Detailed description

The B&G 3D motion sensor is a fundamental component of the H5000 instrumentation system, specifically designed for high-performance racing and cruising sailboats. It provides essential motion data that allows the H5000 processors to correct and refine raw sensor data, delivering unmatched precision for navigation and autopilot operation.

3-axis motion measurement

This sensor accurately measures boat motion across three axes. It transmits real-time yaw rate, pitch rate, and roll rate. From this data, it also calculates heel angle and trim angle. This detailed analysis is crucial as it enables the system to distinguish boat motion from true wind, eliminating errors induced by waves and swell to provide more stable and reliable wind data.

Core integration within the H5000 system

The 3D motion sensor is essential for unlocking the full potential of the Hercules and Performance H5000 processors. Without it, the advanced motion correction algorithms of these central units remain inactive. Its integration significantly improves the responsiveness and reliability of the H5000 autopilot, particularly in rough sea conditions, by allowing it to anticipate boat movements. Connection to the system is straightforward via a standard CAN network, NMEA 2000 compatible, ensuring seamless integration into the B&G ecosystem.

Technical specifications

Designed for the marine environment, the sensor housing is IPx6 certified. It operates within a temperature range of -15°C to +70°C. Its compact dimensions of 131 x 61 x 45 mm and weight of 0.17 kg allow for discreet installation. Power is supplied at 12 V DC (range 9-16 V) with very low consumption of 0.6 W, equivalent to 1 LEN on the NMEA 2000 network.

Expert opinion

Pol CONIN

Digital Manager

« The key to the H5000 correction algorithms »

The 3D motion sensor is the core component that unlocks the full potential of the B&G H5000 Hercules and Performance processors. Without the yaw, roll, and pitch data it provides, the CPU cannot apply its motion correction algorithms, reducing the accuracy of true wind calculations and autopilot performance, especially in rough seas. This is not an accessory but a fundamental component for any competitive sailor or serious navigator investing in an H5000 system. Its integration via NMEA 2000 is straightforward, but its onboard positioning is critical: it must be installed as close as possible to the boat's center of gravity to ensure accurate motion measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the primary purpose of the H5000 3D motion sensor?

The H5000 3D motion sensor is designed to measure boat movements on three axes with high precision. Its data corrects wind information based on roll, pitch, and yaw, providing more stable and accurate wind data for performance sailing and more reliable control of the H5000 autopilot.

Which specific data points does this sensor measure and transmit?

This sensor measures and transmits a complete set of data on the boat's behavior, including:

Yaw rate (speed of rotation around the vertical axis)Pitch rate (speed of rotation around the transverse axis)Roll rate (speed of rotation around the longitudinal axis)Heel angle (angle of heel)Trim angle (angle of pitch)

Is this sensor compatible with all B&G systems?

The 3D motion sensor is specifically designed for seamless integration into the B&G H5000 ecosystem. It is particularly required to enable the advanced motion correction functions of the H5000 Hercules and H5000 Performance processors.

How does the sensor connect to the navigation system?

The sensor connects via a standard CAN network, which is compatible with the NMEA 2000 protocol. It integrates into the main network (backbone) of the H5000 system using Micro-C connectors.

What is the required supply voltage for this sensor?

The H5000 3D motion sensor operates on a nominal 12 V DC supply, accepting a voltage range from 9 V to 16 V.

What is the power consumption of the H5000 3D Motion sensor?

The H5000 3D Motion sensor is powered via the NMEA 2000 network.

What are the dimensions and weight of the sensor?

The sensor housing measures 131 x 61 x 45 mm and weighs 0.17 kg.

Is the 3D motion sensor waterproof?

Yes, the sensor housing is rugged and IPx6 certified, meaning it is protected against powerful water jets from all directions.

What is the operating temperature range of the sensor?

The sensor is designed to operate within a temperature range from -15°C to 70°C.

Are there any precautions to take when installing cables?

Yes, it is important to follow these recommendations:

Avoid sharp bends in cables. Secure all cables firmly to prevent movement. Route data cables away from radar, transmitter, or high-power cables. Ensure water cannot run along cables into connectors.

What safety distance should I maintain from a magnetic compass?

A minimum safety distance of 0.3 metres (1 foot) must be maintained between the sensor and any magnetic compass to prevent interference.

Is the use of this sensor mandatory with an H5000 processor?

Although the H5000 system can operate without it, this sensor is an essential component to unlock the full potential of the H5000 Hercules and Performance processors. Without it, advanced wind correction algorithms linked to boat movements cannot be applied.

How does this sensor improve wind data?

By precisely measuring roll, pitch, and yaw, the sensor enables the H5000 processor to differentiate true wind from wind induced by the boat's movements. The result is a much more stable and accurate true wind data (TWD and TWS), crucial for performance.

Does this sensor improve the performance of the H5000 autopilot?

Yes, significantly. Motion data enables the H5000 autopilot to anticipate and react more precisely to the boat's movements, providing better course-keeping and greater responsiveness, particularly in rough seas.

Can I connect this sensor directly to a B&G display?

No, the 3D motion sensor is designed to send its data to an H5000 processor (CPU) via the NMEA 2000 network. The CPU uses this information to correct data from other sensors before sending it to the displays.

Does the sensor require specific calibration after installation?

The provided documentation does not mention any specific calibration procedure for the 3D motion sensor itself. It integrates with the H5000 system, which manages calibrations for various data (wind, speed, etc.) using the information from this sensor.

Which country is this product from?

According to the provided data, the country of origin for this product is Mexico.

Can this sensor work with a system from another brand than B&G?

This sensor is designed for optimal integration within the B&G H5000 ecosystem. While it communicates over a standard NMEA 2000 network, its advanced features are specifically developed to operate with the H5000 Hercules and Performance processors.

What are Yaw Rate, Pitch Rate and Roll Rate?

These are the technical terms for the boat's rotation speeds around its three axes:

Yaw Rate: Yaw rate, the boat's rotation around its vertical axis (heading change).Pitch Rate: Pitch rate, the bow-to-stern tilting motion.Roll Rate: Roll rate, the port-to-starboard rocking motion.
