1 Introduction

General information

The IS20 Graphic is a multifunction instrument that

displays speed, depth, heading, position, wind and

environmental data measured by sensors and other

equipment connected to the system.

Navigational data, engine/battery status and vessel

parameters as e.g. accumulated log and rudder angle

may also be displayed.

The instrument calculates speed trim, wind head/lift,

trip distance and time, average speed, set and drift

parameters. A race timer is also included in the IS20.

Instrument layout

The IS20 has a 130 * 104 pixels LCD. The display may

be set to red or white illumination color, and the contrast

and light level are adjustable.

The instrument is equipped with 2 SimNet connectors,

and with one NMEA0183 input connector.

Keys

The instrument is operated by 6 keys. These are used to

adjust the light, scroll between data pages, to operate

the menu and to set parameter values.

Softkeys

When the basic operation of the

keys is changed, softkey symbols
