MOUNTING AND START-UP
1. Selectlocationfordisplay.Alocationoutofdirectsunlightprovides
best visibility.
TheWindTracker may be mounted from a bulkhead or installed in
a flush panel by removing the mounting bracket. Panel cutout
dimensions are given in the specifications. An optional rack
mounting panel (Model WS-06280) and protective enclosure
(Model WS-06260) are available from your supplier.
2. Connect cables to terminals. Refer to diagrams on page 5.
Selector switch (item 7 on back panel illustration) should be
DOWN for normal sensor inputs, UP for 4-20 mA or Wind
Monitor-SE signals.
3. Connect GND terminal to suitable earth ground.
4. Insert power supply plug into power jack, plug into standard AC
wall outlet.
The Wind Tracker may also be powered from ships batteries. A
coaxial power plug (2.1mm) must be used. Center is positive.
5. The Wind Tracker will display a software version number for
approximately 4 seconds. It then begins to display wind informa-
tion. The following information is displayed:
• Wind Speed
• Wind Speed Units
• Maximum Wind Speed or Direction degrees
• Relative Wind Direction (single orange indicator)
• Direction Variability (green indicators)
• WS, WD Alarm Status Indicators (if selected)
6. Observe the unit for a few minutes to verify that it is operating
properly.Ifyouwishtochangesettings (ie: wind speed units). See
the following section.
CHANGING SETTINGS
The Wind Tracker has a setup mode that allows you to easily change
sensor type, wind speed units, alarm settings, and other functions.
Press and hold ENTER and SELECT keys (about 5 seconds). The
display will briefly flash “SET UP”, then begin the SETUP sequence.
Change settings with the SELECT key. Press the ENTER key to save
a setting and move to the next step. Abbreviations in the left and right
display windows identify each function and the available selections.

ADDITIONALINFORMATION
ALARMS
Wind speed and wind direction alarm functions are accessed in the
SETUPsequence.Eitherorbothalarmsmaybeused.Whenactivated,
alarmsareindicated onthefrontpanel.Whenanalarmconditionexists,
theindicatorwillblinkandtheassociatedrelaycontactwillcloseandthe
beeper will sound if selected in SETUP. When a delay time is set, the
indicator will not report an alarm condition until it has existed for one
complete delay period. Alarm activity will cease when conditions are
outside the alarm range for one complete delay period. For a "latching"
alarm effect, use the Wind Tracker alarm contacts to activate an
external latching-type relay.
BRIGHTNESS
Adjust display brightness by holding the BRIGHT key.
MAXIMUM / WIND DIRECTION DIGITAL DISPLAY
The right display window can show either MAXIMUM WIND SPEED or
NumericalWINDDIRECTION.Thisselectionismadeinthesetupmode
under Display (dSP).
NMEA OUTPUT
The Wind Tracker features NMEA serial output from the RS-485
terminals. These terminals can be used to operate remote displays or
connect to other NMEA compatible devices. The NMEA output sen-
tence is sent 16 times per second (Fast) or once per second (Slow)
depending on the NMEA Output (OUT) setting in SETUP. For best
remote display, use the Fast setting.
REMOTE DISPLAYS
The Wind Tracker can be used as a remote display by selecting "InP
SEr"duringSETUP.Remotedisplaysareconnectedtothemaindisplay
using the RS-485 terminals. NMEA Serial Protocol is used to operate
remote displays. Up to 16 remote displays can be connected to one
main display. Use the serial input when connecting to a Model 09101
Wind Monitor-SE sensor. See wiring diagram.
VOLTAGE OUTPUTS
The Wind Tracker offers calibrated voltage outputs for both wind speed
and wind direction. This feature allows the use of recorders and other
devices. Full scale voltage for each channel is 5.00 VDC.
4-20mA INPUTS
The Wind Tracker accepts 4-20 mA (Line Driver) inputs. Line Driver
circuitmust provide0-50 M/SWindSpeed scaling("M" suffix). Connect
cableas indicatedonpage 4.Slideswitch onbackmust be UPat power
upforcorrect4-20mAoperation.SelectLDIasinputinSETUP. 24VDC
power is required for line driver applications.
ERROR MESSAGES
The Wind Tracker detects and indicates two errors. Once corrected,
the error indication disappears.
DISPLAY
LDi Err 4-20 mA (line driver) signal. Signal is missing or
outside of acceptable range. Verify proper
switch position or signal.
SEr Err Unit is set to receive RS-485 NMEA serial
signal, but no serial data is coming in. Verify that
NMEA source is operating. Check cables for
proper connection.
WARRANTY
The Wind Tracker is warranted to be free of defects in materials and
constructionfor a period of12months from date ofpurchase.Coverage
is limited to repair or replacement of defective unit.
