About this manual

The BWSensing SEC290 Series 9-axis attitude electronic compass is an inertial product designed for high-precision roll, pitch, and azimuth measurements in environments with magnetic interference and dynamic motion. It integrates a 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, and 3-axis magnetometer, utilizing an optimized Extended Kalman Filter algorithm to output real-time attitude information. The device is suitable for applications such as unmanned vehicles, marine surveys, underwater navigation, and mechanical control, offering features like dynamic/static measurement, hard/soft magnetic compensation, and a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This manual is written in Chinese.

Frequently asked questions

What are the recommended installation precautions for the SEC290 compass?

Avoid installing the sensor near ferromagnetic substances or strong magnetic fields (e.g., engines, motors, antennas) within 10cm to prevent irreversible accuracy degradation.

When should the SEC290 sensor be calibrated?

It is strongly recommended to perform magnetic calibration after installation and whenever the magnetic environment changes.

What is the expected azimuth accuracy after proper calibration?

If calibrated correctly according to the manual, the azimuth accuracy will be less than 3 degrees (RMS).

What are the available communication interfaces for the SEC290 series?

The series offers RS232, RS485, and TTL interfaces depending on the specific model variant.
