Position speed and course information is taken from port A the GPShe Server will then pass that information plus all other boatdata to port B where the PC and chart navigation software will calculate BTW DTW and XTE information to the NX2 The NMEA ports have been given different prioritys depending on the type of data that will come into the Server when the same type of data comes on both ports Position and time GPSta GGA GLL GSA GSV RMC ZDA have higher priority on port A Navigational data RMB BWC BWR XTE APA APB WPL BOD WCV e higher priority on port B By using this feature you may use the allow for a GPS plotter to take over navigation witNote A Laptop PC may have a GPS PCMCIA card data However if the same data is coming in on port A where position have a higher priority that data will be used prThis threeport combination proposal will add several advantages The NX2 GPS navigator instrument has its own NMEA port where any GPS may be connected be used as a repeater showing able below deck The the primary navigator the backup or as repeater only any GPS receiver The Nexus GPS Navigator instrument may navigate by use of the internal 400 waypoint memory or repeat data from eitherfrom

received by your NMEA navigator To select the sentence press To lock the selected sentence press One of the advantages with the Nexus Network is the very fast transmission ly slow NMEA standard about 10 times fasterherefore we recommend that you use Nexus instruments and transducers for better accuracy It takes two seconds to transmit all 16 NMEA sentences To double the transmission speed select a NMEA sentence 2 times with 7 slots away from each other as possible In a similar way you can select the a sent If you want to transmit the Nexus compass heading via NMEA to for example an autopilot select HDMery odd slot number C79 C81 C83 C93 that is 8 times which makes the speed 4 times second This leaves the other 8 slots with even numbers C78 C80 C82 C92 free to use for other For connection

service please check the following points and 225 All connected instrument and transducers including their software version numbers 225 Server software version number 225 Nexus Network data bus ID numbers for each instrument displayed at power up321 General In most cases the reason for or poor connections Therefore always first check that 225 Installation and connection is made per instructions for 225 Screw terminals are carefully tightened 225 No corrosion on any connection points 225 No loose ends in the wires causing short cuts to adjacent wires 225 Cables for damage that no cables are squeezed or worn 225 Battery voltage is sufficient should be at least 10V DC 225 The fuse is not blown and the 225 The fuse is of the right type 225 Two instruments do not have t322 Fault action C95 COGF if no navigator is connected The server is equipped with a built in fault finding LED Every turn the paddle wheel When the boat is standing still tIf you remove the transducer and slowly spin the paddle wheel the LED should go on When the boat is running If the LED is constantly on or of check the connections Wind A Wind B Irregular values C94 should be OFF otherwise COG is displayed instead of HDC C75 should be OFF if no Make sure the Auto DEVis done correctly see instrument manual Make sure the transducer is not mounted upside down The transducer cable should face down Make sure transducer is aligned correctly see instrument manualWith a the built in fault finding LED222s you can check that the signals from channel A and B are correct The LED is flashing very fast with 13HZ 13 times per secondwhich is difficult to see but you will se that tantly If one or both LED Irregular values C76 should be OFF if no NMEA wind is connected If inaccurate wind data is received

flashing is very fast which is difficult to see but you will not on constantly If one or both LED are on or of a4 What you should know about digital depth sounders The principle of a depth sounder is that you measure the time it takes for a short The echo changes due to bottom character heavy layers of saltThanks to an advanced signal treatment these variations will normally not get transitory disturbances Below are listed some explanations for disturbances to the mhow it is expressed on the instrument display There is no depth reading on the display Only ed If there are no depth echoes for 3 seconds the display indicates 3 dotted lines until a new echo is received 225 In deep water outside the range of the transducer or the combination of deep water and soft bottom which makes it di225 When the boat is heeling heavily for example when sailing 225 In a propeller stream where air bubbles are created Example when powering astern or when following close behind a power boat 225 Check the connection at the Server Make sure the cable is correct between 225 Internal mount with poor signal penetration due to a too thick hull maximum thickness recommended is 20 30 mmeen transducer and hull The built in fault finding LED is flashing every time a echo is received to the server The second and the LED flaseverything is correct If the LED is constantly off check the connections Or the mounting of the transducer Unstable or erratic readings Can happen in the following cases 225 When going over shoal water with uneven and high bottom vegetation 225 In heavy layers of salt or noticeable ranges of water temperatures 225 In heavily agitated water containing particlesThe bottom of the transducer may be painted with anti fouling for protection against weed growth It is recommended the on what kind of waters you boat in Weed on the transducer can cause either no reading or unstable readings In general when a boat is moored in a harbour with other boats equipment which will result in wrong depth readings 323 Error messages The following error messages can appear on the display Nexus Network is missing check colour coded connections No data received within a given time Range error caused by bad format eg 17260 70 East Remote command that can not be performed No response from or missing navigator Waypoint not defined Functions not allowed in autopilot mode
