Garmin gWind Transducer Istruzione Sull'Installazione

This wind transducer provides wind speed and wind angle 

information to a NMEA 2000

®

 network on your boat. A Garmin

® 

GND

™

 10 must be used to send data from this device to a NMEA 

2000 network.

See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the

Ensure the shaft 

À

 lines up correctly with the slot on the

The socket on the propeller fits only one way on the shaft.

Press on the propeller until it is seated on the device.

Install the set screw 

Á

 to hold the propeller securely to the 

device.

When selecting a mounting location for the wind transducer, 

observe these considerations.
• The wind transducer should be mounted on a horizontal 

surface on the mast head 

À

.

• If there is not a horizontal surface on the mast head, an 

appropriate shim must be added to create a horizontal 

surface.

• The wind transducer should be installed facing the front of 

the boat 

Á

, parallel to the center line.

NOTE: If you do not mount the device facing the exact front 

of the boat, or mount it facing the back of the boat, you must 

configure the wind-angle offset to receive accurate wind-

angle data by following the directions in these installation 

instructions.

Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the pilot hole 

locations.

Using a 4.5 mm (

11

/

64

 in.) bit, drill the pilot holes.

Fasten the mounting bracket to the surface using the 

included screws.

Loosen the lock nut 

À

 on the device by turning it counter-

clockwise by hand until it stops.

Place the device in the mounting bracket by pushing it down 

Á

 and sliding it back until it stops 

Â

.

Secure the device in the bracket by turning the lock nut 

clockwise by hand until it stops.

Attach the security clamp 

Ã

 to the device to prevent the lock 

nut from loosening.

This device must connect to a Garmin GND 10 to communicate 

with the NMEA 2000 network on your boat.
