1. Description
This section of the Maintenance Manual covers the servicing procedures
for the ST80 Active Wind Transducer, Product Code Z219.
The transducer measures wind speed and direction using an anemometer
cupassembly and a windvane,each mounted on independentshaftsat
either end of a pod containing electronic circuitry.
Electronicsignals generatedbyan opto-electric integratedcircuitand a
mechanical interrupter coupled to a shaft on which a cup assembly ro-
tates.When the cups are drivenbythe wind the generated signalsare
convertedintodatarepresentingwindspeed.
The wind vane rotates on a shaft to which a magnet is attached. Hall effect
integrated circuits detect the position of the magnet in two orthagonal
axes, and the output signals of the circuits are converted to data repre-
senting the position of the wind vane.
Position and speed data are broadcast on the SeaTalk bus at one - second
intervals, thus becoming available to other elements of the system.
Parametersdefining upper and lower limitsofwind speed and angle, both
true and apparent, can be entered (through other elements of the system)
tocause alarmsto begenerated whena specifiedlimitisexceeded.
Alarms are also broadcast on the SeaTalk bus at intervals of one second
while the alarm condition exists.

3. Disassembly
Referto Figure 1,ExplodedView.
When handling any of the PCBs, linen or other suitable material (
not
nylon)
gloves should be worn if an anti - static mat and grounding strap are not
used.If glovesarenotavailable, handle thePCB by theedges only.
1. Releasethe grubscrews(12) holdingthewind vane(1)and anemom-
eter cup assemblies (11). Back the screws just enough to free the
assemblies without allowing the nuts (4) to fall out. Remove the vane
andcupassemblies
2. Pulltheanemometer head (10) out of the main body (8) andunplugthe
ribbon cable (5) from PL1. To release the cable, lift the top bar of the
connectorandslipthecable free(see detailin Figure1)
3. Pullthe wind vanehead (2) outofthe main body(8) and unplugthe
ribbon cable (5) from PL1. To release the cable, lift the top bar of the
connectorandslipthecablefree(SeedetailinFigure1)
4. Slidethe PCB (7)out of themainbody through thetop (wind vaneend)
5. To release the PCB, unsolder the SeaTalk cable (6) from the contact
pads(seedetailonFigure1).

in Figure 1). For both connectors on the PCB, the coloured side of the
cable faces the centre of the PCB
3. Slidethe PCB intothe main body (8)fromthe top (windvane end),
threading the lower ribbon cable through as the PCB enters. The PCB
is tapered and fits narrow end first
4. CheckthattheO-rings(3)ontheanemometer(10)andwindvane(2)
heads are not damaged, distorted or loose and are free of grease and
dirt.Replaceorcleanas necessary
5. Plugthelower ribbon cable (5) into PL1 of the anemometer PCB(9)
(see detail in Figure 1), ensuring that the cable is not twisted. The
coloured side of the cable faces the outer edge of the board
6. Push the anemometer head (10) into the main body (8), ensuring that
thehead isfullyhome andtheribbon cable(5)is nottwisted
7. Plugthe lowerribboncable (5)intoPL1 ofthewind vanePCB(4) (see
detail in Figure 1), ensuring that the cable is not twisted. The coloured
side of the cable faces the outer edge of the board
8. Pushthewind vane head (2) into themainbody,ensuringthat the head
isfullyhome and the ribbon cable (5)isnottwisted
9. Fit the cup assembly (11) to the lower shaft and the wind vane (1) to the
upper shaft. Insert and tighten the grub screws (12). Check that the
vane and cups rotate freely in both directions.

5.1Preliminary Inspection
Beforetesting,inspecttheequipmentforphysicaldamage(crackedor
broken case, bent/corroded/burnt connector pins, etc.). Clean off any
grease, dirt or deposits in or on the equipment.
Check for signs of water ingress. Check for damage to the pod PCB, in
particular, overheating on the power supply input pinsandPCBtracks.

7. Circuit Description
Refer to Figure 3, Block Diagram and Figure 5, Circuit Diagram.
Two sensor PCBs (round boards) feed the main PCB. Interconnection and
elements on the round boards are shown in the bottom right corner of
theblock diagram.
One sensor (anemometer) detects rotation of the wind cups and produces
a pulse train which is used to calculate the wind speed. The other sensor
(wind vane) detects the rotation of a magnet attached to the wind vane
shaft from which the wind angle is calculated.
The main PCB processes signals from the sensors and interprets mes-
sages from other system elements. SeaTalk sentences containing wind
speed, wind angle and alarm conditions are generated for transmission on
theSeaTalkbus.
7.1PowerSupplies
Anominal 12Vsupplyenters theunit viathe redlead ofthe SeaTalkcable.
VaristorV1placedacrossthesupplyand0V(blackleadoftheSeaTalk
cable) provides protection against power surges and voltage spikes.
DiodeD1,similarlyplacedacrossthesupplyand0V,provideslimited
protection against lightning strikes.
The input supply is routed as follows:
1. Through reverse protection diode D4 to IC1, a regulator which pro-
vides +5V (Vcc) to the circuitry on the PCB. The output of diode D4
(nominally12V) is sent through diodeD6to ASIC IC5, as signalVHELD
2. Through diode D3 as signal 12V to regulator IC2 (or alternative fit 8V
regulator IC9).
RegulatorIC2 (or alternative fit8Vregulator IC9) provide an8Vsupply to
digital - to - analogue convertor IC8. The sensor PCBs (wind vane and
anemometer)aresupplied with 8V through PL1 andPL2.
Reverse diode D5 ensures a floating 0V for the circuitry by isolating the
incoming0V.

7.2External Signals
SeaTalk
SeaTalk signals carried bytheyellow lead of theSeaTalkcable are routed
directlyto theAutohelm ASICIC5.
DiodeD2placedacrossthedatalineand0Vprovideslimitedprotection
against lightning strikes.
Incomingsignals areconverted by theASIC from SeaTalkduplex line
format to SeaTalk DATA IN format for the microprocessor.
Outgoing signals from the microprocessor are converted from SeaTalk
DATA OUT format at CMOS voltage levelsto SeaTalk format at 12Vlevel by
theASIC.
Anemometer
Pulsesare generated by opto -electricintegrated circuit IC3, at arate
dependenton wind speed, by theactionof an opto - interrupteronthe cup
mounting shaft at the lower end of the assembly.
The output of IC3 is fed via PL1 (round board) and PL2 (main PCB) to
comparator IC3a which uses the reference voltage produced by resistors
R8 and R9 to provide a clean input to microprocessor IC7.
WindVane
Hall effect sensors IC1 and IC2 on the round board at the top end of the
assembly detect the position of a magnet mounted on the wind vane shaft.
The resulting analogue voltages (sine and cosine, representing orthagonal
two-axis sensing) are fed via PL1 (round board) and PL1(mainPCB)to
comparatorsIC3band IC3d.
The microprocessor sets up bits 1 to 10 on the input of digital - to - ana-
logue convertor IC8, which produces a reference voltage at the output
(VREF).VREF is fedvia IC4a tocomparatorsIC3c (cosine), IC3b(sine) and
IC3d(VTEST).
When the reference voltage and the inputs from the Hall Effect sensors
are matched, the outputs of the comparators change state and, as the
microprocessor knows the digit pattern set up to cause this change, the
position of the magnet in relation to the sensors can be calculated.
Atestsignal (VTEST) is produced by comparatorIC3d.
