The 3-Space™ Watertight provides 10-DOF inertial measurement capabilities in an IP68-rated cast aluminum housing for maritime and outdoor installations. It is ideal for unmanned vehicle navigation, robotic stabilization, motion monitoring, and impact measurement.
Dual auto-selecting accelerometers span low-range motion and high-range events up to ±320g. QGRAD3 and selectable Extended Kalman filtering deliver update rates up to 2,000 Hz. The integrated World Magnetic Model supplies tilt-compensated heading referenced to true, magnetic, or grid north.
The housing provides screwdown or strapdown mounting and a locking watertight connector. USB is available on both versions, alongside 3.3V UART on the HU1 or RS232 on the HU2. Required compatible cables are sold separately in standard 2-meter and 4-meter lengths, with custom lengths available on request.
