Position the wind sensor in the base with the arrow
pointing towards the bow. The meter will indicate 0
degrees for wind dead on the bow and 90 degrees
for a wind on the starboard beam, etc.
If the system is used as a land system then zero
degrees should correspond to North. Now position
the wind sensor in the base with the arrow pointing
towards North.
Apply a moderate force to push the wind sensor into the base, the sensor will 'snap'
and will be secured to the base.
In all cases ensure that the wind sensor is securely mounted so that excessive vibra-
tions are prevented.
Connections
For wiring diagram see page 14.
Connect the cable from the wind sensor as shown in the diagram.
If you need to cut and rejoin the cable be sure to connect colour to colour.
The windspeed/wind direction indicator is suitable for both 12 and 24 Volt DC.
Connect the power supply as per diagram.
Maintenance
Both the meters and the wind sensor are maintenance-free.
