    PGNs. 2.5.7.5 Installation Description Configuration The WSO100, along with all other Level A certified NMEA 2000 devices, has two user- programmable installation description fields. You may program these fields with information specific to the device, such as date installed, the initials/name of the installer, the physical location of the device, etc.
  • Page 11: Ultrasonic Wind Speed Sensing

    The ultrasonic transducers are robust, yet sensitive instruments. The transducers themselves must be kept free of any coating, such as paint. The WSO100 unit itself, especially the area between the transducers, must be kept clean and free of debris for maximum wind speed and direction accuracy.
  • Page 12: Maintenance

    WSO100 will expose the sensitive electronic components to adverse environmental conditions that may render the unit inoperative. Please do not open the WSO100, as this will automatically void the warranty. If service is required, please return the unit to an authorized Maretron service location.
