FinScan is an Australian designer and manufacturer of premium digital switching systems for marine and RV applications. With years of development and production behind it, FinScan touts itself as an innovator in the field of power distribution systems for the commercial and leisure marine sectors.
Its latest release, the Nucleus single-module system, is the central component of a DC Electrical system. It incorporates a power distribution module for DC electrical systems that provides all switching and circuit protection features needed to eliminate the necessity for any external DC electrical components such as relays and fuses.
The Nucleus allows an installer to install and set up a system in considerably less time, claims FinScan, adding that the new system also includes full battery and tank monitoring as standard.
The battery monitoring included with the system includes the reporting of two DC voltages, charge and discharge amps, amp hours consumed, and most importantly, a battery 'state of charge' gauge that accurately shows the state of the house battery, represented as a percentage in a recognisable fuel-type gauge.
Also included is the addition of Bluetooth connectivity and Finscan will be launching the Bluetooth-enabled Nucleus at the 2015 Sanctuary Cove International boat show. Once Connected with Bluetooth, a Nucleus owner can download the FinScan app from iTunes and Google Play to wirelessly achieve control and monitoring functionality from their tablet or smart phone.
The system is designed for small to medium vessels in its single module format to deliver maximum functionality and cost effectiveness. FinScan says its philosophy is to deliver systems that do not require specialist software, or training to install, set up and operate. FinScan will be conducting demonstrations of the Nucleus system during the Sanctuary Cove boat show.
