Product Introduction

HEC366 is a high-precision full attitude 3D compass that can provide high-precision heading information within a 360 ° roll and+/-90 ° full tilt range.

HEC366 is specially optimized for applications in the field of petroleum and coal inclinometer, making it very suitable for inclinometer systems. HEC366 can manually or automatically output inclination angle, azimuth angle, and tool face angle information, as well as output current acceleration and magnetic field component size. Users only need to connect HEC366 to the data transmission circuit to form a high-precision inclinometer.

The precise posture of the HEC366 output carrier can be used in systems with full posture rotation. This product comes with hard magnetic, soft magnetic, and tilt compensation, and high-precision measurement values after compass output calibration. HEC366 integrates patented three-axis flux gate technology, which calculates heading in real-time through a central processor and compensates for tilt angle using three-axis accelerometers, enabling accurate heading data even in extremely harsh environments. HEC366 has a small size and low power consumption, and is widely used in many fields such as petroleum logging, antenna pointing, vehicle navigation, attitude systems, etc.
