CHAPTER 1: 1.1 INTRODUCTION 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.

1.3 SENSORS 1.3.1 Masthead Unit The Masthead Unit measures the wind speed and angle at the masthead. A choice of units is available; Four sizes of Vertical Masthead Unit, including some available in ‘Ocean Specification’ for special applications. A standard 450mm (17.5”) horizontal unit is also available. 1.3.2 Ultrasonic Speed Sensor The Ultrasonic Speed Sensor provides highly accurate and stable boat speed measurement. The Ultrasonic Speed Sensor has no moving parts and requires minimal maintenance.
PAGE 18
h2000 User Manual The Halcyon 2000 Compass has the ability to ‘learn’ the magnetic effect of the vessel on the compass and automatically apply deviation correction. 1.3.5 Halcyon Gyro Stabilised Compass The Halcyon Gyro Stabilised Compass (HGSC) is a high performance, solid-state compass that provides the best available heading information through the use of rate gyros to correct for the motion of your yacht. It also provides high accuracy Heel and Trim data.

1.4 DISPLAYS 1.4.1 Full Function Display (FFD) This is the standard system display; all h2000 systems must contain at least one FFD. Additional FFDs and other display types, as described in the following paragraphs, are options with which the system can be expanded and made even more powerful to the user. The FFDs name provides an indication that this is more than simply a display.
PAGE 20
h2000 User Manual 1.4.3 20/20 Display The 20/20 display is a lightweight, large digit, liquid crystal display that can be configured from any FFD or RemoteVision to display any system function. A Remote Button is also available for scrolling through pre-configured functions quickly. The 20/20’s operation is described in Chapter 5 - Options. 1.4.
PAGE 21
h2000 calibration is an ongoing process and is something you must be aware of each time you go sailing. This is particularly relevant of the true wind calibration, where constant refining will pay huge dividends in accuracy. To this end the process has been simplified as far as possible, so that all you require for accurate instrument data is some background knowledge together with a few simple techniques. Refer to Chapter 3 - Calibration. 1.
PAGE 22
h2000 User Manual Damping should not be confused with the update rate which is the number of times per second that the function value is sent to the display. The update rate is fixed for all the functions. 1.7 MENU STRUCTURE The central concept to the operation of the system is the menu structure of the functions, and once this is grasped, operation very quickly becomes familiar.

Each successive selected menu choice will be in capitals, separated by a → symbol. For instance, the example given in Paragraph 2.4.1 to manually calibrate the log would look like this: SPEED → BOAT SPD, CALBRATE → MANL CAL → SINGLE Menu choices in PLAIN capitals are the selection of the required Function.
PAGE 47
4. Function text can be renamed to other pre-defined choices. Aft Depth is useful when it is important to monitor the depth from an auxiliary depth transducer. For example, it is possible to install an NMEA depth transducer at the stern of the yacht, which then allows you to monitor depth readings when manoeuvring stern to, into a berth. Refer to Chapter 3 – Calibration for details on setting the depth datum and renaming the function text. 2.9.

PAGE 60
h2000 User Manual Leeway is the angle between the boat’s heading and course through the water. The difference is caused by the sideways slip that the boat has when going upwind. For the h2000 to be able to measure this it needs to know the heel angle, and hence a sensor must be fitted. Leeway is of great importance in the calculation of Dead Reckoning, since the 3º to 4º of leeway can considerably affect the dead reckoned position. 2.9.
PAGE 61
2. Check that the Local Time Offset is entered on the position fixer correctly. The function normally shows the Local Time of Day in hours and minutes as given by the position fixer. To reveal minutes and seconds press the Enter Key once.

2.9.34 Optimum Wind Angle Menu heading: Function text: Update rate: Units: PERFORM OPT W/A 1Hz Degrees Note 1. Requires Performance Processor. For every target boat speed there is an angle at which that speed will be achieved (the Target Wind Angle). The optimum wind angle is the difference between this angle and that at which you are presently sailing, so keeping the optimum wind angle at zero achieves the angle for Target Boat Speed.

This also comes direct from the position fixing system, and is available, provided it is sent, as soon as the position fixer is connected. Comparing the speed over the ground to the speed attained through the water is a key tactical tool, particularly so in strong tidal waters and at night. 2.9.
PAGE 69
The h2000 calculates the optimum VMG from the polar table for the wind speed and then compares this to the VMG actually being achieved, displaying the result as the tacking performance percentage. The same problems of time lag exist here as they do with VMG, this is discussed in the section on VMG.
PAGE 70
h2000 User Manual Tacking Performance has a CALBRATE option that allows you to choose a type of polar table that equates to your type of yacht. In the next Paragraph, Target Boat Speed, we discuss polar tables in general and the implications of this choice. 2.9.43 Target Boat Speed Menu heading: Function text: Update rate: Units: PERFORM TARG SPD 1Hz Knots Notes 1. At Target True Wind Angle. 2. Requires a Performance Processor.
PAGE 71
It can then be scaled to your rating using the RATING Menu choice, which is at the same level, and found by: PERFORM → TACKING, CALBRATE → CAL VAL2 (RATING) These values are entered in the normal manner. Once you have understood and developed the polar table it will improve all the performance functions: reaching and tacking performance, optimum wind angle and target boat speed, as well as the predictions of next leg. We can see from Figure 4 how the target boat speed is obtained from the polar tables.
PAGE 72
h2000 User Manual 2.9.45 Tide Set and Rate Menu heading: Function text: Update rate: Units: NAVIGATE TIDE SET or TIDE RTE 1Hz ºM or ºT, knots Notes 1. Damping 0-99 minutes. 2. Calibration: Magnetic variation. Some position fixers output the current local magnetic variation on the NMEA 0183 port using either HVD, HVM, RMA or RMC sentences. As a result, CAL VAL1 on the TIDE SET function will be automatically set to the correct variation.
PAGE 73
The damping on this function is adjustable and can be important. In rapidly changing tidal situations you need to lower the damping down as far as possible to be able to see the changes quickly. Conversely, in a steady tide or current the longer the period over which the calculation is averaged, the more accurate the results will be.

This is the Tactician's greatest ally in the search for the right wind shifts. It shows the compass direction that the wind is coming from regardless of the boat's heading. It is calculated from the true wind angle and heading, and is corrected for calibration errors by the true wind look-up table. It is very important to understand the function of this, in order to have an accurate true wind direction. It is fully explained in Chapter 3 - Calibration. 2.9.

This can be a very important function on free legs, particularly if you are a long way from the mark, since the greatest VMG to Waypoint (VMC) is not necessarily obtained by sailing straight at the mark. In Figure 6 we can see how this works.

PAGE 80
h2000 User Manual VMG can measure the performance upwind and downwind much more effectively than boat speed, since it takes into account how close the boat is sailing to the wind. However, it is not possible for the helmsman to sail to it directly because of the momentum of the boat. As the boat sails closer to the wind, the VMG will initially rise because the boat will hold its speed due to the energy contained in its momentum.

h2000 User Manual CHAPTER 3: CALIBRATION 3.1 INTRODUCTION WARNING Every care must be taken when undertaking any Calibration Procedure to ensure that the h2000 System is calibrated accurately and correctly. Incorrect calibration could lead to incorrect navigational information placing the yacht into danger. Calibration of an integrated instrument system is probably one of the most misunderstood processes in the world of yacht racing.
PAGE 83
Without these basic inputs you cannot have the more important values of true wind speed and direction and velocity made good, which are calculated from them. As an absolute minimum your system should measure these four parameters. There are many really useful additional values that the h2000 allows you to measure, but they are not essential to the system's primary function.
PAGE 84
h2000 User Manual In the case of multiple speed sensors the h2000 will always use the calibration value for the selected sensor; this is determined by the system based on user choice of heel, wind angle or a combination of the two. 3.2.2 Preparation for Log Calibration Before calibrating the log you should ensure that the underwater unit is correctly aligned as follows: Sonic Speed: Check that the unit is operating correctly.

Press Enter twice and display shows the default setting for the actual calibration distance for each run along the given course. 6. Press Enter, the value for CAL DIST will flash. The Scroll Up and Scroll Down Keys can now be used to select the appropriate measured distance (X).
PAGE 87
Note • “Err” is displayed if the system encountered a problem during the calibration run. For example, if the calibration run distance was too short. The log is now calibrated and the new calibration value is stored permanently in the Main Processor memory. 3.2.6 Manual Calibration The calibration values can be adjusted directly as follows: 1. Select BOAT SPD in the upper display. 2. Press and hold the Scroll Down Key to select CALIBRATE from the menu. 3.

h2000 User Manual 3.2.9 Tack Source Speed Calibration Setting The Tack Source setting allows you to define how the h2000 determines which tack it is presently sailing on, and therefore decide which is the most appropriate boat speed sensor and calibration value (port or starboard) to use. The port and starboard boat speed calibration values can be automatically switched from either the apparent wind angle or heel angle if a suitably installed sensor is connected to the system.
PAGE 91
3.2.10 Boat Speed Offset Calibration If a difference in boat speed is indicated from tack to tack, it is possible to calibrate out the error using an offset table. It is necessary to first calibrate the boat speed using one of the methods described previously, it is then important to establish which tack is providing the correct boat speed, set the other tack to be the “correction tack” under TACK OFF. 1. Select BOAT SPD on an FFD. 2. Press Enter, then scroll to select CALIBRATE. 3.
PAGE 92
h2000 User Manual Heel Angle corrections apply to all types of sensor and are actually due to the change in water flow patterns over the surface of the hull rather than the sensor characteristics.

For example, a paddlewheel sensor connected to a pilot computer or NMEA boat speed decoded by the main processor. 3.3 MEASURED WIND SPEED AND ANGLE 3.3.1 Principles of Wind Speed/Angle Calibration One of the greatest problems for an instrument system to overcome, which has not yet been conquered, is wind shear and wind gradient.
PAGE 95
This creates a problem for the two things we are about to try to calibrate, measured wind speed and measured wind angle. It is easy to see how shear can affect the measured wind angle; no sooner have you set it up than the shear changes and everything is out again.
PAGE 96
h2000 User Manual This is why we recommend that the last thing you touch is the Measured Wind Speed. It is calibrated in the factory where wind tunnel calibrated units are available, and apparent inaccuracies are 99% attributable to effects such as wind gradient, rather than to a basic calibration problem. 3.3.2 Measured Wind Angle (MWA) Calibration To discover the MWA alignment error we can employ one of two techniques. The first is simply to go head to wind and read the value of the Measured Wind Angle.

PAGE 98
h2000 User Manual 3.4 TRUE WIND CORRECTION Calibration of True Wind Angle and True Wind Speed will automatically correct Apparent Wind Angle and Apparent Wind Speed errors. 3.4.1 True Wind Direction The need for further calibration of true wind direction will become clear as soon as you go sailing. The true wind might vary in direction from tack to tack, independently of any wind shifts. This phenomenon has come to be known as the true wind 'tacking'.
PAGE 99
MHU Figure 11 - Upwash In Figure 11 the wind that the instruments measure is actually deflected from the 'real' wind angle. Add to this the various twisting effects of the mast and the Masthead Unit, and we get some idea of the problems involved. The hardest part is that it is easy to see the true wind direction 'tack' as little as 2-3 degrees, which would mean the correction factors being as accurate as 0.5 degree, or about 1%.

To see how we work out the correction we will look at an on the water situation, from which we can determine some general rules.
PAGE 101
And the converse will apply: If headed from Tack to Tack add half the difference. All we need to do now is tell the h2000 the correction value at each of the points in the table.
PAGE 102
h2000 User Manual Finally, the most important thing is to record all these entries in the Calibration Charts provided in Appendix 1. 3.4.2 True Wind Speed The True Wind Speed suffers from another, mainly aerodynamic, problem, where it tends to over-read downwind because of acceleration of the airflow over the top of the mast. It is possible to correct for this by applying a downwind correction to the true wind speed.
PAGE 103
3.5 COMPASS CALIBRATION 3.5.1 Principles of Compass Calibration B&G's Autoswing compasses contain software that allows them to record the magnetic fields in the yacht that are causing the deviation errors. It calculates the corrections every time the boat completes a 360° turn, provided the following conditions are met: HB-0845-06 a. The 360° turn - Halcyon 2000 & Halcyon Gyro Stabilised Compass is completed in the same direction. b. The rate of change of heading does not exceed 3°/s; i.e.

Notes • Hydra Pilots, Hercules Pilots, HS Pilots and Halcyon FFDs will also require the Heading Node to be set to your desired choice. Refer to the relevant user manual for further information. • 20/20 displays will require Heading to be re-selected following Heading node selection. Simply re-select this function.

Further sensors can be added to improve the accuracy of the data already available and to supply new information. 5.2 SENSORS 5.2.
PAGE 140
h2000 User Manual 5.2.3 Trim Angle Sensor Provides display of Trim Angle and increases the accuracy of the following functions: Apparent Wind Angle Apparent Wind Speed True Wind Angle True Wind Speed True Wind Direction 5.2.4 Barometric Pressure Sensor Measures the atmospheric pressure, allowing the Main Processor to record atmospheric pressure changes over varying periods of time. 5.2.5 Rudder Angle Sensor The addition of a Rudder Angle can be very useful, indicating how the boat is balanced. 5.2.
PAGE 141
5.2.9 Sensor Input Configuration Additional sensors can be added to the system connecting to one of the four linear inputs on the main processor. Linear channels 5 to 16 are available with the addition of an Expansion Processor. These can be configured to take different sensors. If you connect the sensor to the linear input that B&G have anticipated then you need take no action beyond the connection itself, since the default linear input configuration will be the right one.
PAGE 142
h2000 User Manual Note Do not select the same number on more than one linear input, otherwise the selection will be ignored (no function can be connected to more than one input except the Normal Linear input which is not limited). 5.3 DISPLAYS Further displays and controllers can be added to the system. These include additional FFDs, the RemoteVision, the 20/20 or 40/40 Display (see Para 5.4 and 5.5), the Halcyon Display, and all the different types of analogue indicators. 5.3.

h2000 User Manual A NMEA Full Function Display (FFD) can be used to interface NMEA 0183 data to an h2000 system. The Performance Processor can also be used as an interface for NMEA 0183 data to the h2000 System. The Performance Processor has two NMEA inputs and outputs, (one of which is disabled if the RS232C interface is required). In the case of multiple NMEA inputs and outputs it should not be assumed that data input to one device will be available for output from any other device.
PAGE 155
5.9.1 Displaying NMEA Functions Depending on the device connected to the NMEA interface the following functions may be displayed by the Hercules System: Bearing to waypoint, true, rhumb. Bearing to waypoint, magnetic, rhumb. Bearing to waypoint, true, great circle. Bearing to waypoint, mag., great circle. Bearing from waypoint to waypoint, true. Bearing from waypoint to waypoint, mag. Distance to waypoint, rhumb line, Nm. Distance to waypoint, great circle, Nm. Distance to layline, Nm.
PAGE 156
h2000 User Manual 5.9.2 Selection of Equipment When planning the purchasing of equipment to interface to the h2000 System, it is most important to check that it is NMEA 0183 compatible and the required data is transmitted or received by it. The 0183 standard defines data sentences which are identified by three letter mnemonics. Paragraphs 5.10 – 5.13 list the sentences and their mnemonics that are input and output by the h2000 NMEA interface.

h2000 User Manual 5.14 Performance Processor NMEA Input and Output Configuration The Performance Processor has two NMEA inputs and two NMEA outputs. However if the RS232 interface is required then only one NMEA input and output can be used. The inputs are optically isolated, as required by the standard, so there is no direct electrical connection between the talker device and the Hercules System. The input requirement is half the minimum drive capacity of a standard NMEA output.

5. Press Enter to accept the new configuration. 5.14.2 Fast HDM Output Option The two NMEA ports may be configured independently to output HDM sentences ten times a second for the benefit of other NMEA instruments that may require a rapid heading update. To set this up, proceed as follows: 1. Select the MISC Menu and cycle through the options to find NMEAPORT 1 or NMEAPORT 2 as appropriate. 2. Using the Scroll Up and Scroll Down keys scroll to CALBRATE on the other half of the display.

When input sentences containing these indicators are decoded by the Performance Unit the status of the indicators is checked. If an invalid status is found then all the data in that sentence is marked as invalid when stored internally. When output sentences are being constructed the validity of the data for each field is checked, and if any field is found to be invalid the invalid indicator is set in the output sentence.

h2000 User Manual A new menu automatically appears on all FFDs called EXPAND when an Expansion Processor is added to the system. Up to twelve linear functions may be displayed numbered LINEAR 5 to LINEAR 16. Initially only LINEAR 5 is shown. A linear function by default shows a number between 0, representing 0 volts on its input and 1000 representing 6.5 volts on its input. The voltage change is assumed to be linear in relationship.

set to the same function as any one of the Linear 5 to 16 inputs. Calibration value 2 (CAL VAL 2) displays MIN VAL with a number that can be adjusted between -999 and 9999. This is the number to be displayed for a 0V input. The default setting is 0. Calibration value 3 (CAL VAL 3) displays MAX VAL with a number that can be adjusted between -999 and 9999. This is the number to be displayed for 6.5V input. The default setting is 1000. 5.16.

h2000 User Manual CHAPTER 6: DIAGNOSTIC DATA 6.1 FFD DIAGNOSTICS The FFD contains a number of diagnostic functions. These allow the FFDs own keys, display and memory to be tested and also perform some checks on other parts of the system via the network. One of the more useful of these tests enables the user to determine the software version numbers of the processor units in the system. This information is often useful when contacting service agents. 6.1.
PAGE 209
The options in the DIAGNOSTICS Menu are described in the following paragraphs, 6.1.2 to 6.1.3. 6.1.2 RES-SYS Caution Do not use this option during normal operation as all calibration values will be lost This allows individual units or the entire system to be reset. The network node address of the unit to be reset is selected using the Scroll Up and Scroll Down Keys and then Enter pressed. The node allocations are as follows: Individual Addresses Node Address 01H 05H 09H 0DH 10H 11H to 12H (Typ.

6.2 h2000 MAIN PROCESSOR The main processor contains two circuit boards: the wind board and the depth board. The depth board is responsible for boat speed, sea temperature and depth measurement. The wind board is the main computer responsible for wind functions and also drives the analogue meters.
PAGE 212
h2000 User Manual - - - The display locks down showing depths in the range 0 to 1.5m or display shows random deep depths. All of these symptoms can be caused by external conditions so care and additional tests should be performed before concluding the fault lies with the depth sounder. There are two values output by the depth sounder which can be of assistance in diagnosing problems, these are receiver gain and noise which can be found in the PARAMTR Menu on a FFD. 6.3.
PAGE 213
(f) The transducer is faulty or has been damaged. The transducer should be checked for any damage, barnacle growth or thick layers of paint. If it needs cleaning this should be done with a scrubbing brush. The face of the transducer may have a thin coat of anti-fouling applied to it making sure no air bubbles are trapped in the paint. The cable should be checked for damage. The resistance between the BLUE and BLACK cores should be in the region of 0.
PAGE 214
h2000 User Manual (c) Poorly located transducer. Determine what conditions cause the problem by doing some manoeuvring trials in an area which has a relatively uniform depth, a solid bottom and is clear of the wake from other boats. First determine the maximum speed at which reliable soundings can be made when travelling in a straight line. Then repeat the tests when turning to port and starboard.
PAGE 215
6.3.4 b. Keel echoes. If the transducer has been installed too close to the keel it is possible to get consistent echoes from the keel. The transducer should be relocated further away from the keel. If this is impossible then increasing the minimum depth to just below the keel can solve the problem but may result in poor performance when the bottom is shaded by the keel.
PAGE 216
h2000 User Manual c. 6.4 Mid-water echoes. When outside the range of the depth sounder it is possible that random depths are displayed due to mid-water echoes from shoals of fish or aeration layers. PERFORMANCE UNIT The Performance Unit contains the NMEA and RS232 interfaces and also calculates the performance related functions. 6.
