WSDI-2 wind display to form a complete wind system. The WSS 500 series can also be used as wind sensor for previous DEIF wind displays, such as WSDI and 879, in which case it must be connected via an interface box. -
Page 4: Unpacking
User’s Manual/Installation Note Unpacking The WSS 500 series sensor is delivered in a cardboard box. Inside this box, the sensor is packed in a white foam box (called a protection cap), which is supposed to stay on, until the sensor is mounted in the mast. -
Page 5: Mounting The Wind Sensor
WSS 500 Series User’s Manual/Installation Note 2. Mounting the wind sensor Placing of the wind sensor Ideally, the wind sensor should be placed far from large objects that might influence the measuring results; however, in practice this is normally not possible on-board a ship. The best result is achieved by placing the wind sensor at the top of a mast in the opposite end of the superstructure. - Page 6 WSS 500 Series User’s Manual/Installation Note Mount the WSS Remove the protective cap To ensure that the display represents the precise wind direction relative to the ship, the wind sensor must be aligned correctly. That is, when mounting the wind sensor, the arrow on...

The black rubber heads are known to attract some birds’ attention because of the click-sound they give off. The bird avoidance kit is mounted as standard on the WSS 500 series and can be purchased as an optional extra to mount on previous WSS versions. - Page 8 WSS 500 Series User’s Manual/Installation Note 3. Check that the kit sits tightly on the WSS 500 series sensor. ¾” pipe thread: Outer diameter: 1.04 inch (26.4 mm), 14 threads per inch IMPORTANT! The stainless steel mounting base on the WSS 500 series sensor must be connected to earth (for example the steel hull).

879.50/879.521 or WSDI The special upgrade kit should be used when an existing 879.3c dynamic wind sensor is to be replaced with a new WSS 500 series sensor and connected to a display type 879.50/879.521 or WSDI. The interface box type WSI is needed to translate the RS-485 data signal from the WSS 500 series into a speed and direction TTL signal appropriate for the 879.50/879.521 or WSDI display. - Page 21 *) The screen should only be connected to WSDI-2 terminal 8 in case of problems with electrical noise. IMPORTANT! The stainless steel mounting base of the WSS 500 series sensor must be connected to earth (for example the steel hull).
