Overview

1-1 Overview
The Simrad NX40/45 is a rugged, highly integrated
marine chartplotter and fishfinder. It is easy to use and
has a high resolution color display. Complex functions
can be performed with only a few key presses, taking the
hard work out of boating.
The available functions depend on the optional sensors
and instruments that are installed:
• The Video window requires the NX40/45 to receive
video from a compatible source, such as a camera.
• Fuel functions require fuel sensors to be installed.
• SmartCraft engine functions require a SmartCraft
system to be installed. For information on using
SmartCraft, see the SmartCraft Gateway Installation
and Operation Manual.
• The NX40/45 can send data to other instruments,
such as an autopilot, and receive data from other
instruments.
• Radar functions require an optional Simrad radar
system to be installed.
• AIS functions require an optional AIS receiver to be
installed.
For information on installation options.
This manual describes how to install and operate the
NX40/45. Special terms are explained in Appendix C. For
