Detailed description
Detailed description
The PIXEL Exocet Essential Keyboard is a 6-button control keypad specifically designed to optimize interaction with the Exocet Essential navigation system from PIXEL. Positioned as a dedicated interface, this keypad offers precise and responsive control of piloting overlays, essential for competitive sailing. It stands out for its intuitive ergonomics, allowing navigators to quickly access key functions of the autopilot and associated systems.
Positioning and Integration in the Exocet Ecosystem
This keypad integrates within a complete range of Exocet accessories, designed to extend the capabilities of embedded systems. Unlike the Exocet Safety Keyboard, which has 12 buttons for advanced control of the Exocet Safety (including specific functions such as alert acknowledgment or sail release), the Exocet Essential Keyboard focuses on the primary commands of the Exocet Essential system. The Exocet Essential system itself is a high-performance 3-in-1 unit, combining a sail processor, a data manager, and an autopilot optimizer. It handles the acquisition, processing, and retransmission of navigation data (wind, attitudes, performance, GPS) and optimizes the performance of autopilots such as the B&G H5000.
Key Technical Features
The Exocet Essential Keyboard is the direct interface for exploiting the capabilities of the Exocet Essential processor, including its advanced management of true wind and leeway, as well as trajectory optimization. While the Exocet Essential system handles automatic sensor failure management, customizable alerts, and the man-overboard (MOB) function, the keypad provides the physical means to interact with these critical functions. Designed for simplified connectivity within the Exocet ecosystem, it ensures stable transmission of commands, complementing a system already compatible with marine standards NMEA2000 and NMEA0183, and navigation software such as Adrena and Expedition.
