At sea, maintenance and repairs can be a problem for any piece of equipment. That's why the ESZ-8000 was designed for reliability and easy upkeep. At Navidyne, every component is tested before it's mounted on a circuit board.

And because faults can occur during board assembly, we test each fully assembled board.

We even test the complete system during a factory "burn in" prior to delivery.

Once in service, the self-diagnostic capabilities of our system help you locate problems in the modular electronics unit. Circuit boards can be easily and inexpensively replaced, even at sea.
