PART 5 - OPTIONS


5.1

SYSTEM EXPANSION


The Hydra 2000 System may be expanded to provide a wider range of
facilities and features by the addition of further displays, sensors, and
interfaces. These Options are described in the following Paragraphs.


5.2

SENSORS


There are four linear inputs into the Main Processor which enable further
sensors to be connected. In addition, the Expansion Unit which has 12 extra
inputs is also available.

5.2.1

Trim Angle Sensor


Provides measurement of the boat’s trim, using a clinometer.

5.2.2

Mast Rotation Sensor


This is essential if your mast rotates, otherwise you lose all the wind angle
functions. The addition of this unit gives two new functions, the Wind Angle
to the Mast (W/A MAST) and Mast Angle (MAST ANG)

5.2.3

Heel Angle Sensor


By sensing Heel Angle and applying this value with that of the functions of
Course and Dead Reckoning, Leeway can be calculated.

5.2.4

Barometric Pressure Sensor


Measures the atmospheric pressure, allowing the Main Processor to record
atmospheric pressure changes over varying periods of time displayed as
pressure trend.

5.2.5

Rudder Angle Sensor


The addition of a Rudder Angle sensor can be very useful, indicating how the
boat is balanced.
