GNX™ 52 wired sail pack

The GND™ 10 box acts as a critical data bridge. It connects Nexus® network devices, such as high-end wind sensors (e.g., gWind Race™), to an existing NMEA 2000® network on your boat. With its USB connectivity, it also enables fine calibration of these sensors via NexusRace™ software and the use of their precise data in racing programs.

Yes, this pack is particularly well suited for racing. The GND™ 10 interface allows connection of advanced wind sensors such as the gWind Race™ and use of their precise data with navigation and racing software like Expedition® or Adrena®. The fine calibration capability via NexusRace™ and clear display on the GNX 52 make it a high-performance solution for demanding sailors.

The GND™ 10 housing dimensions are 170 mm height x 90 mm width x 50 mm depth (6.7 x 3.5 x 2 inches).

The recommended operating temperature range for the GND™ 10 housing is -15°C to 70°C (5°F to 158°F).

The GND™ 10 housing has an IPX7 ingress protection rating. This means it can withstand accidental immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for a maximum of 30 minutes.

Yes, the GNX™ 52 pack is fully compatible with NMEA 2000® networks. The GND™ 10 unit is specifically designed to connect to an NMEA 2000® network on your boat to share data from devices connected to the Nexus® network.

Yes, the GND™ 10 unit is designed to link high-end wind sensors, such as the gWind Race™ (which uses the Nexus® network), to your boat’s NMEA 2000® network. A mast cable with a field-installable connector is included for this connection.

The GND™ 10 acts as a bidirectional data bridge. It has dedicated ports for the Nexus® network and connects to the NMEA 2000® network via an NMEA 2000 drop cable. It translates data between these two protocols, allowing Nexus® devices to communicate with the NMEA 2000® network and vice versa.

Yes, the GND™ 10 unit can be connected to a computer using the included USB cable. This connection allows advanced sensors such as the gWind Race™ to be calibrated via the NexusRace™ software and enables the use of wind sensor data with third-party navigation programs.

When selecting a mounting location for the GND™ 10, the following factors must be considered:

The device must be installed in an area not exposed to extreme temperatures or conditions.To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device must not be installed closer than the 10 cm safety distance from a compass.Always check what is on the other side of the surface before drilling or cutting to prevent damage to the vessel.

To avoid any interference with a magnetic compass, the GND™ 10 housing must not be installed closer to the compass than the specified safe distance, which is 10 cm (3.9 inches).

To install the GND™ 10 housing, follow these steps:

Determine the mounting location. Use the device as a template to mark the two pilot hole locations on the mounting surface. Using a 1/8 in (3 mm) drill bit, drill the pilot holes. Use the included screws to secure the device to the mounting surface. If the included screws are not suitable for the surface, appropriate mounting hardware must be purchased separately.

If you connect additional devices alongside a gWind™ sensor on the Nexus® network, you must provide a separate power supply connected directly to the Nexus power terminals. For a single gWind™ sensor, powering via the GND™ 10 is usually sufficient.

No, damages resulting from extreme temperatures and their consequences are not covered by the warranty. It is essential to install the GND™ 10 in a location where it will not be exposed to temperatures or conditions beyond its specified operating range of -15°C to 70°C.
