MAGNETIC COMPASS WITH REMOTE TELEMETRIC TRANSFER OF COURSE SCALE IMAGE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01C17/00 

FIELD: instrument making.

SUBSTANCE: magnetic compass with remote telemetric transfer of course scale image comprises a pot, inside which there is a magnetic-sensitive element with a scale on a support and an index. The pot is installed on a gimbal suspension in a binnacle and is equipped with a direction-finder. The compass is equipped with a video camera, a monitor and a lighting fixture. The compass scale is double-sided. At the upper side the scale is calibrated clockwise and has direct reflection, and at the lower side - as counterclockwise and has mirror reflection. The video signal of the scale image at the bottom is sent to the monitor's input via an inverter.

EFFECT: improved operational properties of a device, higher accuracy of course scale image transfer in case of rolling, provision of simultaneous operation with the direction finder without violation of course scale image transmission, increased transmission line, along which the course scale image is transmitted from the pot to the monitor's screen.
