1 GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY G UIDELINE

1.1 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The LCJ Capteurs sensors are Ultrasonic wind vanes/anemometers with accurate factory calibration. Install the sensor in a location free from wind perturbation, usually on the mast head. Prepare the mast head for the mechanical installation. Align the North mark of the bracket in order to have the CV7 sensor heading to the bow. The sensor’s fine alignment will be obtained with the calibration functions of your instrumentation. Should it be needed LCJ Capteurs can provide a’ software calibration application upon request. When necessary, install the interface junction boxes in a protected and dry location. Run the cable down to the display’s interface, avoiding locations where other cables or equipment may produce electromagnetic interferences (pilot’s ram, radio...) and cut it to the right length. The cable’s length can be adjusted as required providing junctions are made in the state of the art. Turn the power supply off before processing to any wiring work. You can turn power on again only once all installation and wiring is completed. We recommend lightly tinning the wires before connecting them to the screw terminals. Use only genuine accessories supplied by LCJ Capteurs. Do not attempt any modification to the unit. Never paint any part of the unit or alter its surface in any way.

6 WindyPlug: connecti ng a CV7
to a NMEA2000 network

6.1 TYPICAL INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

The WindyPlug option is compatible with all CV7 sensors.

6.2 RECOMMENDATIONS

The WindyPlug must be located in a protected area and subject to atmospheric pressure. Do not attempt any modification to the unit. Never paint any part of the unit or alter its surface in any way. Warranty is void in case of non-following the instructions of use, repair or maintenance without written authorisation.

6.3 INSTALLATION

WindyPlug allows connecting a CV7 to NMEA2000 system. It features also an atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature sensor. Its MICRO C male plug connects directly to the NMEA 2000 backbone. You may need to add a T connector (not supplied).

6.4 CONNECTIONS

The CV7 comes with a 25 metres cable featuring crimp terminals. If the cable is cut to shorten the length, it is strongly recommended to use new terminals for a proper connection. The CV7 must be connected to the WindyPlug prior to plugging the device to the NMEA2000 backbone. Open the protective cap and slide the 4 wires through it one after another, and then, the cable’s cover.
Insert the wires terminals in the connectors, colour for colour. Just push them, they will be trapped in place.
Push the protective cap back in place. The hole in the cap must be aligned to the Led indicator.
Once the CV7 connection is completed you can plug the WindyPlug to the NMEA2000 backbone.
If it happens that you need to disconnect the CV7 wires, simply press on the push­easy release.

6.5 DATA SOURCES

Select the data sources on a multifunction display of your NMEA2000 system. You will be given the choice between V2 and V3 depending of your NMEA2000 system’s version.

7.4 COMMISSIONING

Refer to the connected instruments’ manual for pages setup and all functions related to wind and atmospheric pressure functions. Once all wiring and connections are completed, turn the power on and check the alignment. It may be adjusted from your instrument’s setup menu. Alternatively, this can be done directly from the CanBus.

7.5 CALIBRATING THE MAST ANGLE SENSOR: MID-SHIP AND MAST ANGLE ENDS

Use the «- » and « +» keys to change a value that is previously selected with the switch button “S1”. In positions 3 to 6, the values read on the wind displays are the mast angles measures, used for calibration of the mast angle sensor.
The calibration process is done in the following order:
Position 7: + “S1”, reset to factory settings Position 6: identification of the potentiometer’s polarity
(port-starboard values) Position 5: mid-ship. Place mast in mid-ship position and set the angle to 0° Position 4: port-end. Place the mast in port-end pos ition and set the angle to the relevant value (theoretical or measured) Position 3: starboard-end. Place the mast in starboard­end position and set the angle to the relevant value (theoretical or measured)

7.6 WIND SENSOR ALIGNEMENT

Fine alignment of the mast sensor can be achieved at sea. Sail on starboard and port to note the correction that needs to be applied from a tack to another. Place th e rotary button (S1) in position 1 and use the “+” and “-“ keys to change the value read on the display. Adjust the value accordingly to the difference measured from a tack to another during sea trials. The wind angle will correctly read on the display.

7.7 CALIBRATION OF THE BAROMETER

The atmospheric pressure sensor is calibrated against the nearest reference located on the shore level, such as a weather station. The rotary button (S1) placed on position 2 allows calibrating the atmospheric pressure. Once the button is in position 2, the value on the display can be adjusted using the “+” and “-“ keys to match the reference. Make sure your display is set to “mb” unit.
These values are automatically stored in the device’s memory. They can be fine adjusted after sea trials.

16.1 CONTENT OF DELIVERY

16.2 INSTALLATION

The CV7SF wind sensor is designed for operation outdoor, exposed to natural light. It must be installed in an area free from any air flow perturbation. Choose a location free from any obstacle and situated at least 150 cm from the ground. The radio signal maximum range is 200 meters. Best results are obtained in a 50 meters distance between the sensor and its receiver. The signal can be perturbated by materials such as carbon, aluminium, steel... A minimum distance of 10 meters between the arm and any conductive material is recommended. Specific environments may cause bad reception. Please contact our technical support in that case.

16.3 SENSOR ALIGNEMENT

A mark below the sensor indicates the alignment. The vertical bracket is designed for mounting on a horizontal surface, usually the mast head on a sailing boat. For mounting on the side of the mast, an additional bracket is available separately (see section 13.2). The CV7 sensor must be installed with the “Nord” mark on the bracket aligned to the geographical North for a fix installation on shore. Use a compass, taking the deviation in account.

17.2 INSTALLATION

The CV7SF wind sensor is designed for operation outdoor, exposed to natural light. It must be installed in an area free from any air flow perturbation. Choose a location free from any obstacle and situated at least 150 cm from the ground. The radio signal maximum range is 200 meters. Best results are obtained in a 50 meters distance between the sensor and its receiver. The signal can be perturbated by materials such as carbon, aluminium, steel... A minimum distance of 10 meters between the arm and any conductive material is recommended. Specific environments may cause bad reception. Please contact our technical support in that case.

17.3 SENSOR ALIGNEMENT

A mark below the sensor indicates the alignment. The vertical bracket is designed for mounting on a horizontal surface, usually the mast head on a sailing boat. For mounting on the side of the mast, an additional bracket is available separately (see section 13.2). The CV7 sensor must be installed with the “Nord” mark on the bracket aligned to the geographical North for a fix installation on shore. Use a compass, taking the deviation in account.
