GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO B&G NETWORK
The B&G Network range of instruments is designed to be used as individual units or connected together to form an integrated navigational system. A single network cable is used to carry data and power between units. The latest technology and screened cables throughout the Network System ensure the ultimate protection from interference between units and other systems. All Network instruments can be linked to Network PILOT, Network CHART, Network GPS or Network LORAN receivers or via NMEA 0183 (v1.5) to other navigational equipment.

INTRODUCTION TO NETWORK TACK
The Network TACK unit is a analogue Magnified Wind Angle repeater used for sailing on the wind or running, with a backlit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that can show other wind information selected by pressing one of the five keys. It has no sensor interfaces as all data is passed to the unit via the system network cables. Network TACK must be connected to a system that contains a Network WIND unit for wind data and a Network SPEED unit (for true wind and VMG functions) via the two network cable tails at the rear of the unit.
The unit is capable of transmitting NMEA 0183 v1.5 data via the network cables.
The five keys give the following selections:
•AWA Apparent Wind Angle
•TWS True Wind Speed
•TWA True Wind Angle
•VMG Velocity Made Good
•LIGHTS Three levels of illumination and off.

EXAMPLES SYSTEMS USING NETWORK TACK
Network QUAD, Network WIND and Network TACK units. Speed data being supplied from the Network QUAD unit for true wind and VMG functions.
Up to a maximum of four Network TACK units maybe used in an integrated Network Instrument System, where the total number of units does not exceed twenty.
Network SPEED, Network DEPTH, Network WIND and Network TACK. Speed data being supplied from Network SPEED unit for true wind and VMG functions.
The Network units can be connected together in any order as data is shared via the system network cable link.
