NAVMAN 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.

NAVMAN WIND 3100 Installation and Operation Manual |
2 Operation
2-1 Turn 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
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).
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:
1Turn the power off.
2Hold down 
while you turn the power on.
