WSO200 User's Manual
2. High Enough to have a clear view of the sky to the horizon in all directions unblocked by sails
or boat structures – The WSO200 provides the best readings when wind through it is
unimpeded by sails or structures on the boat.
2.3 Mounting the WSO200
The Maretron WSO200 can be mounted on top of a 1" 14 threads per inch standard marine pole
mount (Section 2.3.1).
2.3.1 Mounting the WSO200 to a Standard Marine Pole Mount
Screw the included WSO200 mounting bracket to the standard marine pole mount. If you do not
have a device capable of configuring installation offset in the WSO200, ensure that the pole
mount is oriented as follows: the pole mount base has three small holes for mounting screws
and one larger hole for the humidity sensor. Ensure that the small (mounting screw) hole which
is nearest the larger (humidity sensor) hole is oriented such that it faces directly forward in the
vessel. If you do have a device capable of configuring installation offset in the WSO200, you
may mount the sensor in any orientation and adjust for it by configuring the installation offset
appropriately (please refer to the display user's manual for details).
Route the NMEA 2000
and connect it to the WSO200 unit (see Section 2.4 below). Finally, attach the WSO200 to the
pole mount base using the included brass mounting screws and lock washers as shown in Figure
1. Do not use threadlocking compounds containing methacrylate ester, such as Loctite Red
(271), as they will cause stress cracking of the plastic enclosure.

•
When installing the WSO200 to a standard marine pole mount, be
sure to first screw the WSO200 mounting bracket to the pole mount.
Then, attach the WSO200 to the WSO200 mounting bracket with the
three screws which connect these two components. DO NOT first
attach the WSO200 mounting bracket to the WSO200 with the three
screws and then screw the entire assembly onto the pole mount.
Doing this will put excessive torque on the NMEA 2000 connector
from the attached cable and cause damage to the connector which is
not covered under the product warranty.
•
Likewise, when uninstalling the WSO200 from a standard marine pole
mount, be sure to first remove the three screws attaching the
WSO200 to the WSO200 mounting bracket. DO NOT first unscrew
the entire assembly from the pole mount before removing the three
screws. Doing this will put excessive torque on the NMEA 2000
connector from the attached cable and cause damage to the
connector, which is not covered under the product warranty.
