WIND 3100 Installation and Operation Manual

1 Introduction
The WIND 3100 displays:
Apparent wind direction and wind speed.
True wind direction and wind speed (requires
data from a speed instrument).
Maximum wind speed.
Steering directions to sail at a constant angle
to the wind (steer to wind).
VMG , the component of boat speed parallel to
the wind (requires data from a speed
instrument).
An installed WIND 3100 has two parts:
The display unit.
The masthead unit, which has devices for
measuring wind speed and wind direction.
The unit is powered from the boat’s power supply.
The WIND 3100 is part of the NAVMAN 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 6).
For maximum benefit, please read this manual
carefully before installation and use.
How it measures wind speed
The masthead unit has a rotor with three windcups
which spins as the wind moves past the boat. The
masthead unit measures how fast the rotor is
spinning to calculate the wind speed.
How it measures wind direction
The masthead unit has a windvane which points in
the direction that the wind is coming from. The
masthead unit electronically senses the direction the
windvane is pointing.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the display unit with a damp cloth or mild
detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, petrol or other
solvents.

It is the owner’s sole responsibility to install and use the instrument and masthead unit in a manner that
will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. The user of this product is solely responsible
for observing safe boating practices.

WIND 3100 Installation and Operation Manual
2 Operation
2-1 T urn on and off
Turn the unit on and off with the auxiliary power switch
on the boat. The unit does not have its own power
switch. When you turn it off, any settings you have
made are retained.
If the word SIM flashes at the top, right of the display,
then the unit is in simulate mode (see section 2-4).
2-2 Basic operation
The keys
The unit has four keys, labelled and .
In this manual:
Press means to push the key for less than a
second.
Hold for two seconds means to hold the key
down for two seconds or more.
Press one key + another key means to push
both keys together.
Set backlight for screen and keys
You can set the backlight to one of four brightness
levels or off (the key backlight does not turn off). Press
once to display the current backlight level, press
again to change the level:
Backlight
level 2
Press one or more times to change the speed
value displayed in the bottom part of the screen (see
section 4):
Wind speed, apparent or true.
Maximum apparent wind speed.
VMG , the component of boat speed parallel to
the wind (only available if the WIND 3100 is
connected to an instrument with a speed
output, for example the SPEED 3100 or a
NAVMAN GPS).
2-3 Alarm
The WIND 3100 can be set to sound an alarm when
the apparent wind speed exceeds the alarm value
(see section 4-3). When the alarm sounds, the
internal beeper sounds, the symbol on the display
flashes and any external beepers or lights operate.
Press
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.
2-4 Simulate mode
Simulate mode allows you to become familiar with
the unit off the water. In Simulate mode, the WIND
3100 functions normally except that the data from
the masthead unit is ignored and the unit generates
this data internally. The word SIM flashes at the top,
right corner of the screen.
To turn Simulate mode on or off:
1 Turn the power off.
2 Hold down while you turn the power on.
Change the items displayed
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 3100 is not
connected to a speed instrument.
The top part of the screen displays wind direction
and the bottom part displays a speed.
Press
one or more times to select:
True wind direction and speed (only available if
the WIND 3100 is connected to a speed
instrument, for example the SPEED 3100 or a
NAVMAN GPS).
Apparent wind direction and speed.
Steer to wind (see section 5).
