NX2 instrumentation
Racing and cruising now have one thing in common – precise information
While analogue instruments continue to play a vital role in navigation, due to the immediate impact they have on the
visual senses, the majority of today’s sailors rely on digital displays for their essential information. Only digital can
supply the level of precision needed to monitor minute changes in important variables, often down to as little as one
hundredth of a unit.
The Nexus NX2 system takes this advantage a stage further by linking all its digital instruments with a network. The
benefit is that when new settings are keyed into one digital instrument, all the other instruments on the network
receive the information simultaneously. This is an especially handy when a sailor wants to add trim values, activate
lighting, clear the trip metre or calibrate instruments.
Another important advantage is the ability to manage waypoints. You can enter or select waypoints from anywhere
onboard - at the wheel or helm, at the navigation table or on the fly-bridge.
Optimal function, readability and quality
The network has been designed to connect three groups of core components in the most effective way. The NX2
Range offers both digital and analogue instruments, a server and five different categories of transducer (log-temp/
depth/wind/compass/GPS).
NX2 System and FDX
NEXUS is the Latin word for “connection” summing up exactly what the
NEXUS network is all about. The NX2 system allows full interfacing with
other third party equipment, which is NMEA compatible, allowing a fully
integrated system giving the user a vast array of information on three
types of displays - the standard LCD, Analogue or large digit XL displays.
NX2 systems are supplied with FDX software (Fast Data eXchange)
opening the door to laptop convenience. FDX, together with the Nexus
race software, increases the speed at which the information flows through
the network by up to 10 times. FDX extends the frontiers of sailboat
racing.
Nexus Race Software also revolutionises the way calibration is done within
the system. Now, from the laptop, you can adjust settings, calibrate and
auto-deviate the compass. Difficulties in calibrating wind speed and wind
angles become a thing of the past – the unique Nexus software does the
job for you.
So if you are a cruising or racing yachtsmen who requires integration with
computers, chart plotters or other equipment the NX2 system allows
you to build a system with a range of displays which is perfect for your
requirements.
Nexus Server
The Nexus Server functions as a terminal station for the Nexus Network to
which all transducers, NMEA input and output are connected. Furthermore,
the Server has outputs for external M.O.B. (Man Over Board) and trim
buttons and an external alarm. All screw terminals are clearly marked for easy
installation. The NX2 unique plug wiring system enables a tidy and clean
installation below deck with no excess cables.
