[. . . ] 0 1 2 Introduction Thank you for choosing FI-30 Wind Data instrument. We are convinced that you will appreciate all the valuable information either you are a cruiser or a racer. It is important that you are following this instruction regarding installation and operation. If the instrument are to be used in a Nexus Network, there are some systems settings that are dependent on where the transducers are installed, i. e. [. . . ] On the Wind Data display you will see both the digital value in % and the graphical value as a 2% variation for each segment. You may select "speeds" to TRIM, from this list: BSP AWS TWS SOG DRF WCV VMG TBS Boat speed Apparent Wind Speed True Wind Speed Speed Over Ground Drift Speed towards a waypoint Velocity Made Good Optimum speed based on polar diagram Function is OFF Log transducer!PC + NMEA 0183 through FI-30 Server! OFF When [BSP] (or other function) is selected, the dampening [d3] is flashing. Select dampening level and confirm with SET. The text [% OFF] is then displayed to show that the function is selected, but no reference is yet set. The display will now show you the text [%] toggling with text [BSP] or whatever trim you have selected. The speed variation is expressed in % from set value. Press the SET every time you wish to set a new trim reference value. There is an option to use an external trim button to set a new trim reference. Each sector represents 2% 5. 6 More functions in a Nexus Network By adding (or using) the Wind Data instrument in the Nexus Network, more functions will be added if the corresponding transducer is connected. The Wind Data functions may be added or removed by the user. The Wind Data instrument can be used in a small Network together with the Multi, Log or analogue instrument, without a Server. In order to make the installation easy when using both log and Wind transducer in a small Network we recommend you to install with connection kit art. no. Only one cable will carry the signals to the instrument, then there is one Network/power cable to the Multi or Log instrument. When using the Wind Data in a bigger Network with more then 3 transducers, we recommend you to use the FI-30 Server. Only one cable will be used to connect all instruments. You will also have the NMEA 0183 input/output. If you need to be able to read the depth information on more then one instrument, the Server is the only choice. Network bonus function: If you are using the race timer on the Multi or Log instrument you will have a graphical 60 second countdown timer "popping up" on this instrument. In this example there is 45 second to start. 21 5. 6. 1 Geographic Wind direction (TWD) To get this function, set NAV = On C14 (See 6. 1. 4). Text [TWD] is displayed shortly, then is the abbreviation for Wind directions displayed, [SSW], [NO], [WNW] etc. together with the numerical direction below. The graphic direction is also displayed by pressing PAGE one or more times until the display to the right is displayed together with the "pointer". [. . . ] · If the voltmeter shows 1. 5 to 4 V DC (minimum Wind speed 3 m/s) at both measuring points, the transducer and the connections are OK. · If the voltmeter shows 0 or 5 V DC at both measuring points, the transducer or the connections are defect.
