Product Specification: KONGSBERG MRU-E-JB3 Motion Reference Unit
KONGSBERG MRU-E-JB3 is a fifth-generation motion reference unit (MRU) designed for marine applications, providing high-precision measurements of roll, pitch, and heave motion. It is optimized for challenging environments, including offshore operations, dynamic positioning systems, and helicopter deck monitoring.
1. Product Description
The MRU-E-JB3 is a compact, rugged sensor that combines solid-state MEMS gyroscopes and accelerometers to deliver real-time motion data. Key features include:
3-Axis Motion Tracking: Measures roll, pitch, and heave with exceptional accuracy.
Wide Temperature Range: Operates in ambient temperatures from -25°C to +70°C, suitable for extreme marine conditions.
Helideck Monitoring: Complies with Helicopter Capability Assessment (HCA) requirements, calculating Motion Severity Index (MSI) for safe helicopter operations.
Phase-Free Heave: Uses pFreeHeave algorithm for delayed heave measurements, critical for applications like seabed mapping.
