Smartswitch is a pioneer in the design and development of distributable intelligence controller
systems for the marine industry. The NV-2000 Navigational Light Monitor is a versatile,
compact, modern, stylish, user-friendly intelligent network system. Our Research and
Development Team has developed this system specifically for the marine environment using
proven techniques and materials, which will ensure a long life at sea.
The NV-2000 provides features found only in expensive computer-based systems on mega-
yachts, but does so for a fraction of the cost. It is an economical and capable alternative to
simplistic monitoring systems. The NV-2000 allows builders and retrofitters to offer a system
with maximum functionality thereby providing boat owners with excellent visibility into any alarm
condition.
System Overview
The NV-2000 Navigational Light Monitor has been developed to allow monitoring of up to 32
lights. It is a network system consisting of the NV-2000 Master Display Unit and up to 4
Input/Output Units located any where on the vessel. In addition, and as an option, any number
of NV-200 Remote Display Units may be added to provide additional displays throughout the
vessel.
A 2-wire network cable similar to that used for telephone installations interconnects all devices.
The Master Display Unit (MDU) controls communication with all attached I/O Units. System
components may be located anywhere on the network cable and the cable may be up to 1000
meters in length.
These features, unique to the NV-2000, provide boat builders and retrofitters maximum
flexibility in locating components onboard the vessel while minimizing wiring costs.
