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 bracketforflushmountingtoabulkheadorpanelcutout.Panel cutout dimensions are given in the specifications.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.Whenpowerisapplied,theWindTrackerwilldisplayfirmware 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 confirm 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, LEDstatusindicator,andrelaycontacts.AnAlarmDelayparameter establishesthetimedurationinoroutoftheset-pointrangeneeded 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.
