Discontinued Autopilot Support

The most flexible NX2 instrument. With over 40 different fuctions which are presented on 4 pages (digits are 15% larger then classic Nexus) from the server; the Multi Control can display the functions needed whether Navigating, Sail Racing, Fishing or just having FUN. The unique "Copy and Paste" function in the Multi Control Display will allow for a customized display of the information you need. Every Multi Control runs on the bus independently of each other allowing for uninterrupted data flow. You will not need dedicated displays to get the data you need. The Multi-Control and Server is included in the three start packages.

In addition to the Starter Package choice, feel free, to add as many displays as you need. It really is up to your personal preference as to how you customize your system.

NX2 Multi Control also comes as a full functional Remote. This small hand held remote is capable of controlling the NX2 Network System and the NX2 Autopilot.

The XLR instrument is the all-new mast instrument designed by Nexus specifically for the NXR instrumentation system. The result of a long process of customer consultation the XLR features 63.5 mm (2.5 inch) digits, which have been proven as the ideal size for large racing yachts. Their first class readability is further enhanced by their crisp presentation. Fully programmable from the navigation workstation, the XLR displays incorporate a host of new features designed to maximize their utility to the Grand Prix racing crew.

These stylish and rugged displays are nitrogen filled and fully waterproof, capable of withstanding extended, open ocean conditions. Despite their size they weigh just 300 g each.

Features:

• Inverted LCD with high light output makes the display easy to read at night without any risk of loss of night sight
• Choice of red or green background light separates instruments and allows crew to differentiate key datasets
• Option of two colours for frames – graphite grey and light grey. Allows owner to select a colour scheme that best suits his boat's overall design
• Easy-to-read lead text ensures that viewers recognize which function is displayed, avoiding potentially costly mistakes
• Multilanguage options for lead text

The Server is the heart of all systems. It's here that the information from the transducer is collected; stored and all complex navigation functions are performed.

While the Server is a marvel in miniature it is also an intelligent connection box where all the transducers and instruments are connected. With it, you can connect other compatible units, regardless of make, via the TWO NMEA ports.

The steer pilot is a highly innovative instrument that has proven its value out on the racecourse many times since it was first introduced as part of the NX2 system in 2005. Put in simple terms, this invaluable instrument continuously displays to the helmsman the direction in which he should be steering in order to reach a given point in the fastest and most efficient way. It does this by combining data from the compass, speed transducer and GPS and when required analyses it against a boat's technical specification, most commonly the polars, to determine the best route. When the helmsman deviates from that route the needle instantly moves away from the centre line, indicating in the clearest way possible the direction and extent of that deviation. The system updates five times per second, ensuring that there is no time lag between the error occurring and the information being transmitted to the helmsman. Using the NXR steer pilot quickly becomes second nature to the helmsman, and will hold his concentration for extended periods without becoming tiring or straining his vision. Meanwhile the navigator can update the parameters at the navigation workstation at any time and the new optimum course will instantly be indicated on the instrument without any need for the verbal transmission of complex instructions. As well as indicating the fastest point of sailing, the steer pilot can also be programmed to indicate:

• Deviation from a compass course
• Deviation from a pre determined apparent wind angle
• Course to waypoint, with or without compensation for drift

Features:

• Deviation from a compass course
• Deviation from a pre determined apparent wind angle
• Course to waypoint, with or without compensation for drift
• Indicates the fastest point of sailing
• Deviation from Optimum Course (from Polar tables)

The HPC Compass uses the latest materials and precision engineering techniques to give an accuracy of +/- 1° to a maximum heel of 60°. It features a 6-axis configuration that also incorporates heel and pitch, giving exceptional results for data such as apparent wind angle, true wind angle and the true wind direction even when the boat is at a substantial angle of heel. The HPC Compass comes with a Nexus network bus port and an NMEA 0183 output port.

The ultrasonic speed sensor makes cutting edge, high technology speed sensing affordable. Instead of a paddlewheel, it uses two transducers mounted in one compact housing to detect particles in the water and calculates speed based on their distance apart. The transducer reacts instantaneously to changes in boat speed.

The GPS Navigator is one of the most versatile navigators on the market. Capable of storing up to 399 waypoints and 25 routes, it can be used either as a standalone unit or integrated into the NEXUS Network. The instrument and antenna are also available seperately. An important feature is the ability of the NEXUS GPS Navigator to communicate with other navigators via its NMEA input/output, allowing it to be used either as a repeater navigator or as a navigator in a system with other NMEA compatible Loran/Decca GPS navigators. The GPS Navigator is simple to use and can be installed above and/or below deck.

Two unique features of this instrument:

1. You may use two or more instruments in a Network with a common waypoint bank, which allows you to create, edit or select waypoints at any location.
2. Unique integration with digital NMEA chart plotters. The GPS Navigator is able to provide the plotter with information of position, COG, SOG etc. and may still be able to repeat navigational data (BTW, DTW, XTE etc.) calculated by the NMEA plotter (the WP bank in the NMEA plotter is used).

Wind Instrument

The NX Wind Instrument brings a new layer of functionality to the NX instrumentation system, allowing both the digital and analog display of wind data on a single unit. In large, clear digits the Wind Instrument displays apparent wind speed and angle, and true wind speed and angle as calculated by the WSI, while at the same time showing the same information in analog format for instant appraisal by helmsman and navigator. Stylishly designed and built to withstand the toughest marine environments, the Wind Instrument enables the Nexus NX to demonstrate its full potential as a versatile capable instrumentation system.

WSI Connection Box

The Wireless Server Interface (WSI) Connection Box forms the core of the NX instrumentation system; the central point at which all the data collected from the transducers is processed and then sent down a single cable to the Sea Data and, if installed, Wind Instrument displays. Among its many functions, the WSI combines boat speed and apparent wind speed & angle, to calculate the true wind speed & angle. The WSI communicates directly with the wireless Wind Transducer via a unique radio pairing, and the slim and compact box is quick and simple to install.

Wireless Wind Transducer

The twin-fin wireless wind transducer brings all the advantages of wireless instrumentation to the cruising sailor. Gone are the complications and aesthetic issues of running wiring from the top of the mast down to the chart table. Instead, the wind transducer establishes a unique pairing using radio with the WSI connection box that forms the core of the NX instrumentation system, ensuring that each transducer / server pairing is distinct from every other. The information is then fed from the WSI connection box to both the NX Sea Data and Wind Instrument.

The twin fin design makes this a highly stable and accurate wind transducer. The internal batteries are continuously charged by a small solar panel mounted on the transducer arm, have a life of around three to four years, and are easily replaced.

It's totally different!

With the New NX2 Wind Data display, view up to 5 individual data references at one time. Nexus incorporates a large Digalogue^TM fan to represent the boat's apparent wind angle while the single blade below will always show true wind angle.

The NX2 analog Wind angle instrument displays true or apparent wind angle. Fields are clearly marked in red and green allowing for superior readbility, especially during night navigation. The scale and display is illuminated.

The NX2 GPS Speed repeaters give easy on the eye readings of boat speed. Two scales are available: 0-16 knots for sailboats, 0-50 knots for power boats.

Together with Nexus Autopilot, a rudder position instrument can be used to give precise information about the rudder angle. A great benefit, for sail racing and manoeuvring in harbors.

The Silva NX2 analog Compass repeater and compass heading displays have superb readability. A sensitive pointer on the 360° scale gives an accurate and stable compass heading.

The Depth instrument gives an easy to read display, of the true depth in metres or feet. The logarithmic scales show shallower sections more clearly: NX2 Depth 0-600 ft.

The NX2 analog Speed Trim instrument, displays the difference in speed since last trimming. It can be operated froma Remote Control instrument, Wind Data or the Multi Center. The analog display gives you fast, accurate and easily readable information about the trends and performances of the following speeds [in %]:

• Monitor the change in boat speed
• Monitor the change in speed over ground
• Monitor the change in VMG
• Monitor the change in speed towards a waypoint
• Monitor the change of true wind speed
• Monitor the change ofapparent wind speed
• Monitor the change of speed of current
• Monitor the change of target boat speed

Target boat speed must be calculated and transmitted from a PC. The PC transmits via the NMEA to the server which in turn sends the information further to instruments on the Nexus Network.

This instrument relays the NX2 server calculations to the system, enabling you to quickly and easily set an exact course to steer towards your goal. You can select from several settings:

• Compass steering
• Wind steering
• Apparent wind angle for wind shifts
• Waypoint steering
• Bearing to waypoint (BTW)
• Course to steer (CTS) including Set and Drift

NX2 GPS Course displays heading over ground from a GPS receiver, allowing for superior readability and heading presentation. A sensitive 360° needle gives you an accurate and stable compass heading.
