Introduction
The Triton2is a networked multifunction instrument. The display
shows data measured by sensors and other equipment connected
to the system.
The unit calculates speed, wind, trip distance and time, average
speed, set and drift. A race timer is also included.
If a compatible autopilot computer is connected to the network, the
Triton2will also display autopilot status.
The autopilot can be controlled by the optional Triton2Pilot
controller. The Triton2can then be used as the autopilot display, and
full autopilot functionality will be available.

page 72.
Display mode
The Triton2unit can be set up as an instrument only, as an autopilot
display only, or as a combination of those two display modes.
•Instrument display only: Displays active data pages. The Autopilot
page can be one of these data pages
•Autopilot display only: Displays only the autopilot page
Basic operation | Triton2 Operator manual 11

•Autopilot display when engaged: Switches automatically to the
Autopilot page when the autopilot is switched to an automatic
mode. When the autopilot is switched to Standby mode the
display switches back to the previous page. This behaviour does
not require that an Autopilot page is selected as one of the 8
enabled data pages
The Display mode dialog has the following additional options:
•Show MOB: Switches automatically to the MOB page if a Man
Over Board event is triggered from another system on the
network. Refer to "ManOverBoard(MOB)" on page 13
•Show autopilot advanced settings: Displays all available autopilot
settings. Refer to "Sailing(H5000)" on page 50.
Selecting a data page
The Triton2includes 16 predefined data pages, but only 8 of these
can be enabled.
For detailed information about pages, refer to "Pages" on page 15.
Two options are available for selecting an enabled page:
•Directly selecting a page
•Scrolling pages
For automatic page scrolling, refer to "Automaticscrollingpages" on page
15.
Directly selecting a page
Press and hold the Pages key to display a list of enabled pages, then:
•use the arrow keys to select the page you want to display
•confirm your selection by pressing the Enter key
If you don't confirm your selection the menu will timeout and the
highlighted page will be displayed after 3 seconds.
Scrolling through enabled data pages
Press the Pages key to scroll through the enabled data pages.
12 Basic operation | Triton2 Operator manual

Man Over Board (MOB)
ÚNote: MOB and AIS-SART will only work with a B&G
Multifunction Display (MFD) on the network.
If a Man Over Board event is triggered from another system on the
network, the instrument automatically switches to the MOB page.
This function can be enabled/disabled from the Display setup
dialog. Refer to "Displaymode" on page 11.
The MOB page shows the position, the range and the bearing of the
MOB at the position the MOB function was activated. If the man
over board event is activated via an AIS-SART, the MOB position is
updated via the AIS-SART signal.
ÚNote: If you have an H5000 CPU on the network the CPU will
perform dead reckoning calculations to provide the estimated
position of the man over board. This estimated position will be
displayed as a triangle symbol.
