Clipper Depth System - Nasa Marine Instruments (2024)

The Clipper Depth Repeater has its own independent alarm function as well as repeating all data from the master unit.

Note – this is not a stand alone unit and cannot be connected to a depth transducer.
It must be connecetd to the Clipper Depth master display unit.

Best selling combined Speed/Distance Log and Echo Sounder in standard 110mm square size. Suitable for open co*ckpit mounting.
The Clipper Duet is supplied complete with paddlewheel transducer (for installation on most types of GRP hulls) and in hull depth transducer.

All instruments in the Target Range come complete with sensors or transducers as appropriate and all necessary fittings. They are designed to run on 12v supply, but due to the very low power consumption there is no reason why they cannot run off dry batteries. They provides accurate readings for owners of sailing craft and powerboats alike. The biggest selling marine instrument world-wide is still the depth Sounder. In the Target Sounder you will find all the necessary features of much higher priced units including keel offset, shallow and deep water alarms, and a depth range of 1 – 100 metres.

The Clipper Wind NMEA Repeater has user a selectable pointer style and selectable wind speed scale. It requires the standard NMEA 0183 MWV data sentence.

(Supplied as standard equipment to the Clipper Wind V2 – 3 wire wind mast unit and the Clipper Wireless wind unit.)

The Clipper wireless wind is supplied with a wireless masthead transmitter, a base unit and a Clipper True Wind display unit. The wireless masthead transmitter is powered by an internal battery which is charged from ambient light using a small solar panel. A few dull days will not affect performance. When fully charged, it is capable of two thousand hours of full operation in total darkness. The masthead transmitter sends data wirelessly to the base unit, which is powered by the vessel’s 12 Volt supply, the base unit receives wind speed and direction data from the masthead transmitter and sends it to the display.

The Clipper True Wind display is in the industry standard 110mm square case. Exceptionally large and clear display with 60 segments for full 360 degree direction indication. The display shows apparent wind speed and direction and, when connected to a log or GPS, it can also show true wind speed and direction.

• Wireless wind speed and direction data to any compatible NMEA display
• Easy installation with mast in place – no wires to run down
• Simple masthead alignment through base unit
• Light mast unit weight – 190 grams

The BM-2 is designed to monitor performance of 12 volt lead acid battery systems with capacities of up to 999 Amp hours. It is supplied complete with a precision 200 AMP shunt and a prefabricated cable assembly to enable simple DIY installation. The unit continuously monitors voltage, current (charge or discharge), number of amp/hours (charge or discharge), the batteries state of charge and the time to charge or discharge. This information leads to more efficient use of the battery, which can enhance battery life and reduce the risk of failure.

The Clipper Compass is a fully electronic compass with remote fluxgate sensor. The large clear display has 7 levels of illumination and gives True or magnetic heading. The sensor which is gimballed for plus/minus 30 degrees of pitch and roll, is mounted in a position where stray magnetic fields are at a minimum. An electronic auto calibration then cancels out small errors.
Steer to course function
When the steering function is selected a series of chevrons accumulate showing the magnitude and direction of the steering error. To stay on course simply turn the wheel in the direction of the chevrons until they are extinguished. The steering sensitivity can be preset by the user. An off course alarm provides a safety feature when not at the helm. If the heading deviates by more than a preset amount then the alarm will sound.
