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.
