4NAVMAN WIND 3100 Installation and Operation Manual
The WIND 3100 displays:
Apparent wind direction and wind speed.
True wind direction and wind speed (requires
data from a speed instrument).
Maximum wind speed.
Steering directions to sail at a constant angle
to the wind (steer to wind).
VMG, the component of boat speed parallel to
the wind (requires data from a speed
instrument).
An installed WIND 3100 has two parts:
The display unit.
The masthead unit, which has devices for
measuring wind speed and wind direction.
The unit is powered from the boat’s power supply.
The WIND 3100 is part of the NAVMAN family of
instruments, which includes instruments for speed,
depth, wind and repeaters. These instruments can
be connected together to form an integrated data
system (see section 6).
For maximum benefit, please read this manual
carefully before installation and use.
How it measures wind speed
The masthead unit has a rotor with three windcups
which spins as the wind moves past the boat. The
masthead unit measures how fast the rotor is
spinning to calculate the wind speed.
How it measures wind direction
The masthead unit has a windvane which points in
the direction that the wind is coming from. The
mastheadunitelectronicallysensesthedirectionthe
windvane is pointing.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the display unit with a damp cloth or mild
detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, petrol or other
solvents.

Apparent wind speed and direction are the values
measured by the mast head unit on the boat. True
wind speed and direction are calculated values that
allow for boat speed.
If the boat is moving , then the apparent wind speed
is different to the true wind speed and the apparent
wind direction is different to the true wind direction,
as shown below.

3-1 Wind direction display
To display wind direction, press one or more
times, until TRUE (true wind direction) or APP
(apparent wind direction) is displayed. True wind
direction is only displayed if the WIND 3100 is
connected to a speed instrument.
Thewinddirectionisdisplayedindegrees(0to180°
port or starboard) and by the pointer (see right).
3-2 Set wind direction pointer type
The wind direction pointer can be set to one of five
types (see right). Type 1 is the default.
Types 1, 2 and 3 simulate wind vanes, and
have a black spot in the centre. The thinner
part points to where the wind is coming from.
Types 4 and 5 point to where the wind is
coming from.
To set the pointer type:
1 Press + several times until the Pointer
Type screen is displayed:
2 Press or to set the pointer type.
3 Press .
3-3 Set wind direction damping
Wind turbulence, gusts and mast motion cause the
wind direction to fluctuate. To give a stable reading,
the WIND 3100 calculates the wind direction by
measuringthe directionseveraltimesandaveraging
the measurements. The wind direction damping
value ranges from 1 to 5:
A lower value averages readings over a shorter
period of time. This gives the most accurate
direction but has the most fluctuations.
A higher value averages readings over a longer
period of time. This gives the most stable
direction but will ignore some true changes in
direction.
Note : The damping affects the numeric wind
direction, not the pointer. Set the wind direction
damping to the lowest value which gives a stable
numeric wind direction. Values of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
average readings over a time period of 6, 12, 18, 24
and 30 seconds respectively.

Several NAVMAN instruments can be connected
togethertosharedata. Therearetwo waysof connecting
instruments together, NavBus or NMEA.
6-1 NavBus
NavBus is a NAVMAN proprietary system that allows
systemsof multipleinstrumentstobe builtusinga single
set of transducers. When instruments are connected
by NavBus:
If you change the units, alarms or calibration in
one instrument, then the values will automatically
change in all other instruments of the same type.
Each instrument can be assigned to a group of
instruments (see section 1, 8-2, step 3). If you
change the backlight in an instrument in group 1,
2, 3 or 4 then the backlight will automatically
change in the other instruments in the same
group. If you change the backlight in an
instrument in group 0 then no other instruments
are affected.
If an alarm sounds, mute it by pressing on any
instrument which can display that alarm.
NavBus and the WIND 3100
If the WIND 3100 does not have a masthead unit
fitted then the unit will automatically take wind
direction and speed readings from another
instrument, via NavBus, if the data is available.
For more information, refer to the NavBus
Installation and Operation manual.
If a masthead unit is not fitted to the unit and the
6 Systems of several instruments corresponding external data is not available then
the displayed value will be dashes (— —).
To display true wind speed, true wind direction
and VMG, the WIND 3100 must be connected to
an instrument that outputs boat speed. Typical
instruments that output boat speed are:
A GPS receiver (outputs boat speed over
ground).
A NAVMAN SPEED 3100, which uses a
paddlewheel transducer (outputs boat speed
through water).
Note: If there is a current, these two speeds are
different.
You must select which type of boat speed the WIND
3100 will use (see section 3.1 and 8-2, step 2).
6-2 NMEA
NMEAis an industry standard, but is not as flexible
as NavBus as it requires dedicated connections
betweeninstruments.Wind,speedanddirectiondata
are output by the WIND 3100 and can be read and
displayed by the NAVMAN REPEAT 3100 or other
NMEA instruments. The WIND 3100 can receive
NMEAboat speed data:
RMC or VTG from any compatible GPS
instrument (speed over ground)
VHW from any compatible instrument with a
paddlewheel speed transducer (speed through
water).
You must select which type of boat speed the WIND
3100 will use (see section 3-1, 8-2, step 2).
