These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a normal installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

The steering resolution is a number from 1 to 5 that sets the number of degrees of steering error that each segment represents (see examples on previous page). To set the steering resolution: 1 + several times until the Steering Press Resolution screen is displayed: Required steering angle is 45° Steering resolution is 5° 2 3 Press or to change the required steering angle. or to change the resolution. 6 Systems of several instruments Several NAVMAN instruments can be connected together to share data. There are two ways of connecting instruments together, NavBus or NMEA. 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). You must select which type of boat speed the WIND 3100 will use (see section 3. 1 and 8-2, step 2). 6-1 NavBus NavBus is a NAVMAN proprietary system that allows systems of multiple instruments to be built using a 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 instrument which can display that alarm. on any 6-2 NMEA NMEA is an industry standard, but is not as flexible as NavBus as it requires dedicated connections between instruments. Wind, speed and direction data 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 NMEA boat 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). 11 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.
