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.
