1 INTRODUCTION The Apparent Wind Monitor features 4 functions. The Apparent Wind Monitor electrically isolates the wind sensor line (cable and mast head unit), which is the part of the installation the most exposed to storm surges and short-circuits due to wires’ chafing. The Apparent Wind monitor corrects the wind data from the boat’s accelerations;...
- Automatic: Depending on the sensors' condition, the Apparent Wind monitor selects the sensor to be used, giving priority to the main sensor, Nr 1. In case of a short circuit on the Input 1, the Apparent Wind Sensor switches automatically to Input 2 if there is a sensor connected to that port.
3 SETTING UP THE APPARENT WIND MONITOR. The Apparent Wind Monitor setup is done with a Multigraphic V2.4 or newer. WARNING To set up one of the wind sensors (Offset, True Wind table, mast height...), place the selector on the relevant sensor. The Apparent Wind Monitor integrates the wind tables for one sensor only.
3.1.2 Setup with a Multidisplay The mast height setup is done with a Multidisplay in the same way as with a Multigraphic. In the sensor menu, select Apparent Wind Speed, and then the height value. Enter the value and confirm with OK. 3.2 Mast angle setup Done by your installer: Enabling the mast angle function (if a sensor is connected): The mast angle function is disabled by default (factory settings) on the Apparent...
- Setting up the mast angle coefficient Reset = full factory reset of the Apparent Wind Monitor's mast angle part. 3.2.2 Setting up the Mast Angle with a Multidisplay The mast angle setup is done with a Multidisplay in the same way as with a Multigraphic.
4 INSTALLATION warning Turn the power supply off before doing any work on the TOPLINE Bus. The Apparent Wind Monitor must be mounted on a vertical bulkhead with the face turned to the boat's aft (standard mounting) or to the bow (reverse mounting). It must be perfectly horizontal for the best denoising result.
4.1 Wiring from the Apparent Wind Monitor To open the housing, you access the screws located below the two side flaps. Use a cross-head screwdriver to open the housing. Run the sensor’s cables through the dedicated glands. Use silicone grease to facilitate the cables passage.
