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.

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

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.

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
•
