CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
At the heart of every h2000 System is the main processor.
Dependent upon your system choice, this will either be the
Hydra Processor for Hydra 2000 Systems, or the Hercules
Processor for Hercules 2000 systems.
The main processor integrates raw data from sensors and
makes them available on a choice of displays anywhere in
the yacht. The modular design allows you to progress from a
standard system, adding new units as required. This manual
describes the standard system and then describes how the
system can be expanded.
The system is connected together by the Fastnet high-speed
communications network, which handles all the data that
travels between devices; the Main Processor, Full Function
Displays (FFDs), 20/20s, 40/40s and Halcyon Displays.
These, combined with the wind speed and angle, compass
heading, boat speed and depth sensors make up the standard
system.
1.2 PROCESSORS
1.2.1 h2000 Main Processor
The h2000 Main Processor is responsible for monitoring the
data from the sensors, including sensors of both the standard
system and the expansion options that may be added. The
sensors can provide the following functions:
Boat Speed
Depth
Measured Wind Angle
Measured Wind Speed
Compass Heading
