Installing - Airmar PB200 Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

Installing

WARNING: Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask.
CAUTION: The blue metal plate and the blue film found in the wind channel of the
WeatherStation Instrument are essential to its operation (see Figure 3). Be careful
not to scratch the plate, puncture the film, or damage them in any way.
CAUTION: Do not remove the waterproof connector(s) to ease cable routing. If
the cable must be cut and spliced, use Airmar's splash-proof Junction Box
No. 33-035 and follow the instructions supplied. Removing the waterproof
connector(s) or cutting the cable, except when using a water-tight junction box,
will void the WeatherStation Instrument warranty.
CAUTION: The WeatherStation Instrument must be installed vertically—NOT
tilted to one side. If the WeatherStation Instrument is tilted from the horizontal
plane, it will introduce an error in the compass reading.
CAUTION: Be sure the alignment tabs on the WeatherStation Instrument point
forward toward the bow and parallel to the centerline of the boat. This is
necessary to accurately measure wind direction and vessel heading.
CAUTION: Do not tighten or align the WeatherStation Instrument by rotating the
upper cap (see Figure 3). Turning may sever internal connections and void the
warranty. Grasp the lower housing below the blue metal plate. Hand-tighten only.
