Installation

Wind sensor

For dimensions see drawing at page 18.
The wind sensor should be fitted in a position unshielded from the wind and away from
any possible source of eddies which could give misleading readings. On a sailing boat
the mast head is the best position. If this is not practical, or on a vessel without a mast,
the unit should be located as high as possible in a position fully exposed to the wind.
Mount the base of the wind sen-
sor to a horizontal surface (e.g.
horizontal with the ship in his
normal position).
Feed the cable of the wind sensor
through the base.
Select for the wind sensor a
position at least 1 metre away
from a VHF antenna.
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 posi-
tion 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.
