IP67 Rugged Marine GPS Systems

ISGPS-301

The i-Submerge ISGPS-301 GPS is a rugged and easy to use GPS with integrated compass, orientation and pressure sensors, designed for use within the marine environment.

Rugged and Waterproof (IP67)

The ISGPS-301 is waterproof and dustproof, rated to IP67, and specifically designed for use in marine conditions, especially small boats. It is supplied with i-Submerge MPSI (Multi Protocol Sensor Interface) which provides a driverless USB interface (HID & CDC), TTL serial interface and digital timing outputs via IP68 rated connectors and cables.

The GPS unit is mounted using a standard GPS 1″ threaded mount which is compatible with common marine GPS mounts and the RAM™ range of mounting hardware.

Reliable & Accurate GPS Engine

The ISGPS-301 contains an industry standard u-blox GPS receiver. This GPS receiver features industry leading sensitivity, excellent positional accuracy, the ability to concurrently track up to 72 satellites from multiple constellations (GPS, GLONASS & BeiDou) and a high position update frequency (10-18Hz).

The additional integrated sensor provides an unprecedented range of additional data via the compass, orientation (including gyroscope & accelerometers) and pressure sensors. The availability of the output of digital timing outputs allows of the synchronisation of multiple additional sensors to the GPS position data.

USB or Serial Interface

The ISGPS-301 may be supplied with either a USB or TTL Serial cable. The connector is fully IP68 rated, both when connected and disconnected. Additionally, the connectors are threaded and will not pull loose while in use.

The device is supplied with Windows-based software to perform configuration and undertake basic logging of the GPS and sensor data. The USB interfaces are driverless install, so it is a true plug-and-play device. Additionally, a .NET API will be made available to allow for easy integration of the device into your own custom applications.
