How to connect to the Wind Transducers FI-5001/L

The IF-NMEAFI Analog Data Converter is required when connecting the Wind
Transducer FI-5001 or FI-5001L, in order to convert the analog data from the sensor
to CAN bus/NMEA2000 format data. When connecting the FI-70 to the FI-5001 or
FI-5001L, use the terminal box included with the FI-5001 or FI-5001L.
For details on installation of the IF-NMEAFI and FI-5001 or FI-5001L, refer to the
Installation Manual (IMC-72661) or Installation Guide (C72-01403).
