KEY FEATURES

The Aqua Compact Pro + utilises a 10th generation Intel Core i7 processor for modern 3D charting and radar overlay applications. This offers phenomenal processing power with 6 internal cores, 12 threads, 12MB on board cache and clock speeds of 1.1 to 4.7GHz. Despite this, average power consumption is around 25W keeping battery drain to a minimum.

The new Aqua Compact Pro+ now has a larger rugged 480GB solid state hard drive too and its fitted with 8GB of fast DDR4 RAM. In terms of connectivity, there are 4 x USB 3.1 ports and an audio headset connector. There’s a built in SD card reader – great for use with Timezero software or our SmarterTrack navigation software and Navionics data cards.

The new unit supports up to 3 displays via a dedicated HDMI connector and also a Thunderbolt/USB C connector which can support displays with an appropriate cable. If a third display is required, an external 3rd party USB C video splitter can be added. 7.1 multichannel digital audio is supported over these display connections too so it’s ideal as an on board media entertainment centre.

Network connectivity is provided by a wired Ethernet Gigabit port as well as the latest Intel wifi 6 card which supports 802.11ax protocols (2.4 and 5GHz with up to 3x bandwidth) and has built in Bluetooth 5 for easy connectivity

The Aqua Pro+ has found markets in commercial fishing where users want charting, radar and bathmetry/sonar overlays which demand fast 3D graphics. The Aqua Compact Pro+ is optimised for Maxsea TimeZero systems. We are also seeing many ocean racing yachts opt for these systems for the best in class animated weather routing displays. The new Aqua Compact Pro+ is also supplied with an external voltage stabiliser to ensure 100% reliability on low voltage systems which are affected by volt drops.

FAQs

The Aqua PC range uses a 10-30v DC system only so if you want to run at home you will need a 220v AC to 12v DC adaptor. These should be available at any electrical supplier.

Depending upon the model of Aqua PC you have, you will need a power supply that can provide up to 5 Amps of current at 12v.

They are simply not designed for the hostile marine environment with constant vibrations and momentum from the boat and of course they’re not designed for salty air. Laptops also consume large amounts of power and often you will need an inverter or adaptor to connect to the boat’s DC supply which introduces more losses and electrical noise. It’s a much neater solution to have a dedicated PC and display both in terms of functionality and reliability. With some simple engineering, you can install a monitor to swivel between chart table and saloon so it can become an entertainment as well as a navigation device.

The Aqua range of PCs from Digital Yacht are designed to be permanently installed and can connect direct to the boats DC electrical system. They consume minimal power and are completely solid state with no moving parts. Despite their impressive performance they are as affordable as a good quality laptop and can support multiple monitors.

The Aqua PC uses a special power supply designed for commercial lorries that senses when the ignition switch is turned on/off and then powers up/down the PC. We have used this feature to allow our customers to fit a remote power switch (replicating the switch on the front of the PC) which is useful on a boat when the PC system unit is buried away somewhere safe (but difficult to access).

When 12v is detected on the white wire, the PC will power up, as if you pressed the push switch on the front of the PC. When the 12v is removed from the white wire the PC will start its power down sequence. The power board will keep supplying power to the Aqua PC during the power down cycle but after 2 minutes, the voltage will be cut and the Aqua PC will be in a very low power <5mA state rather than the normal standby state that most normal PCs go to after shut down that continuously consumes 0.15 Amps.

So, to fit a remote power switch simply connect a conventional On/Off switch; either toggle on/off type or a push on/off switch (not momentary type) between the white wire and red wire (boat’s 12v or 24v supply voltage).

A normal hard drive on a PC consists of several moving parts.  Not only do these consume more power to run, but they are very sensitive to motion as all the parts must work in exact synchronisation in order for the data to be read, meaning a hard drive is not ideally suited for use on a pitching boat in heavy seas.

A solid-state drive has no moving parts at all – data is stored in Flash memory.  As there are no moving parts, a solid-state drive consumes less power and performs well under all sea conditions.
