Unisyn System

The Ockam Unisyn system expands with your needs and may be structured to your specific requirements.

 The system can be configured to sense Boat speed, apparent wind angle and speed, heel, heading, waypoint range and bearing, forestay tension, rudder angle, temperature, and depth. It can also provide polar curve data, and interface to calculators and computers.

 As more inputs are added, available outputs increase.

 Unisyn is a new release of the Ockam System software (rev A16.3) that supports three new interface types.

 The software continues to support all standard interfaces, but some new features will not be activated unless the new interface/sensors are installed.

 The changes described are relative to standard CPU software A14.4. more

CPU.

 The core of the system is the CPU which acts as a power supply for the data bus (including displays, interfaces and some sensors) in addition to central processing of data. 

 Connection is simple  10.5 to 35 Volts DC supplied by the boat through a locking connector, and a single coax cable with BNC connector for data.

 Toggle switches allow power and display nightlight control; the CPU is of course easily wired to the boat’s breaker panel providing power and light switching at the panel.

 The rugged  Ockam CPU comes loaded with our latest  Unisyn  software (older CPU’s are easily upgraded to Unisyn status) and is triple fuse protected (power, ground and signal) with an external trouble light to aid in diagnostics.

 Backwards Compatible with pre-Unisyn Ockam systems.

 System functions are provided by combining sensors with interfaces.

Interfaces

  Each interface is associated with a single transducer type, and allows the system to display the discrete instrument functions associated with that transducer.

 But here is where the magic comes into play: combining two or more interfaces gives more functionality to the system.

 The most complicated system has nine interfaces, and can bend the mind of most sailors.

 However, this level of modules is not essential, at least not at first.

 But as your sailing ability increases so can your performance expectations by adding on interfaces and sensors.

 Any number of these modules may be connected to the system, but many combinations fail to provide synergism.

 For example, it would be pointless to have a polar curve module if the system doesn't also have Boat speed and wind interfaces, since true wind is the required input for the polar.

 The normal progression of interfaces are Boat speed, wind, compass, GPS, polar, and PC.

Displays

All Ockam displays  – 005 Standard Display, 007 Matryx, and 044 Magnum – are fully compatible with the Unisyn and Tryad Systems.

Sensors

Ockam allows you to select the exact sensor to meet your needs and budget because our interfaces are easily configured to accept different brands and models of sensors.  Typically, pricier sensors offer higher performance; but more modestly priced sensors can often be sufficient.  Again, you decide the right balance between price and performance.  And when something new hits the marketplace, your Ockam system is ready to go by switching a few input wires and dial settings on your existing interface.
