Description
Heave compensation
The JLR-31 and JLR-21 have heave functionality built-in as standard. In rough ocean conditions (with high waves), the GPS compass can correct up and down (attitude), movement. This is especially useful for fish finders and sonars on fishing vessels where high waves are compensated for with 20cm rms accuracy, providing better potential for a profitable catch.
High speed update
The JLR-31 and JLR-21 support Speed Over Ground (SOG) and Course Over Ground (COG). The position, SOG and COG are updated every 200 milliseconds (which is 5 times faster than previous model JLR-30/JLR-20), delivering high accuracy.
JLR-31 and JLR-21 and IMO recommendations
Traditionally, the means used to measure the heading of a ship has been a mechanical gyrocompass and/or a traditional magnetic compass. With the adoption of the new installation requirements in SOLAS-V, all passenger ships and all ships from 300 to 500 GT travelling international routes can now install a new technology directional sensor, the Transmitting Heading Device (THD). JRC’s new JLR-31 and JLR-21, IMO type-approved as both Transmitting Heading Device (THD) and as Satellite Navigator (GPS), suits for the vessels as SOLAS-V required primary heading sensor or primary GPS.
Operation
Display modes
The JLR-31 and JLR-21 incorporates many display modes readily available on a highly visible 5.7 inch LCD display. The display is fully dimmable and the keys are also backlit, making it easy to operate in low-light settings on the bridge.
Simple operation
The compact design of the JLR-31 and JLR-21 incorporate an intuitive interface, providing enhanced ergonomics and user friendliness. The logic of the controls and excellent on-screen menus will greatly shorten most users’ learning period.
Measuring tool
The GPS compass allows calculation of distance and bearing between any two points, supporting Rhumb Lines (RL) for the short legs and Great Circle (GC) for long distance legs. Also, a trip log function comes standard for distance and heading.
CCRP and Anchor watch
The JLR-31 and JLR-21 have CCRP¹ function incorporated, allowing the transfer of CCRP sentences to other onboard equipment and anchor watch alerts the watch officer of possible anchor dragging situations.

Trend graph
The new trend graph display mode shows a history of roll, pitch and heave and SOG as an easy-to-read graphical view. Selections can be made to show maximum or average results.
Antenna design
The processor is built into the antenna. Eliminating alignment between antenna and processor found in separate systems, therefore contributing to an easy setup with less error and significantly reduced installation time. This concept also reduces the installation costs as only a single cable is used between antenna and display unit.
The outer shell of JRC’s new antenna system has a smooth surface. This slippery exterior makes it almost impossible for birds to perch on the domes or for the antennas to be completely covered in snow.
Should something interfere with the coverage, JRC’s proven antenna design incorporates a layer of air that reduces possible blind spots, allowing for a more precise heading than conventional systems.
High speed tracking
The GPS compass has its origins as a direction sensing system, but the JLR-31 and JLR-21 go far beyond that. The JLR-31 and JLR-21 provide an impressive heading accuracy of 0.25° rms (JLR-31)/0.50° rms (JLR-21). Heave accuracy is 20cm rms and roll and pitch for both models is 0.5° rms. The tracking Rate of Turn (ROT) is 45° per second.
