Welcome to the

A complete racing system derived from the legacy, the

includes a PS speedo, gyro-compensated magnetic compass, race timer,

distance to the start line and all other essential and advanced race functions.

The new features a Bluetooth communication transceiver

offering a wide range of functions and applications:

•

Record up to 1248 hours of racing (1 point / 30 seconds)

•

Replay on oogle Earth and other navigational software

•

Computer management of 100 waypoints, including their coordinates and

descriptions

•

Computer management of 20 routes imported from oogle Earth and

defined by existing waypoints

•

Updates with new features

The usage of the is greatly simplified with large and dedicated

buttons for starting the timer and defining the start line points, and the port and

starboard references at your finger tips.

Introduction

The mounting location should be as far as possible from any magnetic objects to

avoid any interference with the compass sensor.

The should be ideally mounted close to the vertical and

horizontal planes.

Note:

Wherever you mount the , it shouldn’t be flush to any

thick surface such as the hull, so that the sensitivity of the embedded GPS

receiver is not affected.

Note:

If your isn’t facing the same direction as the boat, you

can compensate this difference in the parameter tab of the Novasail Wireless

anager PC software.

Switching power on and o

•

Make sure the battery is installed with the correct polarity and has enough

remaining power (positive pole inserted first).

•

Press the lower to start the device. A beep will be emitted.

•

Press and hold the lower for more than 4 seconds until the screen

displays OFF and the sequence “3”, “2”, “1” is finished. A beep will be

emitted when the device turns off.

The device will turn off automatically when it remains in the horizontal position for

more than 3 minutes. A beep will be emitted 3 seconds before it turns off.

Operations

Upon switching on, the remaining memory time for the PS data logger is

displayed for 5 seconds. This ’ PS LO ’ time is given in hours as shown below.

Note:

If the device does not turn on, you need to check that the battery is fully

charged, that the battery compartment is clean, dry and the polarity is correct. No

liquid should get i to the battery compartme t otherwise this may cause

internal damage. The 2 springs for +/- contacts in the battery compartment can be

removed/cleaned with rubbing alcohol or similar and then put back in place.

Note:

If the battery is almost discharged, the GPS functions are automatically

deactivated (’OFF’ is displayed) in order to save power. Only the functions linked

to the magnetic compass are activated and the battery indicator will blink.

Note:

Until enough satellites are locked, the is not ready for

use. For the modes SPE, SLD, V G and Wxx, the screen displays ’---’. For the

AX speed sub-mode, the maximum value is displayed but blinking until ready.

Note:

Disposable alkaline batteries are not recommended, but can be used to

reach the maximum 40-hour battery life of the . It is ma datory

to remove disposable batteries if the device is not going to be used for a

prolonged period of time (a week or more) to avoid battery leakage, as this will

irreversibly damage the battery compartme t. Therefore we recommend that

rechargeable batteries with a low self discharge rate should be used (normal

Operations

rechargeable batteries lose their stored energy quickly even when they are not

being used), and will last for 30 hours or more. Recommended batteries are

SANYO ENELOOP, GP RECYKO+, UNIROSS HYBRIO (2000mA or more typical

capacity).

Switching backlight on and o

•

After the power of the is turned on, the backlight is

automatically switched ON/OFF by the internal light sensor detector.

•

The backlight can be manually switched ON or OFF: press and hold the

upper for more than 1 second until the icon is displayed on the

screen.

•

To turn off the backlight, press and hold the upper for more than 1

second until the icon disappears from the screen.

Note

Once the backlight has been switched ON or OFF manually, the

automatic light sensor detector will no longer be used and will resume upon the

next power cycle.

Note

In PC mode (see Advanced Operations, page 22), the backlight can be

only switched ON or OFF manually.

Switching modes and sub-modes

•

Choose the mode and sub-mode required by pushing the ‘mode’ button and

then the and for the sub-mode selection.

•

You are free to choose any mode on each line independently.

Operations

GPS record status

•

When the icon is displayed, the PS trace is recording.

•

The Novasail Wireless Manager PC software gives you three options at

startup: PS trace record disabled, PS trace record always ON and PS

trace record starts at the end of timer countdown.

•

For more information please refer to the online manual of the Novasail

Wireless Manager PC software for the .

Speed mode: SPE

This mode provides the speed over ground of the boat as measured by the PS

receiver. The sub-modes provide several speed resolutions, the trip distance and

the maximum speed. The boat speed is displayed in knots (kts) with a resolution

of 0.1 knots. The minimum speed is 0.5 knots.

•

Use the and to scroll the sub-modes.

Speed sub-modes

•

High: High sensitivity

The high sensitivity speed allows a very sensitive reading of any speed variation.

•

Med: Medium sensitivity

This sub-mode provides an average speed of the boat over a short period of time.

This is particularly useful when sailing with big waves upwind or downwind.

•

Low: Low sensitivity

This sub-mode provides an average speed of the boat over a longer period of

time. This is particularly useful in rough conditions with lots of speed changes.

Operations

•

Max: Speed MAXimum

The maximum speed that the boat has reached since the last reset.

•

trip: trip distance

The trip mode displays the total distance made by the vessel since the last reset.

To reset the maximum speed or trip dista ce:

•

Select the maximum speed or the trip distance in the sub-mode

•

Tilt the device 90 degrees to the right or left for more than 3 seconds

•

The value is reset

Note

For the ‘ ax’ and ’trip’ sub-mode don’t forget to reset the value before

your next sail begins to ensure the value displayed refers to the new sail.

Velocity made good mode: VMG

This mode provides the projected speed of the boat on the reference (wind)

direction, which is deducted from the port and starboard angle references

captured. The VM is shown in knots (kts) and the memorized wind direction in

use will be indicated on the main display.

To set a d adjust the wi d directio i VMG mode

•

Press and hold to capture the port angle direction

•

Press and hold to capture the starboard angle direction

•

You may enter or adjust the wind direction value with the and

Note

The V G speed sensitivity is adjusted (High/ ed/Low) by using the

same sensitivity of the speed in SPE mode on the same line (lines are
