1 Introduction General information The WI80 Instrument presents you with relevant wind information on a combined analog and digital display. Adjustable backlight for night operation is provided as well as adjustable intensity on the LED displays for operation in sunshine. Instrument layout The WI80 display includes bargraph, dial with pointer and LED display. Modes of operation and units for measure are indicated by monitor diodes. The instrument is operated by 2 keys. These are used to switch between display modes, to set parameter values and to adjust background illumination. The dial is divided into 360. Hence, when the wind is coming from port in true and relative modes, the image of the starboard dial should apply. Introduction 5

2 Installation Location of the unit The WI80 should be mounted with special regard to the unit s environmental protection, temperature range and cable length. Refer to the Specifications chapter. Avoid mounting the unit where it is easily exposed to sunlight, as this may unintendedly overheat the unit. Panel mounting The mounting surface must be flat and even to within 0.5 mm. 1 2 3 Drill 4 mounting holes and make a panel cut-out according to the drilling template included in the package Use the supplied self tapping screws to secure the unit to the panel Apply the front corners Do not over-tighten the screws! Installation 7

1 Cable connection and interface Signal input, network and power supply are wired to the enclosed terminal block that is to be plugged in on the rear side. The instrument is delivered with a 0.3 m SimNet cable with a standard SimNet plug in both ends. One plug must be cut off and the wires connected to terminals 3 through 6 according to the color codes shown below. TERMINAL NO SIGNAL TYPE COLOR 1 GND - Supply - 2 VCC + Supply 12-24V DC - 3 SimNet - H NMEA2000 channel Yellow 4 SimNet - C NMEA2000 channel Black 5 SimNet - L NMEA2000 channel Blue 6 SimNet - S NMEA2000 channel Red 7 RS485 A NMEA0183 (Rx+) - 8 RS485 GND No connection - 9 RS485 B NMEA0183 (Rx-) - Any voltages other than those specified in the product specification, page 29, may cause damage to the instrument. Data on the NMEA0183 port will be converted to SimNet/ NMEA2000 format and distributed to other instruments that are interconnected on the SimNet network. 8 Installation

Securing the cables Use the eclosed tie wrap to secure the cables to the instrument. Interconnecting instruments Interconnect a series of instruments by using a SimNet power cable with termination and T-joiners as illustrated below. Instrument Supply 12-24V SimNet Supply (Red disk) 12V SimNet T-joiner SimNet T-joiner SimNet T-joiner If the instruments are connected to other SimNet compatible products, refer to the manual for those products. Use only 12V as SimNet supply! Installation 9

Installation setup SimNet, NMEA0183 and Demo mode are selectable inputs on the WI80. After installation, the system must be configured to read the preferred input signal before the instrument is ready for use. The Installation Setup is accessed as shown in the illustration.

10 s + 5 s + Offset adjustment Any residual error in the apparent wind angle can be adjusted manually by entering an offset angle. A positive value (no sign) indicates starboard offset angle, while an offset angle to port is indicated with negative value (negative sign). The illustration below illustrates the required key presses to offset the angle to 12.1.

3 Operation Turning the WI80 on WI80 has no power key, and will be running as long as power is connected. When power is applied to the system the display will indicate the active mode as shown in the table. Initial LED After 1 second POINTER Relative True Geographic Actual wind speed according to active mode Wind direction according to active mode After approximately econds the instrument is operative. Default: Relative wind Before the instruments is ready to operate the default settings should be checked and changed if other values are preferred. Refer to the Changing the default settings chapter. Using the keys The instrument is operated by the 2 keys on the front. They are used to switch between display modes, to set values and to adjust the illumination as illustrated in the table on the next page. Key presses or key combinations not indicated in the table have no effect. Refer also to Operation flow chart. Operation 13

Enter Installation Setup Select parameter Adjust parameter None / Change to next digit Save setting and return to Setup parameter 5 sec Return to main display Time out from User Setup is 10 sec. Time out from Installation Setup is 5 min. REL GEO TRUE Selecting active display mode The WI80 can display relative, true and geographic wind speed and direction. The instrument will scroll through these displays by pressing the Mode/Setup key. Active mode is indicated by a lit diode in the display. To calculate true wind, speed data input is required. To calculate geographic wind, both speed and heading data input is required. If these data are not available, no value will be displayed in the LED when True or Geographic wind is selected. 14 Operation

Bargraph The bargraph operates as a releative wind gust indicator. The direction of the wind gust is displayed as shown in the table below. WIND DIRECTION 30-150 BARGRAPH 1 lit diode per 1m/s increased wind speed, starting from the right side, max 10 diodes are lit PORT STBD 150-210 2 lit diodes per 2m/s increased wind speed, starting from both sides, max 10 diodes on each side PORT STBD 210-330 1 lit diode per 1m/s increased wind speed, starting from the left side, max 10 diodes are lit PORT STBD 330-30 2 lit diodes per 2m/s increased wind speed, starting from center going to both sides. PORT STBD Operation 15

Backlighting The backlighting is adjusted by pressing the Light key when the instrument is in normal operation. Current light setting will be indicated with the right LED digit. The light setting affects the diodes, the digital display and the backlight as shown in the table: LIGHT LEVEL DIODES AND DISPLAY BACKLIGHT 0 Low Off 1-7 Steps Steps 8 Medium Off 9 High Off Level 8 and 9 are for bright daylight. The instrument will return to normal operation 1 second after the last key press. Range: 0-9 Default value: 2 If several instruments are connected via SimNet, the instruments can be grouped in different light banks. Changing the backlight settings on one of the instruments will affect all instruments in the group. Refer to Light bank selection in Changing the default settings chapter. Error Alarm In the event the error indicator is lit, the instrument is not operable and service/repair is required. 16 Operation

Maintenance The IS80 instruments are repair by replacement units, and the operator is therefore required to perform only a very limited amount of preventive maintenance. If the unit requires any form of cleaning, use fresh water and a mild soap solution (not a detergent). It is important to avoid using chemical cleaners and hydrocarbons such as diesel, petrol etc. If a weather cover is available this should be put on when the unit is not in use.operation flow chart Operation 17

Wind speed alarm The wind speed alarm setting defines the maximum wind speed limit before an alarm is activated. The alarm is acknowledged by a short press on one of the keys. The range is defined by the selected speed unit: SPEED UNIT RANGE m/s 000-031 kts 000-060 mph 000-069 km/h 000-111 BEAU 000-011 Default value: Maximum range for the selected speed unit. The illustration on next page shows how to use the keys to change parameter values. It applies also for the wind speed alarm adjust. The alarm is turned off by setting the value to A000 20 Changing the default settings

Wind shift alarm Observe the dot after the A. The wind shift alarm will monitor the wind angle. The reference angle is set when the alarm is turned on, and reset to present wind angle when an alarm is acknowledged by a short press on one of the keys.

Light bank selection The light bank function is used to globally control light settings for a group of units that are connected via the SimNet network. By assigning several units to the same group, the light adjustment on one unit will be effective on the rest of the members in the same group.
