definitions
Term
Definition
Activation
Activation refers to a feature added through a one-
time purchase.

Product Overview
Product
overview
The V200s Vector™ GNSS Compass supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo,
BeiDou, and QZSS satellites using Hemisphere GNSS’ Crescent Vector
H220™ GNSS module. This User Guide is available for download from
www.HGNSS.com.
Note: When referring to both the V200s Vector™ GNSS Compass, this
manual uses the term V200s.
The multi-GNSS V200s supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and
QZSS and offers an amazing world-wide 30 cm (RMS) accuracy via
Hemisphere’s Atlas GNSS global correction service.
The V200s offers an incredible combination of simple installation, small
form factor, and amazing performance. The compass - measuring only 35
cm in length - mounts easily to a flat surface or pole. The stability and
maintenance-free design of the V200s provides simple integration into
autopilots, chart plotters, and AIS systems.
There are no mechanical parts such as gimbals or a rotating motor, so the
V200s Compass is free from routine maintenance. Heading is determined
from GNSS, and there is no need to wait for settling time, gyrocompass
calibration and speed corrections. Vector performance is not affected by
geomagnetism, making it the perfect solution for any marine application.
The V200s is an integrated system that houses the following:
•Crescent Vector H220 module
•Dual mGNSS, multipath-resistant antennas
•Power supply
•Six-axis sensor
The sensor is present to improve system performance and to provide
backup heading information in the event a GNSS heading is not available
due to signal blockage. The sensor provides a substitute heading,
accurate to within 1º per minute for up to three minutes.

Product Overview, Continued
Product
overview,

The V200s’s GPS antennas are separated by 20 cm between phase
centers, resulting in a heading performance of better than 0.75° RMS
(with High Accuracy Heading activated). The V200s can provide heading
and positioning updates of up to 50 Hz and delivers positioning accuracy
of 0.6 m 95% of the time when using differential GPS corrections from
Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) or Atlas.
The V200s also features Hemisphere GNSS’ exclusive Tracer™ technology,
which provides consistent performance with correction data. The V200s
is less likely to be affected by differential signal outages due to signal
blockages, weak signals, or interference when using Tracer.
If you are new to GNSS and SBAS, refer to the Hemisphere GNSS
Technical Reference Manual (for further information on these services
and technologies before proceeding.

Atlas L-band
Atlas L-band is Hemisphere's industry leading correction service, which
can be added to the V200s as a subscription. Atlas L-band has the
following benefits:
•Positioning accuracy - Competitive positioning accuracies down to 30
cm RMS in certain applications
•Positioning sustainability - Cutting edge position quality maintenance
in the absence of correction signals, using Hemisphere’s patented
technology
