User manual VDO WIND

[. . . ] Disconnect the minus polarity of the battery before starting your work to prevent the risk of a short-circuit. Short-circuits can cause harness fires, battery explosions and damages of other electronic memory systems. Please note that all volatile electronic memories will lose their contents, and will have to be re-programmed if you disconnect the battery. Run the engine blower for a certain time before starting work in a gasoline engine compartment. [. . . ] An NMEA Interface VDO Number N01 610 506 is also available as an accessory. This can be used to transmit data to the VDO LOGIC MAP or to the PC. 27 VDO OCEAN LINE WIND Components of the system The supplied kit contains: Indicating instrument Union nut for instrument fixation Anemometer sensor with fixation base plate Mast cable from sensor to display unit, length 30 m Strain relief for mast cable Connecting socket Product certificate Installation and operating instructions Accessories (must be ordered separately) Fixation kit (bracket) Lighting kit (24 V / 1. 2 W) Analog wind speed indicating instrument NMEA Interface N05 800 792 N05 800 550 N01 310 502 N01 610 506 Spare parts: Lighting kit (12 V / 1. 2 W) Other spare parts are available on request. N05 800 552 28 DISPLAY FUNCTIONS Display functions of the VDO Ocean Line anemometer system Apparent wind direction Apparent wind speed Angle giving unit for wind speed 1. Apparent wind direction The needle on the indicating instrument indicates the apparent wind direction. The colored area on the dial marks the optimum wind angle at which the best possible speed can be expected, either against or with the wind. Apparent wind speed The wind speed is shown on the LCD in the unit specified during setup (m/s, km/h, bft or kts). The selected unit will be marked on the display with a small angle (in the above illustration, for example, the wind speed will be displayed in knots). On connection to the boats supply system, the unit in which the wind speed should be displayed in the LCD should be set (see the Installation section). 2. 29 MAINTENANCE/TROUBLESHOOTING Maintenance of the VDO Ocean Line Wind The indicating instrument is maintenance-free. Clean the indicating instrument with a damp, non-fuzzing or anti-static cloth. Do not oil the sensor bearings, as the oil may gum and attract dirt particles. The electrical contacts of the socket at the mast footing should be cleaned once per season. Oxidized contacts can lead to system failures. Troubleshooting Fault - VDO Ocean Line Wind without function Cause/ Remedy: - Check electrical connections are accordance with the wiring in diagram - Check the on-board voltage, supply voltage is 10. 8 to 32 V DC - Check contacts and connections for corrosion or dirt deposits - Check mast cable integrity - Sensor offset: Sensor must be mounted exactly in the pointing ahead direction. For a direction of 90°, 180° or 270° the vane must be mounted as described on page 13. - Check contacts and connections for corrosion or dirt deposits - Different instrument for wind speed: install an instrument as described on page 16. - Incorrect direction display - Incorrect wind speed 30 INSTALLATION Installing the VDO Ocean Line Wind Please read the safety instructions on pages 25 and 26 before starting the installation. Installing the indicating instrument Make a hole, diameter 86 mm, at an adequate location. Clean the surroundings and remove the chips before inserting the indicating instrument. Pass the cable connections to the indicating instrument through the mounting hole and the union nut. Place the supplied black rubber washer on the instrument back Connect the cables per wiring schematic to the indicating instrument and insert the instrument into the mounting hole (see Electrical installation). Mounting alternative A for wall thicknesses d = 0. 5 mm to 6. 5 mm Mounting alternative B for wall thicknesses d = 6. 5 mm to 16. 5 mm Check that the union nut is only tightened hand-tight. [. . . ] Install the other end of the mast cable from the indicating instrument to the connecting socket at the foot of the mast. Installing the connecting socket Install the cable socket below deck at the foot of the mast as shown. Connect the 8 wires at both cable ends according to the following table, using the 6-channel terminal board: Terminal 1 Terminal 2 Terminal 3 Terminal 4 Terminal 5 Terminal 6 red and pink brown grey yellow white blue and green 35 INSTALLATION Electrical installation Setting the instrument for wind speed indication The VDO Ocean Line WIND is fitted with an LCD, which can display wind speed in m/s, km/h, bft (Beaufort) or kts (Knots). The black angle in one of the four corners of the display shows the instrument which has been selected. The main and secondary indicating instruments should be connected as shown below. [. . . ]
