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’s 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 is 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 modification 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.
1.4 USE OF THIS MANUAL
This manual serves as a guideline for the safe and
effective installation, operation and maintenance of the
Ultrasonic Wind Sensors of the CV7 range from LCJ
Capteurs. It is recommended to follow carefully the

6 WindyPlug: connecting a CV7
to a NMEA2000 network
6.1 TYPICAL INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
The WindyPlug option is compatible with all CV7 sensors.
6.2 RECOMMENDATIONS
The WindyPlug must be located in a protected area and
subject to atmospheric pressure.
Do not attempt any modification 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.
6.3 INSTALLATION
WindyPlug allows connecting a CV7 to NMEA2000
system. It features also an atmospheric pressure and
ambient temperature sensor.
Its MICRO C male plug connects directly to the NMEA
2000 backbone.
You may need to add a T connector (not supplied).
6.4 CONNECTIONS
The CV7 comes with a 25 metres cable featuring crimp
terminals. If the cable is cut to shorten the length, it is
strongly recommended to use new terminals for a proper
connection. The CV7 must be connected to the WindyPlug
prior to plugging the device to the NMEA2000 backbone.
Open the protective cap and slide the 4 wires through it
one after another, and then, the cable’s cover.
Insert the wires terminals in the connectors, colour for
colour. Just push them, they will be trapped in place.

Push the protective cap back in place. The hole in the cap
must be aligned to the Led indicator.
Once the CV7 connection is completed you can plug the
WindyPlug to the NMEA2000 backbone.
6.5 DATA SOURCES
Select the data sources on a multifunction display of your
NMEA2000 system. You will be given the choice between
V2 and V3 depending of your NMEA2000 system’s
version.

Consumption: 2 LEN
7.4 COMMISSIONING
Refer to the connected instruments’ manual for pages
setup and all functions related to wind and atmospheric
pressure functions. Once all wiring and connections are
completed, turn the power on and check the alignment. It
may be adjusted from your instrument’s setup menu.
Alternatively, this can be done directly from the CanBus.
7.5 CALIBRATING THE MAST ANGLE SENSOR:
MID-SHIP AND MAST ANGLE ENDS
Use the «- » and « +» keys to change a value that is
previously selected with the switch button “S1”.
In positions 3 to 6, the values read on the wind displays
are the mast angles measures, used for calibration of the
mast angle sensor.
The calibration process is done in the following order:
Position 7: + “S1”, reset to factory settings
Position 6: identification of the potentiometer’s polarity
(port-starboard values)
Position 5: mid-ship. Place mast in mid-ship position and
set the angle to 0°
Position 4: port-end. Place the mast in port-end position
and set the angle to the relevant value (theoretical or
measured)
Position 3: starboard-end. Place the mast in starboard-
end position and set the angle to the relevant value
(theoretical or measured)
7.6 WIND SENSOR ALIGNEMENT
Fine alignment of the mast sensor can be achieved at sea.
Sail on starboard and port to note the correction that
needs to be applied from a tack to another.
Place the rotary button (S1) in position 1 and use the “+”
and “-“ keys to change the value read on the display.
Adjust the value accordingly to the difference measured
from a tack to another during sea trials.
The wind angle will correctly read on the display.
7.7 CALIBRATION OF THE BAROMETER
The atmospheric pressure sensor is calibrated against the
nearest reference located on the shore level, such as a
weather station.
The rotary button (S1) placed on position 2 allows
calibrating the atmospheric pressure. Once the button is in
position 2, the value on the display can be adjusted using
the “+” and “-“ keys to match the reference. Make sure
your display is set to “mb” unit.
These values are automatically stored in the device’s
memory. They can be fine adjusted after sea trials.

16.1 CONTENT OF DELIVERY
16.2 INSTALLATION
The CV7SF wind sensor is designed for operation outdoor,
exposed to natural light. It must be installed in an area free
from any air flow perturbation. Choose a location free from
any obstacle and situated at least 150 cm from the ground.
The radio signal maximum range is 200 meters. Best
results are obtained in a 50 meters distance between the
sensor and its receiver. The signal can be perturbated by
materials such as carbon, aluminium, steel...
A minimum distance of 10 meters between the arm and
any conductive material is recommended. Specific
environments may cause bad reception. Please contact
our technical support in that case.
16.3 SENSOR ALIGNEMENT
A mark below the sensor indicates the alignment. The
vertical bracket is designed for mounting on a horizontal
surface, usually the mast head on a sailing boat. For
mounting on the side of the mast, an additional bracket is
available separately (see section 13.2). The CV7 sensor
must be installed with the “Nord” mark on the bracket
aligned to the geographical North for a fix installation on
shore. Use a compass, taking the deviation in account.

17.1 CONTENT OF DELIVERY
17.2 INSTALLATION
The CV7SF wind sensor is designed for operation outdoor,
exposed to natural light. It must be installed in an area free
from any air flow perturbation. Choose a location free from
any obstacle and situated at least 150 cm from the ground.
The radio signal maximum range is 200 meters. Best
results are obtained in a 50 meters distance between the
sensor and its receiver. The signal can be perturbated by
materials such as carbon, aluminium, steel...
A minimum distance of 10 meters between the arm and
any conductive material is recommended. Specific
environments may cause bad reception. Please contact
our technical support in that case.
17.3 SENSOR ALIGNEMENT
A mark below the sensor indicates the alignment. The
vertical bracket is designed for mounting on a horizontal
surface, usually the mast head on a sailing boat. For
mounting on the side of the mast, an additional bracket is
available separately (see section 13.2). The CV7 sensor
must be installed with the “Nord” mark on the bracket
aligned to the geographical North for a fix installation on
shore. Use a compass, taking the deviation in account.
17.4 USB CONNECTION
Plug the USB cable to the PC. The driver will automatically
be installed by the Windows®system (Windows 7®and
above). Alternatively, the latest version of the driver can be
downloaded from the technical support section of the
website (www.lcjcapteurs.com). It is an executable file.
Double-click on the file to launch the installation.
Once the CV7 is connected to the USB port, your relevant
software will immediately identify the
NMEA0183®sentences via an emulated COM port.
