Welcome aboard the Nexus Network!
Thank you for choosing Nexus and welcome to the world of the
Nexus Network.
Through this manual we would like to help you install, operate and
understand your new Nexus Network.
The Server is the ”heart” of your Nexus Network, to which
transducers for speed, depth, heading, wind and navigation (GPS,
Loran or Decca) are connected.
From the Server the single Nexus Network cable transmits power
and data to the instruments, which repeat the information sent
from the Server, or other Nexus transducers.
The Nexus Network is designed with the industry standard RS 485
databus, which allows you to connect up to 32 Nexus instrument
units on the single Nexus Network cable, thereby allowing you the
flexibility to easily develop your system. The Nexus Network is
capable of carrying data 10 times faster than NMEA 0183.
The connection system, with a single 5 mm (1/5") cable and 4-
pole jack plugs with cable protectors, makes the installation easy.
No need to drill big holes and the cable can be cut to exact
lengths. The connections at the Server are colour coded and
marked with a number for easy reference.
Nexus Multi Control is a multi function instrument that displays a
main and a sub-function together. You can easily ”customise” your
favourite combination of functions, by using the unique method to
move, copy and lock a sub-function.
The instruments large display gives you very good viewing
possibilities from any angle, even in bright sunlight. The display
and the four push-buttons have red back lighting which you can
set to three different lighting levels.
A large selection of optional analogue repeaters and accessories
are available. The analogue steer pilot instrument particularly
offers unique functions. When used together with the steer
reference function (AWA), you can actually steer after the wind
and ”expand” the tacking or down wind angle.
These Nexus instruments carry a two year warranty, which gives
you as our customer, confidence to trust Nexus and our
commitment to quality.
To get the most out of your new Nexus product, please read
through this manual carefully before you start your installation.
