1 GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY GUIDELINE
1.1 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The LCJ Capteurs’sensors are ultrasonic wind vanes-
anemometers with accurate factory calibration.
Install the sensor in a location free from wind perturbation,
usually on the mast head.
Prepare the mast head for the mechanical installation. Align
the North mark of the bracket in order to have the CV7
sensor heading to the bow.
The sensor’s fine alignment will be obtained with the
calibration functions of your instrumentation. Should it be
needed, LCJ Capteurs can provide a software calibration
application upon request.
When necessary, install the interface junction boxes in a
protected and dry location.
Run the cable down to the display’s interface, avoiding
locations where other cables or equipment may produce
electromagnetic interferences (pilot’s ram, radio...) and cut
it to the right length. The cable length can be adjusted as
required, providing junctions are made in the state of the
art.
Turn the power supply off before processing to any wiring
work. You can turn power on again only once all installation
and wiring are completed.
We recommend lightly tinning the wires before connecting
them to the screw terminals.
Use only genuine accessories supplied by LCJ Capteurs.
Do not attempt any modifications to the unit.
Never paint any part of the unit or alter its surface in any
way.
Warranty is void in case of non-following the
instructions of use, repair or maintenance without
written authorisation.
1.2 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
The CV7 sensors do not require any maintenance. Check
the connections on a regular basis and make sure the
junction boxes are dry and protected.
If the Wind pages of your instruments do not display the
wind data correctly, refer to the manufacturer’s manual and
check the connections before asking for service to your LCJ
Capteurs dealer.
1.3 DISPOSAL
Equipments marked with the recycling symbol should be
processed via a recognized recycling agency. By
agreement, they may be returned to the manufacturer. Do
not mix electronic disposal with domestic or industrial
refuse.
