The Network COMPASS unit uses the latest advances in electronics to display
Off Course, Cross Track Error (XTE)*, Rudder* and Head/Lift information on an
easy to read Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). Five keys on the unit select the
displayed data, calibration factors and alarms.
It can operate as a standalone unit compass display or as part of an Integrated
B&G Network Instrument System. The unit can also operate as a repeater of
course data received via the Network. These connections plug directly into the
rear of the display.
The Network COMPASS includes two adjustable alarms:
•
Off course alarm
•
Head
alarm
An internal alarm buzzer will sound and the display will flash when the alarm
condition is met. Other Network instruments will also sound their alarms and
flash their displays.
Additionally a racing timer with alarm signals at set intervals is included in the
unit.
* These functions will only appear if the relevant sensors i.e. GPS or PILOT are
in the system
