Exocet Release Box

The Exocet Release Box is a critical distribution box, designed as an essential accessory for the Exocet sail release system. It precisely controls the routing of compressed air to pneumatic actuators, such as release cleats, via an integrated set of solenoid valves.

Its primary role is to control the flow of compressed air from the air production unit to the pneumatic actuators. This component is essential to ensure rapid and secure release of manoeuvres, a critical aspect for safety and performance while sailing.

The Exocet Release Box operates in close synergy with other accessories in the Exocet range. It is the control link between the compressed air production unit, such as the Exocet Compressor Box (which handles production, purification, and storage of air), and the final actuators like the Exocet Release Cleat (a pneumatically controlled release cleat).

No, the Exocet Release Box executes the physical part of the sail release function by routing compressed air. Systems like Exocet Safety or Exocet Blue handle data acquisition and overall safety functions, including release commands.

The Exocet Release Box aligns with Pixel sur Mer's robust design philosophy. This approach, derived from offshore racing technologies, ensures high reliability and performance, even in demanding marine environments.

To operate, the Exocet Release Box requires a compressed air source, typically provided by the Exocet Compressor Box, and must be connected to the pneumatic actuators it controls, such as the Exocet Release Cleat. It must also be integrated into the overall control system to receive commands.

It is considered an essential accessory and a crucial component. It acts as a central element in the command chain of Pixel sur Mer's pneumatic safety systems, performing the physical part of this critical function.

The technical document does not provide specific information on the direct compatibility of the Exocet Release Box with Exocet Essential or Silver systems. It is described as essential to the sail release mechanism and integrates with the Exocet Compressor Box and the Exocet Release Cleat.

Yes, the Exocet Release Box, like all Exocet housings, is designed for secure integration. The robust Exocet Bracket is available and ensures optimal mounting while allowing easy removal without disassembly or unscrewing.

The Exocet Release Box directs compressed air to pneumatic actuators, such as release cleats, via an integrated set of solenoid valves. These solenoid valves precisely control the air flow.

The Exocet Release Box handles the physical function of sail release. It receives release commands from global data and safety management systems such as Exocet Safety or Exocet Blue, which manage data acquisition and safety functions including release orders.

Yes, the Exocet Release Box follows the robust design philosophy of Pixel sur Mer, derived from offshore racing technologies. This approach ensures high reliability and performance, making it suitable for demanding marine environments.

The Exocet Release Box integrates solenoid valves that require electrical power to operate. The detailed specifications of this power supply are not explicitly listed in the available information. It is designed to integrate into the overall Exocet ecosystem, which manages these aspects.

The Exocet Release Box is a key component of the sail release system. It ensures rapid and secure release of manoeuvres, particularly those controlled by pneumatic release cleats such as the Exocet Release Cleat. It is critical in situations requiring immediate release.

The provided information does not detail specific maintenance procedures for the Exocet Release Box. However, its robust design, derived from offshore racing technologies, ensures reliability and performance in marine environments.
