Note: If an item displays as dashes (— —) then it means that the value is not available. For example, true
wind values are not available if the WIND 3150 is not connected to a boat speed instrument.
The unit is powered from the boat’s power supply.
The WIND 3150 is part of the NAVMAN 3100 family
of instruments, which includes instruments for speed,
depth, wind and repeaters. These instruments can
be connected together to form an integrated data
system (see section 9).
For maximum benefit, please read this manual
carefully before installation and use.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the display unit with a damp cloth or mild
detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, petrol or other
solvents.

switch on the boat. The unit does not have its own
power switch. When the unit is turned on, the pointer
rotates once as the unit performs a self-calibration.
When the unit is turned off, any settings you have
made are retained.
If the word SIM flashes on the LCD display then the
unit is in simulate mode (see section 2-5).

When the alarm sounds, the internal beeper sounds,
the symbol on the display flashes and any external
beepers or lights operate.
Press any key to mute the alarm. The alarm stays
muted until the wind speed drops below the alarm
value. The alarm will sound again if the wind speed
exceeds the alarm value again.
2-5 Simulate mode
Simulate mode allows you to become familiar with
the unit off the water. In Simulate mode, the
WIND 3150 functions normally except that the data
from the masthead unit is ignored and the unit
generates this data internally. The word SIM
flashes on the LCD display.
To turn Simulate mode on or off:
1 Turn the power off.
2 Hold down
while you turn the power on.
2-6 How the unit measures wind
speed and angle
The masthead unit has a rotor with three wind cups
which spins as the wind moves past the boat. The
masthead unit measures how fast the wind cups are
spinning to calculate the wind speed.
The masthead unit has a vane which points in
the angle that the wind is coming from. The
masthead unit electronically senses the direction
the vane is pointing.
