EML500 series
EML500
Electromagnetic Log

General
The EML500 series electromagnetic log confirms to the
technical requirements for the performance standard
determined by IMO Resolution A824(19) and MSC.96(72) also
meet type approval issued by the Transport Ministry of JG

Certificate number of type approval

- JG : No. 3795
- MED

Features
1) Small size and light weight compared ordinary models.
2) The length of cable between the sensor and the master unit
can be extended maximum 300m by adoption of the
preamplifier built .
3) Full provision of various external interfaces
- Pulse output (Photo coupler / contact)
- Digital signal (NMEA0183)
- Analog signal (0V to 5V DC / 0A to 20mA)
- Alarm contact output and Digital I/F form GPS
4) Reduction in the number of parts by employment of highly
integrated circuits including microprocessor, and has no
moving parts, thereby achieving high reliability.
5) Provision of small size and light weight master indicator for
indication of speed and distance, and can be operated by the
master indicator. Milepost calibration etc., thereby,
installation place of master indicator is not limited.
6) Variety of sensors available to meet various instillation
requirements. A dual-axis sensor can measure not only the
longitudinal, speed but also the transverse speed.
7) Built-in self-diagnostic function.
8) All indicators can be driven by input signal (NMEA0183) from
GPS.
