 General
1-1. Explanation

The 3-Cup Type Wind Tracker, wind speed and wind direction indicator offers
big performance in a compact display.
Wind speed is displayed in your choice of units: KNOTS, M/S. Maximum wind
speed is saved on the display until reset by the operator.
Wind direction information is clearly displayed on a circular compass pattern
of LEDs. Multicolored segments give a quick visual indication of current
direction and direction variability. Front panel brightness control allows
adjustment for best viewing in any light.
A variety of inputs and outputs including 4-20 mA and Serial (RS-485) are
standard on the Wind Tracker
The Wind display indicator are 144 Type(144mm x 144mm x 60mm) and
192 Type(192mm x 192mm x 110mm). 18-36 VDC power enables the Wind
Tracker to be powered by external batteries or AC/DC power supply. 10-36
VDC power enables the Transmitter to be powered by external batteries or
AC/DC power supply.

4-1. Operation

The red point on the top of the tube indicates the 0° position and should be orientated North or
Ship Head.

Wind speed is displayed in your choice of units : knots, m/s. Maximum wind speed
is saved on the display until reset by the operator. Wind direction information

is clearly displayed on a circular pattern of LEDs. Bold front panel graphics give
a quick indication of wind angle relative to vessel heading.

POWER SUPPLY

Connect the external input, output signals and the power source as follows.

(Connect to the terminal board at the back of the unit

- Connect Wind Direction and Wind Speed signal between TX+, TX-, RX+ and RX-
- T1+, T1-, T2+ and T2- output terminals of RS-485 signals.

- Terminal I1+ and I1- are 4~20mA Current signal for Wind Direction, Maximum
load 250 Ohm. Terminal I1+ is positive and I1- is negative
- Terminal I2+ and I2- are 4~20mA Current signal for Wind Speed, Maximum load
250 Ohm. Terminal I2+ is positive and I2- is negative
- Terminal Ext. VR 1, 2, and 3 are external dimming.
- Terminal FG is for frame ground, which should be connected to the hull, that is,
the mounting console of this Indicator
- Terminal +24V and 0V are for connecting the DC24V power source.

Do not connect in wrong polarity.

The following buttons are provided on the front panel.
- DIM : Front panel brightness control allows adjustment for best viewing in any
light. When One Click, brightness control is 16 steps. Luminous front panel
markings allow viewing even in a darkened pilothouse.

- FUCT : When the button pressed, From m/s to knots or from knots to m/s
change. And when the button pressed 2seconds, Maximum wind value is
reset to Zero.
Example 1) Change from m/s to knots

 Example 2) Maximum Wind speed return to “0.0”

5. Data Communication Protocol

6-1. General

The 3-Cup Type Anemometer outputs in digital format through its external circular
connector.
The electronic interface meets the requirements of EIA

RS-485 at 9600 baud(Transmitter) and 4800 baud(Indicator). This type of interface

provides complete immunity against interference due to cable lengths and common
mode voltages that might otherwise be troublesome. This Anemometer is capable of
transmitting data over cable lengths exceeding 1,200meters.

6-2. Data transmitter

Data is transmitter in serial asynchronous form in accordance with the standards

referenced in NMEA0183.The first bit is a start bit and is followed by data bits, least-
significant-bit first, as illustrated by figure 6.1.
