Codi d'activació del CPU H5000 Hèrcules a Performance

This is a software upgrade in the form of an activation code. It is not a physical product. The code unlocks advanced features on a B&G H5000 Hercules navigation processor to upgrade it to the Performance level.

Upgrading to the Performance level unlocks several advanced features for complex systems:

Dual wind transducer support: Ensures reliable wind data readings, even if one is obscured by sails.Dual rudder support: Monitors the angle of each rudder and calculates the toe-in angle.Multiple appendage tracking: Manages data from several appendages (port, starboard, center) and calculates active draft.Rate of Turn data: Provides information on the boat's rotation speed.Ground wind calculation: Computes wind speed and direction relative to the ground.

No, this code is exclusively designed to upgrade a B&G H5000 Hercules-level CPU. It is not compatible with Hydra-level H5000 CPUs or other navigation systems.

The installation is purely software-based. Once the code is purchased, you must enter it directly in the configuration interface of your H5000 system. No hardware intervention or physical modification of your equipment is required.

This upgrade is specifically designed for large offshore cruising sailboats, racing multihulls, and superyachts. It is particularly useful for boats equipped with complex and redundant instrumentation systems, such as multiple wind sensors, rudders, or daggerboards.

Yes, you can apply the upgrade. However, to fully benefit from new features such as twin rudder or twin wind transducer support, the corresponding hardware must be installed and connected to your H5000 system.

The Hercules level is the foundation for racing, with features such as 3D motion correction. The Performance level, enabled by this code, adds superior computing capabilities to manage redundant and complex hardware configurations (dual sensors, multiple appendages), which is crucial for very large sailboats and racing multihulls.

Code activation is a procedure that can generally be performed by the user via the H5000 system interface. However, if you are not familiar with configuring your system, the assistance of a qualified B&G technician is recommended to ensure correct installation.

The upgrade does not change the intrinsic accuracy of your sensors. However, by enabling redundant sensor management (e.g., two wind vanes), it ensures greater reliability and continuity of data, which can indirectly lead to better performance based on more comprehensive information.

No, this specific code (000-11759-001) is only for upgrading Hercules to Performance. B&G offers other codes to transition from Hydra to Hercules. You must purchase the code corresponding to your current processor and the feature level you wish to achieve.

The toe-in angle is the difference in angle between the two rudders. On multihulls and some modern monohulls, adjusting this angle is crucial to optimize hydrodynamic lift and reduce drag. The Performance upgrade allows the H5000 CPU to calculate and display this critical data for performance optimization.

No, activation via code is a permanent upgrade. Once the H5000 processor has been upgraded to the Performance level, it is not possible to revert to the previous feature level.

Yes, the new data calculated by the H5000 CPU (such as true wind, angle of attack, etc.) will be available on your boat's NMEA 2000 network. You can display them on compatible H5000 series displays and B&G Zeus multifunction displays.

The H5000 processor uses algorithms to automatically select the most reliable wind transducer data, typically the one not disturbed by the mainsail. This ensures more accurate and stable wind readings, especially when sailing downwind on large sailboats.

The serial number of your H5000 processor is usually accessible via the diagnostic or system information menus on your B&G display. It may also be printed on a physical label directly on the processor's housing.

Calculating ground wind does not require an additional wind sensor. The H5000 processor uses data from your wind transducer/vane anemometer (apparent wind) along with speed and course over ground (SOG and COG) data from your GPS to compute the true wind speed and direction relative to a fixed point.

It is strongly recommended to ensure your H5000 processor and the entire B&G system have the latest available software (firmware) version. This guarantees optimal compatibility and stability when activating new features.

No, the activation license is tied to the serial number of a specific H5000 processor. It cannot be transferred to another device. If you replace your CPU, a new license must be purchased for the new hardware.

On racing sailboats or large multihulls, the precise position of keels or foils has a major impact on performance and stability. The Performance level allows the system to track the position of multiple appendages, calculate the active draft, and provide this essential data to the crew for optimal real-time adjustments.
