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.

3 Display apparent or true wind speed and angle

Apparent wind speed and angle are the values
measured by the masthead unit on the boat. True
wind speed and angle are calculated values that
allow for the relative speed of the boat.

If the boat is moving, then the apparent wind speed
is different to the true wind speed and the apparent
wind angle is different to the true wind angle, as
shown below.

If the WIND 3150 is not connected to a speed
instrument, then the unit always displays apparent

4-1 Set wind damping

Wind turbulence, gusts and mast motion cause the
measured wind angle and speed to fluctuate. T o give
stable readings, the WIND 3150 calculates wind
angle and speed by measuring the values several
times and averaging the measurements. The wind
damping value ranges from 1 to 5:

A lower value averages measurements over a
shorter period of time. This gives the most
accurate readings but has the most
fluctuations.
A higher value averages measurements over
a longer period of time. This gives the most
stable readings but will ignore some rapid
changes.

Note: Set the damping to the lowest value which
gives stable readings. Values of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
average measurements over a time period of 6, 12,
18, 24 and 30 seconds respectively.

8 Calibrate wind angle and speed

8-1 Calibrate wind angle

Calibrate wind angle after installation if the masthead
arm is not parallel to the centre line of the boat. If the
displayed wind angle seems inaccurate, first check
that the vane on the masthead unit is not damaged
or corroded, then calibrate wind angle. To calibrate
wind angle:

1 Y ou must know what the correct apparent wind

angle is. The easiest way for a boat with a
motor is to travel at maximum speed when
there is no wind. The correct wind angle is then
from ahead, 0°.

Wind Speed screen is displayed:

9 Systems of several instruments

Several NAVMAN instruments can be connected
together to share data. There are two ways of
connecting instruments together, NavBus or NMEA.

9-1 NavBus

NavBus is a NAVMAN proprietary system that allows
systems of multiple instruments to be built using a
single set of transducers. When instruments are
connected by NavBus:

If you change the units, alarms or calibration in
one instrument, then the values will
automatically change in all other instruments
of the same type.

Each instrument can be assigned to a group of
instruments (see section 11-2, step 3). If you
change the backlight in an instrument in group
1, 2, 3 or 4 then the backlight will automatically
change in the other instruments in the same
group. If you change the backlight in an
instrument in group 0 then no other
instruments are affected.

If an alarm sounds, you can mute it on any
instrument which can display that alarm.

NavBus and the WIND 3150

If the WIND 3150 does not have a masthead
unit fitted then the unit will automatically take
wind angle and speed readings from another
instrument, via NavBus, if the data is available.
For more information, refer to the NavBus
Installation and Operation Manual.

If a masthead unit is not fitted to the unit and
the corresponding external data is not available
then the displayed value will be dashes (— —).

3 After two seconds, the display changes to

display the apparent wind speed:

4 Press or to change the displayed

apparent wind speed to the correct value.

5 Press

.

To display true wind speed, true wind angle
and VMG, the WIND 3150 must be connected
to an instrument that outputs boat speed.
Typical instruments that output boat speed are:

A GPS receiver (outputs boat speed over
ground).

A NA VMAN SPEED 3100, which uses a
paddlewheel transducer (outputs boat
speed through water).

Note: If there is a current, these two speeds
are different.

You must select which type of boat speed the
WIND 3150 will use (see section 11-2, step 2).

9-2 NMEA

NMEA is an industry standard, but is not as flexible
as NavBus as it requires dedicated connections
between instruments. Wind speed and wind angle
are output by the WIND 3150 and can be read and
displayed by the NAVMAN REPEAT 3100 or other
NMEA instruments. The WIND 3150 can receive
NMEA boat speed data:

RMC or VTG from any compatible GPS
instrument (speed over ground).

VHW from any compatible instrument with a
paddlewheel speed transducer (speed through
water).

Note: You must select which type of boat
speed the WIND 3150 will use (see
section 11-2, step 2).

A fuse. Use a 1 A fuse for between one and five
instruments.

Optional external beepers or lights can be fitted. The
WIND 3150 output is switched to ground, 30 V DC
and 250 mA maximum. If the beepers and lights
require more than 250 mA, fit a relay.

For systems of several instruments, wiring and
connectors are required (see the NavBus Installation
and Operation Manual).

In order to display true wind speed and angle and
VMG, the WIND 3150 must be connected to an
instrument that outputs boat speed (see section 9).

The WIND 3150 is usually used with the supplied
masthead unit. However, the unit can take readings
from another NAVMAN wind instrument, in which
case the masthead unit does not need to be fitted to
this WIND 3150 (see section 9-1).
