Advantages:
No speed transducer
required.
No extra hole in your boat.
No cleaning of the
paddle-wheel.
Gives speed over the ground.
Unaffected by currents.
More reliable than a
paddle-wheel.
More accurate than a
paddle-wheel.
Less expensive than a
transducer
No adjustment necessary with
most of the speed logs. Can also be used without speed
log using the analogical output to connect a repeater.
With the GPS NMEA to analog paddle-wheel signal
converter GPLS012 you no longer use any through-hull
transducer with your speed log. The device reads your
speed over ground from the GPRMC NMEA sentence sent by
the GPS. It creates a pulsed signal identical to that of
a transducer and transmits it to the speed log or the
navstation . All the functions of the speed log are
available. More the speed log displays now the speed and
distance over the ground which is more accurate than the
water speed.
If you only need to display the speed over ground of
the boat on a repeater, you do not even need to have a
speed log device. You can connect directly an analog
repeater (digital or hand) to the GPLS012 to obtain a
display of the speed anywhere on the boat.
Note:
For professional ships,
this device is also available with
200PPNM output. More info.
