NX2 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 u d 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 five 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 NX2 instruments carry a two year warranty, which gives you as our

customer, confidence to trust NX2 and our commitment to quality.

To get the most out of your new NX2 product, please read through this manual

carefully before you start your installation.

Again, thank you for choosing NX2. If you see us at a show, stop by and say hello.

− Do not cut the cables too short. Allow extra cable length at the Server so it

can be disconnected for inspection without having to disconnect all

attached cables.

− Do not place sealant behind the display. The instrument gasket eliminates

the need for sealant.

− Do not run cables in the bilge, where water can appear.

− Do not run cables close to fluorescent light sources, engine or radio

transmitting equipment to avoid electrical disturbances.

− Do not rush, take your time. A neat installation is easy to do.

• The following material is needed:

Wire cutters and strippers.

Small and large Philips and small flat head screw driver.

2.1 Installing the instrument

• Place the adhesive drill template on the desired location for the instrument. Drill the

2 holes using a 5 mm (1/4") drill for the two pin bolts. Use a 63 mm (2½") hole saw to

machine the clearance hole for the instrument connection socket. Remove the

template.

• Screw the two pin bolts

• Put the instrument in place

• Screw the two nuts from the back

Note! The two nuts must just be tighten by hand

• Run the Nexus Network cable from the Server

to the instrument.

• If you want to cut the Nexus Network cable to

length, disconnect 4-pole jack plug and cut

the cable. Peel off about 35 mm (1,4") of the

cable insulation. Remove about 6 mm (1/4")

from the 3 isolated wires (the 4th wire is an

earth / screen). Attach the 4 cable protectors

to the wires using a pair of flat pliers.

• Connect the 4 cable protectors to the 4-pole

jack plug as shown. Apply silicon paste on all

3.2 Re-initialising the instrument

If two instruments by mistake have the same ID number, this can

cause disturbance and block the information on the Nexus data

bus.

To re-initialise the instrument, press CLEAR during the power up

sequence when version and ID numbers are displayed.

The display self test is then re-started on all instruments and you

will be asked to press KEY on each instrument as explained

above.

• Which instrument is navigating? By the term navigating, we

mean the active instrument in which the waypoint memory is

used for navigation to calculate the navigation data, ie BTW,

9.3 Tactical function

This function requires a compass transducer and displays course memory. One for

To fully use the tactical function it is recommended to install the optional trim button

(Art. No. 19763) and analogue steer pilot instrument (Art. No 22115-02). The trim

button is usually installed close to the steering position. Many prefer to install one trim

button on each side of the boat, that is one for each tack. (For installation of trim

button, see Server manual). Your apparent tack angle is assumed to be constant, in

that your magnetic heading will be changed compared to the wind, that is you will be

changing your heading due to the wind shifts.

The tactical function will give you a fast and exact information about any wind shift

compared to the magnetic heading.

Select sub-function (TAC).

When you have maximum ”lift”, press SET (or the trim button) to

store the value. When the wind ”heads” more than 5-10* it is time

to tack.

One of the advantages with the Nexus Network is the very fast transmission

speed of data compared to the relatively slow NMEA standard (about 10 times

faster). Therefore 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

apart, that is the slots should be as far away from each other as possible.

In a similar way, you can select the a sentence 4 times to make it 4 times faster.

Example: If you want to transmit the Nexus compass heading via NMEA, to for

example an autopilot, select (HDM) for every odd slot number, C79, C81, C83 ...

C93, that is 8 times which makes the speed 4 times / second. This leaves the

All data (POSITION, BTW, SOG/COG, etc.) is received from one type of NMEA

sentence. If data is placed in different locations, the data will be selected from the

sentence with the highest priority.

Example I: Position is read in priority order: GGA, GLL and. RMC.

Example II: BTW/DTW is priority first with: RMB, BWC and BWR.

The transmission ID (the first two letters after “$”) is ignored by the Server.

Present position is read, after that possible latitude and longitude correction is

added (C39 and C40) before the position is sent over the Nexus Network to all

12.8.1 Baudrate

It is possible to change the baudrate from 4800bps to 19200bps.

To do that, a PC is required. Note 19200 is not to be considered

as NMEA since the standard states 4800. See 12.8.1

a. The Requesting unit is allowed to transmit the message:

"$PSILBPS,19200,R,<CR><LF>"

once every 2s at nominal 4800 bps with normal NMEA start bit and stop bit settings.

This message may be received on any of the two Server ports.

b. The receiving unit (NX2 Server) will Confirm message:

"$PSILBPS,19200,C,<CR><LF>"

and send it back on output ports to the requesting unit.

c. When the requesting unit receives the same message but with the flag set to "C"

(Confirmed), both server ports (A and B) are set to 19200bps and transmission may

start at the new baudrate. The sending unit may now stop sending the proprietary

request message since it has entered the higher baudrate. There is no way back

unless there is a power loss.

From power up, baudrate is always set to 4800 and the above procedure must be

repeated.

The receiving unit (Nexus Server) will always check for the proprietary message when

in normal baudrate, not when in high baudrate.

13.2.1 General

In most cases, the reason for faults in electronic equipment is the

installation or poor connections. Therefore, always first check that:

• Installation and connection is made per instructions for

instrument and transducers, (see Server manual).

• Screw terminals are carefully tightened.

• No corrosion on any connection points.

• No loose ends in the wires causing short cuts to adjacent

wires.

• Cables for damage, that no cables are squeezed or worn.

• Battery voltage is sufficient, should be at least 10V DC.

• The fuse is not blown and the circuit-breaker has not opened.

• The fuse is of the right type.

• Two instruments do not have the same ID number, (see 3.2).

14.2 Nexus Netw

Introduction:

The Nexus data bus is a multi talker multi receiver data bus

specially designed for marine navigation applications. It utilises

the RS485 standard with up to 32 senders and/or receivers to

form a Local Area Network. Data is transmitted synchronously

with 1 start-bit, 8-data-bits, 1 parity-bit, two stop-bits in 9600 baud.

User policy:

The Nexus data bus is open for new users and applications

without a licence or a licence fee. The data bus is, however, the

property of the manufacturer, which means the specification must

be followed in order to protect the manufacturer’s commitments to

the Nexus data bus performance and safety.

For most PC-applications, the full duplex interface (Art. No.

21248), will be a very useful tool for monitoring real time data, to

edit and store waypoints to PC-file or to Server and/or to the NX2

GPS. The interface is supplied with a cable for connection from

PC to the Server or NX2 instruments and/or the NX2 GPS. A 9-

pole D-sub connector is connected to the RS232 port on the PC.
