Welcome aboard the N exus Network!
Thank you for choosing NX2 and welcome to the world of the Nexus Network.
Through this manual we w ould like to help you install, operate and understand your new Nexus Network.
The Server is the ”hea rt” of your Nexus Network, to which transducers for speed, depth, heading, wind and navigation (GPS, Loran or Decca) are connected.
From the Server the si ngle Nexus Network cable transmits power and data to the instruments, which rep eat the information sent from the Server, or other NX2 transducers.
The Nexus Network is designed with the industry standard RS 485 databus, which allows you to connect u p to 32 NX2 instrument units on the single Nexus Network cable, thereby allowing you the flexibility to easily develop your system. The Nexus
Network is capable of c arrying data 10 times faster than NMEA 0183.
The connection system, with a single 5 mm (1/5") cable and 4-pole jack plugs with cable protectors, makes the installation easy. No need to drill big holes and the cable can be cut to exac t lengths. The connections at the Server ar e colour coded and marked with a number for easy reference.
NX2 Multi Control is a multi function instrument that displays a main and a subfunction together. You can easily ”customise” your favourite combination of functions, by using the u nique method to move, copy an d lock a sub-function.
The instruments large display gives you very good viewing possibilities from any angle, even in bright sunlight. The display and the five push-buttons have red back lighting which you can set to three different lighting levels.
A large selection of optional analogue repeaters and accessories are available. The analogue steer pilot instrument particularly offers unique functions. When used together with the steer reference function (AWA), you can actually steer after the wind and ”expand” the tacking or down wind angle.
These NX2 instruments carry a two year warranty, which gives you as our customer, confidence to trust NX2 and our commitment to quality.
To get the most out of your new NX2 product, please read through this manual carefully before you start your installation.
Again, thank you for choosing NX2. If you see us at a show, stop by and say hello.
Good luck and happy boating!

2 Installation
• The installation inc lud es 6 major steps:
1. Read the installation d
2. Plan where to install the transducers and instruments.
3. Run the cables.
4. Install the transducers and instruments.
5. Take a break and admire your install ation.
6. Learn the functions and calibrate you r system.
Before you begin drilling ... think a w and simple as your boat will allow. P lan where to position the transducers, Server and instruments. Think ab out leaving space for addition al instruments in the future.
• A few ”do nots” you s
hould consider:
−
Do not cut the cables too short. Allow extra cable length at the Server so it can be disconnected for inspection without having to disconnect all attached cables.
−
Do not place sealant behind the display. The instrument gasket eliminates the need for sealant.
−
Do not run cables in the bilge, where water can appear.
−
Do not run cables close to fluorescent light sources, engine or radio transmitting equipment to avoid electrical disturbances.
−
Do not rush, take your time. A neat installation is easy to do.
•
The following material is needed:
Wire cutters and strippers.
Small and large Philips and small flat head screw driver.
Hole saw for the instrument clearance hole 63 mm (2½").
5 mm (
1
/
4
") drill for the mounting holes.
Plastic cable ties
If you are doubtful about the installation, obtain the services of an experienced technician.

MULTI CONTROL
2.1 Installing the instrument
• Place the adhesive drill template on the desired location for the instrument. Drill the
2 holes using a 5 mm (
1
/
4
") drill for the two pin bolts. Use a 63 mm (2½") hole saw to machine the clearance hole for the instrument connection socket. Remove the template.
• Screw the two pin bolts to the instrument
• Put the instrument in place
• Screw the two nuts from the back
Note! The two nuts must just be tighten by hand
• Run the Nexus Network cable from the Server to the instrument.
• If you want to cut the Nexus Network cable to length, disconnect 4-pole jack plug and cut the cable. Peel off about 35 mm (1,4") of the cable insulation. Remove about 6 mm (1/4") from the 3 isolated wires (the 4th wire is an earth / screen). Attach the 4 cable protectors to the wires using a pair of flat pliers.
• Connect the 4 cable protectors to the 4-pole jack plug as shown. Apply silicon paste on all locations as shown.
Note: Must be done to avoid corrosion.
Silicon paste
13
MULTI CONTROL
• Apply
silicon paste to the instrument connection pins at the back of the instrument.
Press the jack plug onto the inst rument pins. Press the cable in to the cable leads.
• Mount the connection back cover w ith the screw.
2.1.1 Installin g instrument to the Server
All NX2 instruments are connected directly to the Nexus Network in a daisy chain. They all use the same colour coded 4-pole jack plugs.

MULTI CONTROL
3.1 Initialising the instrument
At power on, the instrument will perform a self test. The display will first show all segme nts, then the software version number and the Nexus Network ID n umber.
(PrESkey). This will give e instrument a logical ID number on the on the next instrumen t!
The Server automatical ly gives the first unit ID number 16, then
17 and so on. The ord er in which you press SET is the same order as the instrument s will be given a logical ID number on the
Nexus Network.
The example shows that the instrument version number is 2.0 and the given logical ID number is 16.
3.2 Re-initialising the instrument
If two instruments by mistake have the same ID number, this can cause disturbance and block the information on the Nexus data bus.
To re-initialise the instrument, press CLEAR during the power up sequence when version and ID numbers are displayed.
The display self test is then re-started on all instruments and you will be asked to press KEY on each instrument as explained above.
Note! If you do not succeed to re-initialise, we suggest you disconnect all but one instrument with the same ID number, then repeat the above procedure.

27
MULTI CONTROL steer your boat so tha t the display readout is 0.00 NM , which means you are on the desired track.
8.3 Steer refere nce (Pilot)
The sub-function (Pilot) is intended to be used together with the optional analogue inst rument steer pilot (Art. No. 2055 0-2) to assist the helmsman to keep the desired heading.
The powerful combin ation of the Multi Control inst rument together with the ana logue steer pilot actually offers you 6 functions.
Compass steering: (M EM)
1. Compass steering, using the 1 memory.
2. Headers and lifters, using the 2 memories and trim button. (See
9.3)
Wind steering: (AWA)
3. Close hauled indicato r, ex. 35°
4. Down wind indicator, ex. 175°
Waypoint steering:
5. Bearing To waypoint (BTW)
6. Course To Steer (CT S), including set and drift
When a steer reference has been selected the analogue s teer pilot instrument is immediate ly activated.
It starts to indicate the d ifference between desired and actual heading or angle. The logic is to keep the steer pilot instrument needle straight up pointing at zero (0) to stay on the set heading.
From analogue steer pilot instrument version 2.0, (MEM) and
(BTW) is functioning with COG (if navigator connected) even if a compass is not installed . The analogue read out will start at speed above 4KTS and stop below 2 KTS.
If you do not have the analogue steer pilot instrument, you can still use the function, if you display the selected steer reference heading (STR) in the sub-function and compare it with the actual compass heading in the main-function.
A NX2 autopilot can not be activated from the steer reference function. But when the NX2 autopilot has been activated in compass or wind mode it is possible to alter the autopilots heading from the (MEM) and (AWA) functions.

When the steer referen ce function (AWA) is used together with the analogue steer pilo t instrument, you can display an enlarged
”picture” of the tacking or run angle. Put simply, you ”expand” the wind angle.
Use the analogue steer pilot as a ”close hauled” instrument.
Example: You have selected 35° starboard side (35° |- STR) as your tacking angle.
When the needle on t he analogue steer pilot instrument points straight up to zero (0), y ou steer at the selec ted 35° wind angle.
You can of course als o use the (AWA) function when running down wind, to keep a s elected value for the run angle and/or to warn for a gibe.
Example: You have sele cted 160° port side (160° -| STR) as your running angle. When the needle on the analogue steer pilot instrument points to 15° port side you are at 145°. When the needle is at zero (0) you are at 160°. When the needle points 15° starboard you are at 175°.
At night, when you can not see the wind shifts, the use of the
(AWA) function together with the analogue steer pilot is a very helpful.
This is a dynamite function that allows you to ”expand” the
wind angles!!!
When a NX2 Autopilot is activated in wind mode, the (AWA) function on the Multi Control instrument can be used to perform an automatic tack.
The minus sign ( - ) in front of the wind angle value = port side.
The underlining sign ( _ ) in front of the wind angle value = starboard side.
Simply change the value of the digit in front of the wind angle, and the NX2 Autopilot will gibe to the opposite tack.

This function requires a compass transducer and displays course memory. One for starboard and one for port tack.
To fully use the tactical function it is recommended to install the optional trim button
(Art. No. 19763) and analogue steer pilot instrument (Art. No 22115-02). The trim button is usually installed close to the steering position. Many prefer to install one trim button on each side of the boat, that is one for each tack. (For installation of trim button, see Server manual). Your apparent tack angle is assumed to be constant, in that your magnetic heading will be changed compared to the wind, that is you will be changing your heading due to the wind shifts.
The tactical function will give you a fast and exact information about any wind shift compared to the magnetic heading.
Select sub-function (TAC).
When you have maximum ”lift”, press SET (or the trim button) to store the value. When the wind ”heads” more than 5-10* it is time to tack.
Follow the same procedure on the new leg. The reference value for the selected tack, will be changed every time you press SET

The deviation from selected course w ill be displayed on the analogue steer pilot inst rument.
If you do not have the o ptional trim button or analogue steer pilot connected, we suggest you move the sub-function (TAC) to the
NAVIGATE page. Now you can display both the heading and the tactical reference (TAC) at the same time.
Remember to turn off the off course alarm. To turn off the off course alarm, set C32 t o (00 ), (See 12.3.3, C32).
10 Man over boar d (MOB) function
This function will guide you back to the position where the man over board (MOB) butto n was pressed.
This function requires either a navigator (a NX2 GPS or NMEA navigator can be used ) or a speed and compass transducer as well as a man over boar d (MOB) button. (See Server Manual).
If only a compass and a speed transducer is connected, dead reckoning (MOB) will be displayed on both the Multi Control and the SPEED Log instrum ents. Dead reckoning (MOB) is also a very useful information, since a person in the water will drift almost as fast as the boat.
If a navigator, a compass and a log transducer is connected, dead reckoning (MOB) will be performed and displayed in the SPEED
Log instrument. At the same time the Multi Control instrument will display (MOB) relative position stored in memory when the (MOB) button was activated. A position in latitude and longitude is more important for the sea rescue service.
The (MOB) position is automatically stored in waypoint number
99, and over writes any earlier stored position.
To activate the MOB function, press the (MOB) button.

Note: You will get the b est result in calm water with a smooth turn on the steering whe el independently of how the circle is performed. When activa ted, you can stop the automatic compass deviation at any time wi th a press on CLEAR.
12.4.2 Automati c compass deviation check (Auto CHK)
(Auto CHK) is done by driving the boat in a circ le up to 1 ¼ turn, after (Auto DEV) is pe rformed. The result will be compared with
(Auto DEV). If the devi a tion is less than 1,5*, the average value from the comparison between (Auto DEV) and (Auto CHK) will be stored.
If the check is OK, (Auto CHK) w ill be displayed.
If not an error message will be displayed.
Select automatic comp ass check (Auto CHK), press S ET and repeat the same circle manoeuvre as described in the (Auto DEV) routine.
Note: As soon as you p lace any kind of ferrous items close to the compass, the (Auto D EV) / (Auto CHK) routines should be repeated. So if you have packed your boat for the vacation, think about where you place ferrous items in relation to the compass transducer.

12.4.4 Compass misalignment correction (Adj)
Compass transducer misalignment correction or the so called ”Afault”.
Can be set between 000°and 359°. Allows 180° reversed mounting if needed. Never mount the transducer in a 90° position relative to the boats fore-aft line.
To check the transducer position, sail/drive your boat in a straight line towards two visible objects in a line. If the actual heading taken from the sea chart is 330° and the compass displays 335°, then set calibration code C36 value to 360° - 5° = 355°.

12.7.2 Change N MEA sentences OUT from Server
Before you change any of the factory set NMEA sentences, check what NMEA sentences can be receiv ed by your NMEA navigator.
Select the slot number for the sentence to be changed, then press KEY.
To select the sentence, press DOWN or UP until found.
To lock the selected sentence, press KEY.
One of the advantages with the Nexus Network is the very fast transmission speed of data compared to the relatively slow NMEA standard (about 10 times faster). Therefore we recommend that you use Nexus instruments and transducers for better accuracy.
It takes two seconds to transmit all 16 NMEA sentences.
To double the transmission speed, select a NMEA sentence 2 times with 7 slots apart, that is the slots should be as far away from each other as possible.
In a similar way, you can select the a sentence 4 times to make it 4 times faster.
Example: If you want to transmit the Nexus compass heading via NMEA, to for example an autopilot, select (HDM) for every odd slot number, C79, C81, C83 ...
C93, that is 8 times which makes the speed 4 times / second. This leaves the

12.7.3 Receive NMEA sentence s IN to Server
There are 6 different ma in types of NMEA sentences:
1) Position related da ta: Position, SOG/COG, time, and a limited amo unt of satellite status if a GPS is connected. The information is read if no other Nexu s
GPS is connected. If a N exus GPS is co nnected, it will take over the navigation.
2) Navigation data: (BT W), (DTW), (BOD), (XTE), (SET) a nd (DRIFT).
The Server will automa tically send dat a to the Nexus Network. E.g.: (DRIFT),
(WCV), (TTG) and (CTS ).
3) Speed data: is read only if (C73 BSP) is set to (ON). See 12.6.4
4) Depth data: is read o nly if ( C74 DEP ) is set to (ON). Se e 12.6.5
5) Compass data: is re ad only if (C75 CMP) is set to (ON) See 12.6.6
. Heading is either (HDT) (priority ) or (HDM). Magnetic variation (from Ne xus N etwork) is added to (HDM) but not to (HD T).
6) Wind data: angle an d wind speed is read from (MWV) data, only if (C7 6 WND) is set to (ON) See 12.6.7. True wind angle and wind speed is calculat ed by
Nexus, when the boat speed (the speed of the water) is known.

12.8.1 Baudrate control,
It is possible to change the baudrate from 4800bps to 19200bps.
To do that, a PC is required. Note 19200 is not to be considered as NMEA since the standard states 4800. See 12.8.1 a. The Requesting unit is allowed to transmit the message:
"$PSILBPS,19200,R,<CR><LF>" once every 2s at nominal 4800 bps with normal NMEA start bit and stop bit settings.
This message may be received on any of the two Server ports. b. The receiving unit (NX2 Server) will Confirm message:
"$PSILBPS,19200,C,<CR><LF>" and send it back on output ports to the requesting unit. c. When the requesting unit receives the same message but with the flag set to "C"
(Confirmed), both server ports (A and B) are set to 19200bps and transmission may start at the new baudrate. The sending unit may now stop sending the proprietary request message since it has entered the higher baudrate. There is no way back unless there is a power loss.
From power up, baudrate is always set to 4800 and the above procedure must be repeated.
The receiving unit (Nexus Server) will always check for the proprietary message when in normal baudrate, not when in high baudrate.

14.2 Nexus Netw ork introduction and user policy
Introduction:
The Nexus data bus is a multi talker multi receiver data bus specially designed for marine navigation applications. It utilises the RS485 standard with up to 32 senders and/or receivers to form a Local Area Network. Data is transmitted synchronously with 1 start-bit, 8-data-bits, 1 parity-bit, two stop-bits in 9600 baud.
User policy:
The Nexus data bus is open for new users and applications without a licence or a licence fee. The data bus is, however, the property of the manufacturer, which means the specification must be followed in order to protect the manufacturer’s commitments to the Nexus data bus performance and safety.
For most PC-applications, the full duplex interface (Art. No.
21248), will be a very useful tool for monitoring real time data, to edit and store waypoints to PC-file or to Server and/or to the NX2
GPS. The interface is supplied with a cable for connection from
PC to the Server or NX2 instruments and/or the NX2 GPS. A 9pole D-sub connector is connected to the RS232 port on the PC.
