FIRST START UP The first time you start the Triton Edge sailing processor and access the web interface, prompts will guide you through system settings such as naming your sailing processor, choosing your preferred units for data, and setting the time zone. This onboarding process is only repeated following a factory reset.
THE WEB INTERFACE: MAIN MENU Toggle the list icon (1) on the main menu to reveal the list of menus, or collapse the list to give yourself more room on-screen. Note: Items may be arranged differently when viewed on differently sized screens. ¼...
SETUP GUIDE The Setup guide opens automatically following the onboarding sequence. Follow the prompts and complete the tasks in the order they’re presented. Some data-entry and source selection tasks can be completed on your vessel At the dock (A). Tasks listed under On the water (B) require you to maneuver the vessel at sea.
Review depth offset Enter an offset so that the depth reading displays depth below keel or, if preferred, depth measured from the water surface. To revisit this task later, navigate to Sailing data > Sensors > Depth. Review GPS offsets Enter the positions of each of your GPS receivers, relative to vessel’s bow, to get accurate start line values. To revisit this task later, navigate to Sailing data > Sensors > GPS > Operations.
DASHBOARD The dashboard provides an overview of key readings and operations without you accessing different menus. A Sensors—Gives an overview of core selected sensors. Note: A red background indicates that data may not be valid, and you should review the sensors ¼...
SAILING DATA AND SENSORS Sailing data Open the Sailing data (1) menu, and select a category (2) to display readings for that category. Select a reading (3) to open the data and sensors card associated with that reading. Readings are in real-time, with the refresh rate determined by the damping value. Note: The units of measurement can be changed via Preferences under the main menu.
Sensors The Sensors menu is on the right of the Sailing data screen, and is used to access data cards and settings for core connected sensors. Values from these sensors are also displayed on the Dashboard. Live data value—This is derived from the inputs and operations applied. Directly used by—Lets you know which calculations depend on the live data value.
CORRECTIONS AND TARGETS Correction tables allow you to correct boat speed and true wind direction tack to tack by applying offsets at different wind speeds or heel angles. The data from the polar table is used for the Target boat speed and Target true wind angle displayed on the Start line screen, and is available for all connected displays.
Edit a correction table Select the enlarge icon (1) at the top right of a correction table or polar table to open its graph full screen. This allows you to view the legend for the different wind speeds (A), and to access the data for editing (2).
Edit or upload a polar table When a polar table (or correction table) is open for editing, you can select the pencil icon (A) at the top of the screen to change the title of the table. Select an entry in the table, (1), to overwrite the value for true wind angle (TWA) or boat speed (BSP). When a polar table is open full-screen, Load from file (2) allows you to search your connected device for a polar table and upload it to Triton Edge.
START LINE Race timer The race timer (A) can be used to count down to zero from a specified time. Use the - (1) and + (2) buttons to adjust the race timer. Use the Start/Pause (3) button to start, pause, and resume the countdown. Note: The option to start a data recording when the race timer starts its countdown is found under ¼...

Export recorded files With the Triton Edge connected to a laptop, tablet, or phone, navigate to the Data recording screen to see the list of recorded files. Select the export icon (1) beside a recording of interest to export that file to the laptop, tablet, or phone in .gpx or .csv format.
HERCULES EXPANSION Hercules Expansion is an optional, separate processor that extends your system with further configurable inputs. Note: To install a Hercules Expansion, refer to the instructions in the Hercules Expansion Installation ¼ Guide. Hercules Expansion and the sensors connected to it are visible under the Inputs/Outputs menu on the same web interface as your Triton Edge.
Page 25
The diagram at the top of the Inputs/Outputs menu shows the six configurable ports on the Hercules Expansion circuit board. Select Configure (3) beside the name of the connector, or select the connector on the diagram, to list the inputs and outputs (channels) for that port. Select an individual channel from the menu (4) to configure that channel, or to view data on the channel if the channel has already been configured.
HV DISPLAYS A B&G HVision display (HV display) connected to the NMEA 2000 network can be configured using the ® Triton Edge web interface. Note: The HV displays menu is only visible when one or more HV displays are connected. ¼...

Name—Select to edit the name of a display. If you have several HV displays on the network, renaming them according to their location might help you identify them for easy configuration. Display group—Assign the display to a display group to change settings for that group of displays simultaneously.
SOFTWARE UPDATES Software updates for Triton Edge are released from time to time and we recommend installing these as they become available. Install a software update Your sailing processor will automatically check for software updates when it’s connected to the internet. When a software update is available, the notification Version X now available (A) appears on the web interface’s main menu.
Update from file Alternatively, you can download an update file to a tablet or laptop from the the B&G website, www.bandg.com/downloads. After downloading the update file to your mobile device, install the update on Triton Edge, by connecting your mobile device to Triton Edge and using the web interface to navigate to General > System information > About > Software version.
