FI-30 Wind transducer
Thank you for choosing a FURUNO product. Through this manual we would like to
help you to install your new FURUNO product. Please read through this manual
carefully before starting your installation. This unique wind transducer provides both
wind speed and wind angle relative the boat. If a Speed transducer is connected to the
system, true wind speed and angle is computed. In addition, a compass or GPS
antenna may be used to compute true wind direction relative North
1 Installation
1.1 Location
The transducer should be mounted on a horizontal surface in the mast head. If the
masthead is not horizontal a shim has to be added. An 15 shim for Selden masts is
available.
The wind transducer is using optical sensor technology performing digital PWM output.
This technique provides high accuracy angle and wind speed measurements.
2 Part specification
1# Calibration certificate
1# Wind transducer with 25 m cable
1# Bracket
5# Cable protectors (0,25 mm)
3 INSTALLATION
The transducer permits any type of horizontal mounting angle.
Mount the unit by directing the pipe (1) down and backwards in the bracket (2). Secure
the nut (3) towards the attachment BY HAND (tools can be needed when demounting).
Attach the security clamp (4) behind the nut.
The wind transducer connects to the FI-30 Server.

4.1 Connections to the FI-30 Server
If you already have a Nexus Network i.e. a Server, it is more practical to connect the
transducer to the Server due to the single instrument cable installation. Note, set C71
OFF (see Multi Control Manual)
Server
Transducer
4.2 Installing cable
The power cable is connected via a 3A fuse from the battery or at the boats fuse panel
and direct to the instrument or Server. One red and one black power wire is included.
Note, set C71 On (see Multi Control Manual)
Always connect a 3 AMP fuse between Power supply and instrument.
