Sensor modules
There are two types of H5000 sensor module.
Barometric & temperature sensor
Measures the atmospheric pressure and air temperature, allowing the CPU to record
atmospheric pressure changes over varying periods of time and current air temperature.
3D Motion
The Tri-Axis Motion Sensor provides accurate measurement of the heel and trim angles as
well as pitch, roll and yaw rates of the yacht, allowing the CPU software to correct the wind
data for errors induced by this motion.
Alarm module
The alarm module is a network audible alarm that can be positioned anywhere on the
network.
H5000 Pilot Computer
The H5000 Pilot Computer links with the H5000 instrument system. The instrument system
transmits sensor information over the network to the Pilot Computer. This information is
processed by the Pilot Computer and sends signals to the drive system (linear ram, rotary
drive or hydraulic pump) to steer the vessel on the desired heading/course.
