Nexus NX Wireless Wind Instrument

Description

Nexus Wind Instrument

The NX Wireless Wind Instrument brings a new layer of functionality to the NX instrumentation system, allowing both the digital and analogue display of wind data on a single unit. In large, clear digits the Wind Instrument displays true wind speed and angle, and apparent wind speed and angle, while at the same time showing the same information in analogue 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 and capable instrumentation system.

Technical Specifications:

• Voltage: 10-16V
• Current consumption: 9mA
• Dimensions: 113x113mm
• Weight: 260g
• Nexus Network: yes

The twin tail 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 via radio with the WSI connection box that forms the core of the NX instrumentation system, ensuring that each system is distinct from every other. The information can then feed from the WSI connection box to both the NX Sea Data and Wind Instrument. The twin tail design makes this a highly stable and accurate wind transducer.

Batteries in the transducer are continuously recharged by a small solar panel mounted on the transducer arm.

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 displays. Among its many functions, the WSI combines boat speed and apparent wind speed & angle, to calculate the true wind speed & angle.
