INTRODUCTION TO NETWORK TACK

The Network TACK unit is a analogue Magnified Wind Angle

repeater used for sailing on the wind or running, with a back-

lit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that can show other wind

information selected by pressing one of the five keys. It has

no sensor interfaces as all data is passed to the unit via the

system network cables. Network TACK must be connected

to a system that contains a Network WIND unit for wind data

and a Network SPEED unit (for true wind and VMG

functions) via the two network cable tails at the rear of the

unit.

The unit is capable of transmitting NMEA 0183 v1.5 data via

the network cables.

The five keys give the following selections:

• AWA Apparent Wind Angle

• TWS True Wind Speed

• TWA True Wind Angle

• VMG Velocity Made Good

• LIGHTS Three levels of illumination and off.
