Before you begin, make sure that you have all the necessary components, templates and the correct tools for the job. Components · Active wind transducer and mounting components · Vane and anemometer · 30m or 50m (97. 5ft or 162ft) length of SeaTalk cable (part numbers D252 and D253 respectively) · Paper template · Scotchlock connectors Tools · 1. 5mm hexagonal key · 5mm drill bit · 6mm tap and tap wrench · Power drill · Pliers · Screwdrivers 4 ST80 Active Wind Transducer Installation 1. 2 Installing the Transducer General Points to Remember. . . · The head of the transducer should be pointing forwards. · If your vessel has an angular mast top, use a block to eliminate this angle. Procedures 1. Assemble the anemometer and wind vane to the transducer head. (1) Wind vane (2) Transducer head (3) Anemometer 1 2 3 D2524-1 2. Use the 1. 5mm hexagon key to tighten the anemometer and wind vane grub screws (see inset diagram). Apply the template to the top of the mast so that the arrow points towards the bow. Drill four 5mm holes into/through the top of the mast. Cut the threads for these holes using a 6mm tap. ST80 Active Wind Transducer Installation 5 6. The 30m (97. 5ft) or 50m (162ft) SeaTalk cable is supplied with SeaTalk connectors at both ends. To run this cable down the inside of the mast, the larger (flat) connector must be cut off. Make sure that you leave sufficient cable attached to this connector for rewiring. Assemble the active wind transducer to the top of the mast so that the SeaTalk cable goes through the top (or side) of the mast mounting base.

Twist the coupling until the location pins lock into position. Note: A wrench may be required to turn the bayonet coupling. ST80 Active Wind Transducer Installation 7 Joining the SeaTalk Cable Use a pair of pliers and the 3 "Scotchlock" connectors to rejoin the SeaTalk cable colour-for-colour. (1) SeaTalk connector (2) "Scotchlock" connectors (3) SeaTalk cable 2 3 1 D1566-1a 1. 3 Connecting the Transducer to SeaTalk Plug the SeaTalk cable into any ST80 3-way SeaTalk connector block or display head. If a 3-way SeaTalk connector block has not already been fitted, secure the block to a suitable bulkhead using the 16mm (5/8in) selftapping screws. SeaTalk D2344-1 8 ST80 Active Wind Transducer Installation The following diagram shows a typical SeaTalk system and the method of inter-unit connection.

Attach the red (+) and screen (­) wires to the positive (+) and negative (­) battery terminals. The positive line should also be fitted with a 5A fuse/circuit breaker.

Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but good installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product. 2. 2 Installation To avoid the risk of operating problems, all Autohelm equipment and cables connected to it should be: · At least 1m (3 feet) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals, e. g. , VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 2m (7ft). [. . . ] In general this will not damage the equipment but can lead to it resetting, or momentarily may result in faulty operation. 2. 4 Servicing and Safety · Autohelm equipment should be serviced only by authorised Autohelm service engineers. They will ensure that service procedures and replacement parts used will not affect performance. There are no user serviceable parts in any Autohelm product. [. . . ]
