an offset angle then use the translate table.
ranslate table is 360 values described in detail in the handbook. #0B - 0F RSA is dual. Input the second angle via NMEA input port. #1E, 1F. Unused fields are sent as null fields.
