EN60945 Combined Log & Meteorological System

Nav-IS

Maritime Panel Computer (MPC)

Nav-IS

• 10.4” solid state EN60945 panel mountable MPC provides control of the LOG system, simulated speed entry, calibration and configuration parameter and data entry.

• MPC’s are configurable to allow either a single page or multiple pages of OWN ships data information, such as Heading, Roll, Pitch, Ship speed, Distance, Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Air pressure, Air / Sea Temperature, Depth, etc when provided with appropriate NMEA data message on their input are all available at no additional cost.

• Additional MPC’s can be added to the system easily.

• A page customisation service available from AMI where the pages may be designed with the customer input to meet a particular requirement.

Main Electronic UnitNav-IS

Inputs• Serial RS422 data inputs to NMEA

0183 version 2.3/3.01 for ships heading (HDT packet) used for the calculation of true and apparent wind speed direction

• 115V 50/60Hz 150VA Maximum for the system

• 15V DC power output for wind and other MET sensor supplies.

• Data inputs from Meteorological sensors as part of the system (3 x digital + 1 x Analogue)

Main Electronic UnitNav-IS

Data Formats• Log: The system will also transmit

forward, athwartships speed and forward distance with alternative strings in NMEA2.3/3.01 at 1Hz and will be of the form VBW: Dual ground / dual axis water speed, with ground speed set to invalid), VLW: Distance travelled through the water

• Wind & Met: The system will transmit Wind and meteorological information in NMEA version 2.3 format at 1Hz.

Ships Speed Electromagnetic Sensors

Nav-IS

• Available in either fixed flush mounted (dual axis forward and athwartships in a coffer dam arrangement i.e. no gate valve) or fully in board retractable with a gate valve (single or dual axis forward speed) formats

• Speed range: -10 to +30 knots (+40 for high speed version)

• Accuracy: With flush probe after calibration: • Forward speed: 0 to 10 Knots: ± 0.2 knots.

Above 10 knots: ±2%

• Athwartships: Typically ±0.25 knots for 0-10 knots* A fin type protruding sensor can also be fitted

than will improve accuracy to ±0.1 knot for 0-10 knots and ±1% for speeds above 10 knots.

Wind Speed and Direction Sensor

Nav-IS

• Commercial solid state 316 stainless steel ultrasonic sensor

• Maintenance free and reliable operation

• De-icing heaters are built in to provide continued performance at sea under heavy icing conditions.

• Two sensors are generally recommended to be fitted port & starboard sides with automatic change over to select windward sensor.

Wind Speed and Direction Sensor

Nav-IS

Performance:• Wind speed: 0-65m/s (approx 130knots)

• Wind speed accuracy: 2, 1% rms typical accuracy to 30 knots

• Wind direction: 0-359°

• Accuracy ±2° Resolution 1°

Alternative Low Cost Anemometer

Nav-IS

• Robust, corrosion free polycarbonate housing ultrasonic sensor

• Maintenance free and reliable operation

• NMEA 0183 + 2 analogue outputs

• Low power consumption

• Two sensors are generally recommended to be fitted port & starboard sides with automatic change over to select windward sensor.

Alternative Low Cost Anemometer

Temperature and Humidity Sensor

Nav-IS

• Solid state commercial air temperature and air humidity sensor with multi plate radiation shield

• Radiation shield provides naturally aspirated environment for the sensors to minimise the effects of solar radiation, which is UV stabilised for long term external exposure

• Dew point is also available (calculated from pressure, temperature and humidity being displayed on the MPC)

Temperature and Humidity Sensor

Nav-IS

Performance: • Temp sensor range: -40 to +70°C

• Accuracy: ±0.3°C at 25°C (±0.4°C over +5 to +40°C)

• Humidity Sensor Range: 0-100%

• Accuracy at 25°C: ±2% RH over 10-90%; ±4% over 0-100%

• Stability: Better than ±1%RH per year

• Recommended position: Behind bridge or in walkway in free flow air environment, but semi sheltered away from excessive salt spray

Barometric Air Pressure Sensor

Nav-IS

• Barometric air pressure sensor is mounted inside the Nav-IS Main Electronic Unit

Performance:• Operating Range: 500 to – 1100hPa • Output signal: Serial RS232 / RS485• Accuracy: 0.05% of pressure range (or

Advantages of Commercial Nav-IS EN60945 Log and Met System

Nav-IS

• Competitive EN60945 / EN61023 certified system* designed on proven technology and products that are already in service in many Navies world wide

• High levels of accuracy

• Very low maintenance requirements

• EM Log data as well as Meteorological data is displayed on the same MPC utilising different pages which offers both space and cost savings over dedicated repeaters

• Complete range of Meteorological sensors including Wind, Air Temperature, Humidity, Air Pressure, Sea Temperature

*All testing completed and final Wheelmark certificate expected September 2011.

Advantages of Commercial Nav-IS EN60945 Log and Met System

Nav-IS

• Large range of standard MPC pages for displaying Log, Wind and Meteorological data in both analogue and digital form for no additional cost, which provides space and cost saving benefits in terms of initial and through life costs compared to individual dedicated repeaters

• Further MPC’s can easily be incorporated into system in order to display the required data in different ship locations, driven from the serial NMEA messages

*All testing completed and final Wheelmark certificate expected September 2011.
