MOUNTING AND START-UP

1. For best visibility, place the Wind Tracker in a location free of
direct sunlight. Mount it using the attached bracket or remove
bracket for ush mounting to a bulkhead or panel cutout. Panel
cutout dimensions are given in the specications. An optional
rack mounting panel (Model 06280) and protective enclosure
(Model 06260) are available from your YOUNG supplier.

2. Connect cables to terminals according to wiring diagram.

IMPORTANT NOTE! Please observe correct position of

back-panel Input Selector Switch according to wiring
diagram.

3. Connect GND terminal to suitable earth ground.

4. Insert power supply plug into power jack, plug power supply
into a suitable AC wall outlet or connect to suitable 12 to 30
VDC power source to terminals.

IMPORTANT NOTE! Do not connect two different power

sources to the Marine Wind Tracker at the same time.

5. When power is applied, the Wind Tracker will display rmware
version number then begin to display wind information as
follows:

• Wind speed

• Wind speed units

• Maximum wind speed or direction degrees

• Wind direction (single orange indicator)

• Direction variability (green indicators)

• Alarm status indicators (if selected)

• Data averaging indicator (if selected)

6. Observe display to conrm proper operation.

CHANGING SETTINGS

Marine Wind Tracker parameters may be inspected or changed
in SETUP mode. Press and hold both ENTER and SELECT keys
for about 4 seconds. When SETUP mode is active, abbreviations
identify each function and available options as listed below. The
SELECT key changes options or values. The ENTER key saves
and moves to the next parameter.

Appearance of options depends on parameter settings. Some
options may be hidden.

OPERATION

ALARMS

Wind speed and direction alarms each have their own set-point,
LED status indicator, and relay contacts. An Alarm Delay parameter
establishes the time duration in or out of the set-point range needed
for the alarm to change state. During operation, front panel LEDs
indicate alarm status.

LED Off = Alarm not armed and OFF. Relay open
LED Steady = Alarm armed and OFF. Relay open
LED Blinking = Alarm ON. Relay closed. Audible beep if Sound
parameter has been set.

AVERAGING

When averaging is enabled, the front-panel AVG annunciator is
illuminated, and average wind speed and direction values are
displayed at intervals set by the Period (PEr) parameter. When
disabled, instantaneous wind values are displayed.
