OPERATION MANUAL
Thank you for choosing NEXUS NX2600 NAVTEX receiver. The NAVTEX
receiver is used for receiving meteorological or navigational information via
a simple connection to any personal computer (PC) or a NEXUS NX2600
VHF transceiver.
4 INTRODUCTION TO PC KIT
The NEXUS NAVTEX receiver is a complete NAVTEX receiver/decoder
unit, contained within a waterproof antenna unit. This unit outputs data in
RS422 format. This can output its data for display on the NEXUS NX2500
VHF radio in its ’NAVTEX mode’ OR on a PC running the NEXUS custom
software supplied. Alternatively it may be used by using the Hyperlink or
Terminal software supplied with Windows as standard*. It may also be
used by third party software such as Tsunamis etc who ask for and utilise
a NAVTEX input.
*The Terminal software utility supplied with
Windows98 2000 and Windows XP.
5 INSTALLATION
Mount the NAVTEX antenna unit onto any standard antenna base (a
choice is available allowing rail mounting/bracket mounting or mounting on
any flat surface – see your dealer for details). Site the antenna in a clear
position well clear of any sources of RF interference (this includes the PC
or NX2500 that it is connected to and any GPS/Radar antennas). A typical
installation on a yacht may be on the pushpit, on a power boat on top of
the wheelhouse or on the radar arch (either above or below the scanner).
The Antenna is supplied with 15 metres of interconnecting cable.
If you are connecting to a PC via the converter box, connect to the USB
port of the PC and also supply a 12 Volt power source to power the
NAVTEX antenna (see Fig.2).
