DATASHEETTrimble Marine BX992

GNSS HEADING RECEIVER

The Trimble® Marine BX992 GNSS Heading Receiver is a dual-antenna GNSS receiver offering precise
heading capability and and multi-frequency support for all known constellations. Additionally, withsupport for MSS L-Band, Marinestar or RTX services, the BX992 delivers position without the use of abase station.

GNSS AND PRECISE HEADINGTaking advantage of Trimble’s expertise inGNSS, the Marine BX992 has been designed forapplications requiring continuous centimeter
accuracy and heading in a compact package.

MORE THAN JUST A
GNSS RECEIVERKey Features►► Flexible RS232, USB and Ethernet

interfacing, allowing high speed datatransfer and configuration via standard
web browsers

The Marine BX992 utilizes the latest in precision
GNSS technology from Trimble in a compact
package of robust navigation solution, including:►► Scalable configurations allowing up toTRIMBLE MAXWELL™ 7
TECHNOLOGY►► High update rate position and orientation►► Environmentally sealed IP67 with►► Dual-antenna for rapid heading alignment

enclosure built to withstand harshenvironments

The Marine BX992 comes standard withGPS, QZSS and GLONASS loaded with 30/30accuracy limit. As the number of satellites in theconstellations grows, the Marine BX992 is readyto take advantage of the additional signals. Thisdelivers the quickest and most reliable RTK
initializations for precise positioning.

►► Robust Moving Baseline RTK for precision►► Small form factor makes it ideal forFor applications that do not require centimeter
accuracy, the Marine BX992 integrated GNSSInertial engine also delivers high accuracy
GNSS, DGNSS positions in the most challenging
environments such as urban canyons.
With the latest Trimble Maxwell 7
Technology, the Marine BX992 provides:►► 2 x 336 Tracking Channels►► Trimble Everest Plus multipath mitigation►► Advanced RF Spectrum Monitoring andAnalysis►► Proven low-elevation tracking technology

With the option of utilizing Marinestar or RTX
services, the Marine BX992 delivers varying
levels of performance down to centimeter level
without the use of a base station*.

FLEXIBLE INTERFACING
The Marine BX992 was designed for easy
integration and rugged dependability.
Customers benefit from the Ethernet
connectivity available on the board. USB andRS-232 are also supported. Just like otherTrimble embedded technologies, easy touse software commands simplify integration
and reduce development times. The Marine
BX992 makes use of existing cables andpower supplies used for other SPS and MPS
GNSS receivers.

Applications
Hydrographic surveying
Due to its compact size and precise heading capability, the Marine BX992
is a reliable and easy to use tool for hydrographic surveying. Not only it has
simple User Interface (UI), but it is also durable and accurate (~1 cm, RTK;
heading: better than 0.09° on short antenna baselines).

Unmanned surface vehicle (USV)The Marine BX992 supports all known constellations as well as MSS
L-Band RTX and Marinestar corrections. Additionally, its small form-factor
makes it ideal for use on lightweight unmanned surface vessels.

Marine Construction
The Marine BX992 provides precise (.09°) RTK heading and positional
accuracy to within 1-2 cm. Additionally, it tracks tugboats location <1m,heading accuracy to 0.75° transmitted over NMEA via radio. It also offers
TMC dredge system integration option.*

Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP)
Monitor water currents through inland waterways. When using a second
antenna, get precise heading to 0.09° on short antenna baselines.
The Marine BX992 also provides standard 30/30 accuracy andL-Band corrections.

* Requires an ethernet switch when using SNM941 for internet connectivity
