Installing The Weather Station Instrument - Furuno WS-200 Operator's Manual

1.4 Installing the Weather Station Instrument

Before beginning the installation, note the following points:
• The blue metal plate and the blue film found in the wind channel of the Weather
Station instrument are essential to its operation (see the figure below). Be care-
ful not to scratch the plate, puncture the film, or damage them in any way.
• Do not remove the waterproof connector(s) to ease cable routing. If the cable
must be cut and spliced use a suitable splash-proof junction box. Cutting the
cable or removing the waterproof connector(s), except when using a junction
box, will void the sensor warranty.
• The Weather Station instrument must be installed vertically—NOT tilted to one
side.
