Detailed description

Designed for seamless integration within NKE systems, the NKE Gyro 3 watertight angle sensor is a versatile solution for precise measurement of rudder angle, rotating mast, or keel angle. It is a key component for NKE GyroPilot 3 autopilot systems, providing essential data collection for performance.

Precision and durability for demanding marine applications

The NKE Gyro 3 watertight angle sensor offers a resolution of 0.3° for rudder angle (range from -40° to +40°) and 0.1° for mast angle (range from -170° to +170°). These precision levels are crucial for autopilot systems, enabling fine and responsive corrections. Its design ensures resistance to over 5 million cycles, guaranteeing longevity in harsh marine environments. It also features IP67 watertightness for the sensor itself and IP54 for the interface, making it suitable for exposure to the elements.

Integration and versatility in the NKE ecosystem

This sensor integrates directly into the NKE bus, providing essential data to the GyroPilot 3 computer. It can be mechanically connected to a tiller arm or quadrant for rudder angle measurement, or adapted for rotating masts and keels. The NKE analog interface allows displaying this sensor's data on all NKE Topline displays, including customizable dynamic channels. With a 10 to 16Vdc power supply and a 15mA consumption, it is optimized for efficient onboard integration. Its weight is 450g with the sensor arm interface, or 480g with the pulley and sensor interface for mast angle measurement.

Expert opinion

« Analyse technique du capteur d'angle NKE Gyro 3 pour systèmes NKE »

Le capteur d'angle étanche NKE Gyro 3 est un composant fondamental pour la précision des systèmes de navigation et de pilotage automatique NKE, en particulier pour les voiliers de performance et les unités nécessitant une gestion fine des appendices. Sa valeur d'usage réside dans sa capacité à fournir des données d'angle de barre, de mât tournant ou de quille avec une résolution élevée, informations capitales pour optimiser les performances sous voile ou stabiliser le navire.

Pour l'installation, ce capteur demande une connexion mécanique précise à l'élément à mesurer (barre, mât ou quille) et une intégration au bus NKE. L'aspect "étanche" (IP67 pour le capteur) est essentiel pour une fiabilité à long terme dans les fonds de coque ou les zones exposées. Bien qu'il ne soit pas un capteur "plug & play" au sens le plus simple, l'installation est standard pour un équipement de cette nature, nécessitant un raccordement électrique 10-16Vdc et une configuration logicielle minimale au sein de l'écosystème NKE. Il s'adresse aux utilisateurs souhaitant une solution intégrée et performante avec leur système GyroPilot 3 ou tout autre affichage NKE Topline.
