Page 4: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing nke and the PROCESSOR HR. You have purchased a processor that sits at the heart of a system which provides the autopilot, the navigation programme, the tactician, the crew and of course the skipper all the data they require. The data provided is optimised for accuracy, responsiveness and performance. - Page 5 Allows the on board PC to operate in standby mode while getting the performance data on the nke displays. The Processor HR enhances the wind data (faster refresh and less noise). As a consequence, the autopilot steering is optimized and reduces the use of the ram’s motor.

Page 7: Installation Of The Processor Hr
Installation of the Processor Regatta with an existing nke system As a first step, you need to update every component connected to the Topline network. This is done with the « Toplink2 » software, or alternatively you can send the units to nke customer support. - Page 8 If the instruments connected to the bus are not up to date with the latest firmware version, the PROCESSOR HR cannot work and an error message is displayed in the "Main Events" log to indicate the out of date instrument.

Page 9: Adding The Processor Hr To Your Nke System
When all the sensors, displays and interface units have been upgradedcompatible with the Processor HR and fully working, you are ready to add the Processor HR to the network. Once in place, it will become the Master. Therefore, the existing Master has to be deleted so that the Topline network is clean of any Master. - Page 10 Fixed light - Processor is out of work or booting. Once the PROCESSOR HR has started (Blue LED blips every 3 seconds), you can give a new node number to the Gyropilot Graphic which has been used previously to check the system.

Page 37: Calibrating The Compass
Calibrating the compass Please refer to the calibration section in the sensor’s manual. Roll and pitch calibration The calibration of these parameters can be achieved using a digital or laser level. Place the level on the reference surface indicated by the architect. The 3D Sensor or Compass Regatta must be free from any heavy metal presence such as a pontoon or a cargo ship within a 20 meters radius. -

Run 1: Run 2: 0.88 0.92 The calibration adjustment is: Calibration using SOG as the reference: With this method you need to motor at ten knots on two consecutive runs at opposite headings (in order to eliminate the effect of the current). Both runs must be of equivalent distance. -
Page 39: Calibrating For Drift
For that purpose, a table « BtSpdHeel.txt » is available in the Processor HR at the following address: ftp://root:pass@192.168.0.232/mnt/flash/processor/tables It can also be accessed from the home page by pressing the « Calibration » button, and further the « Boat Speed vs Heel » button. -
Page 40: Using A Drift Calibration Adjustment Value
Heel angle also has an influence on wind speed measurement. For all these reasons we recommend calibrating for wind speed. The correction table « Adjvt.d » is available in the Processor HR at the following address: ftp://root:pass@192.168.0.232/mnt/flash/processor/tables... - Page 41 This is a very sensitive table and we recommend you use with the highest care. Always save the modifications by pressing "Save File". Once the file has been saved, you must reboot the Processor HR for the changes to be taken in account. This is done by pressing "Reboot Processor".
