NF1000 Strapdown MEMS North Seeking Gyrocompass / Azimuth Finder IMU, 200Hz RS422

The NF1000 MEMS inertial north finder is a strapdown north finding solution composed of high-performance MEMS gyroscope and MEMS accelerometer, which can directly measure wellbore inclination angle and tool face angle. The three-axis MEMS gyroscope is sensitive to the angular motion of the carrier, and the three-axis MEMS accelerometer is sensitive to the linear acceleration of the carrier. The module internally compensates for the zero position, scale factor, non-orthogonal error, and acceleration related terms of all temperature parameters, which can maintain high measurement accuracy for a long time.

FAQ

Q1.What is NF1000 and what does it do?
A: NF1000 is a strapdown MEMS inertial north finder (3-axis gyro + 3-axis accelerometer). After power-on it performs alignment and outputs heading/azimuth plus attitude (pitch/roll), and can also output IMU angular-rate and acceleration data for navigation and orientation tasks.
 
Q2.What applications is it designed for?
A: Typical uses include underground/mining orientation, petroleum inclinometer & north seeking, pipeline measurement, underwater navigation, and other complex environments where magnetic compasses struggle.
 
Q3. What north-finding accuracy can I expect?
A: North-finding accuracy is specified as 1 sec × L (L = latitude) (1σ). Heading/attitude maintenance and tracking accuracy specs are also provided in the performance table.
