The Swedish-based experts in the design and manufacture of
navigational instruments, Nexus Marine, are showcasing their
state-of-the-art racing instrumentation system at this year’s PSP
Southampton Boat Show (Ocean Hall/Nexus Stand: G99). The
high performance and competitively priced NXR System is certain to
stand out from the crowd having been selected by three of this
year’s successful British Rolex Commodore’s Cup teams.
NXR FOR INTEGRATED FLEXIBLE NETWORKING
NXR
provides the ultimate in integrated flexible networking for racing
boats and it doesn’t compromise on the detail as it collects,
analyses and displays a huge range of data. The PC interface allows
the navigator to customise every aspect of the System’s operation
and configure its displays at the touch of a button, as well as
integrating the network with external packages such as tactical
software and data inputs from non-navigational hardware including
load cells on the rig, canting keels and engine sensors.
The multi-control instrument is the primary display in the NXR
System, giving the user access to a comprehensive range of
information, whilst the all-new XLR instrument is a rugged mast
display featuring 2.5” digits, proven to be the ideal size for
large race yachts. The inverted LCD with high light output makes
the display easy to read in the dark with no loss of night
vision.
NEW HPC COMPASS
Nexus has also launched the
HPC (Heel Pitch Compensated) Compass that uses precision
engineering techniques to give the highest quality data readings,
accurate to +/-1° up to a maximum heel angle of 60°. Fully
compatible with the Nexus NX2 and NXR Instrumentation Systems, the
HPC Compass features a 6-axis configuration that also incorporates
heel and pitch, giving exceptional results for vital data such as
true wind angle even when the boat is heeled right over. The
Transducer comes with a network bus and an NMEA 0183 output port,
enabling it to be fully integrated with most modern instrumentation
systems on the market; yet the entire instrument is only the size
of a small mobile ’phone and weighs in at just 40 grams.
The NXR and HPC Compass are just two of our high performance
products, so come and do some number crunching on the Nexus Stand
G99 in the Ocean Hall.
