NXR Racing System

Multi-control Instrument Standard LCD Part No. 20620059
Inverted LCD Part No. 20620060
Multi-control Instrument

Mounted either on the deck or down below the NXR multicontrol instrument is the primary display that users of NXR will mount both at the helming position and at the navigation console. This instrument allows the user to access any of the digital information provided by the NEXUS Network, and in any combination. The display shows the data in clear, easy to read digits, with both primary and secondary readouts. Built to withstand the toughest conditions, it also allows the user to access a comprehensive range of information – at the press of a button via a built-in remote control complete with four dedicated preset buttons that allows the selection of up to 10 favourite settings. The result is that the helmsman or navigator can pre-programme a series of preferred data combinations suited to different points of sailing or particular locations, thereby saving valuable time in adjusting instruments at critical moments.

Features:

  • Access any of the digital information provided by the NX system.
  • Shows the data in clear, easy to read digits.
  • Primary and secondary readouts
  • Built-in remote control
  • Four dedicated preset buttons
  • 10 favorite settings
NXR XLR Instrument Part No. 20620061
NXR XLR Instrument

The XLR instrument is the all-new mast instrument designed by Nexus specifically for the NXR instrumentation system. The result of a long process of customer consultation the XLR features 63.5 mm (2.5 inch) digits, which have been proven as the ideal size for large racing yachts. Their first class readability is further enhanced by their crisp presentation. Fully programmable from the navigation workstation, the XLR displays incorporate a host of new features designed to maximize their utility to the Grand Prix racing crew.

These stylish and rugged displays are nitrogen filled and fully waterproof, capable of withstanding extended, open ocean conditions. Despite their size they weigh just 300 g each.

Features:

  • Inverted LCD with high light output makes the display easy to read at night without any risk of loss of night sight
  • Choice of red or green background light separates instruments and allows crew to differentiate key datasets
  • Option of two colours for frames – graphite grey and light grey. Allows owner to select a colour scheme that best suits his boat's overall design
  • Easy-to-read lead text ensures that viewers recognize which function is displayed, avoiding potentially costly mistakes
  • Multilanguage options for lead text
NXR Steer Pilot Part No. 20620063
NXR Steer Pilot

The steer pilot is a highly innovative instrument that has proven its value out on the racecourse many times since it was first introduced as part of the NX2 system in 2005. Put in simple terms, this invaluable instrument continuously displays to the helmsman the direction in which he should be steering in order to reach a given point in the fastest and most efficient way. It does this by combining data from the compass, speed transducer and GPS and when required analyses it against a boat's technical specification, most commonly the polars, to determine the best route. When the helmsman deviates from that route the needle instantly moves away from the centre line, indicating in the clearest way possible the direction and extent of that deviation. The system updates five times per second, ensuring that there is no time lag between the error occurring and the information being transmitted to the helmsman. Using the NXR steer pilot quickly becomes second nature to the helmsman, and will hold his concentration for extended periods without becoming tiring or straining his vision. Meanwhile the navigator can update the parameters at the navigation workstation at any time and the new optimum course will instantly be indicated on the instrument without any need for the verbal transmission of complex instructions. As well as indicating the fastest point of sailing, the steer pilot can also be programmed to indicate:

  • Deviation from a compass course
  • Deviation from a pre determined apparent wind angle
  • Course to waypoint, with or without compensation for drift

Features:

  • Deviation from a compass course
  • Deviation from a pre determined apparent wind angle
  • Course to waypoint, with or without compensation for drift
  • Indicates the fastest point of sailing
  • Deviation from Optimum Course (from Polar tables)
