Summary of Contents for NASA Marine TWS-1

  • Page 3 TACTICAL WIND SENSOR (TWS-1). INTRODUCTION In demanding conditions, where high performance is essential, the TWS-1 wind sensor is the ideal choice. With ten updates every second it responds quickly to the changes of wind speed and direction which occur during tricky manoeuvers.
  • Page 4: Installing The Display

    INSTALLING THE DISPLAY. Select a convenient position for the DISPLAY on a panel or bulk-head. The site must be flat and the cavity behind the panel must remain dry at all times. (The cable entry is deliberately not sealed to ensure adequate ventilation. This prevents misting of the display).
  • Page 5 CONNECTING THE WIND SENSOR Run the cable down the mast through to the display and connect the three wires into the small three way block of the connector assembly supplied. Connect the 12 volt power supply, via a one amp fuse, to the black and red inputs as shown in FIG-2a.
  • Page 6 USING THE CLIPPER TRUE WIND DISPLAY Pressing ILLUM will increase the level of backlighting from level one through to level nine. The character at bottom left of the display will briefly show the new lighting level before returning to “A” for apparent wind, “T” for true wind or “L ” for boat speed.
  • Page 8 Prior to unpacking this instrument read and fully understand the installation instructions. Only proceed with the installation if you are competent to do so. Nasa Marine Ltd. will not accept any responsibility for injury or damage caused by, during or as a result of the installation of this product.
