1.1 Purpose
The ECDIS NX Compact is a stand-alone ECDIS solution. It can be installed as a single
ECDIS system or as a dual ECDIS system which includes a backup ECDIS NX Compact.
The devices consist of a 24 inch panel PC which can be controlled by touch or trackball.
They run an integrated software-controlled navigation system with advanced electronic
chart capabilities including:
• Route planning

The ECDIS enables a navigator to conveniently do all navigational routines which are
currently done on paper charts.
The ECDIS takes information from various shipboard sensors:

•
Automatic Identification System (AIS)

• Positioning devices
• Echo sounders
• Heading sensors

1.2 Standalone and Dual Mode
ECDIS NX Compact can be set up with a single unit in standalone mode or with 2 units in
dual mode. In dual mode, one unit is set up as master unit and one as backup unit. The
standalone unit and the master unit in dual mode are configured the same way.
To use ECDIS NX Compact for Track Control, dual mode configuration is required and
a second GPS receiver (GPS 2) is mandatory. If Track Control is not used, one GPS
receiver (GPS 1) is sufficient.
