ComNav 2001 Autopilot System
P/N 29010017 V1.0 - 57-
WIND VANE INTERFACE
STOWE WIND MONITOR
The S1, S2 and S3 wires from the autopilot
should be hooked in parallel with the GREEN,
WHITE and YELLOW wires from the masthead
unit. The other wires in the cable from the
autopilot are not used, and should be cut off to
avoid the possibility of short circuits. Turn on the
wind monitor, place the autopilot master select
switch in the STANDBY position, and press the
WIND ON/SET key.
If the reading on the autopilot display is
increasing when the actual wind angle is
decreasing, reverse any two of the wires from the
autopilot. Press and hold the WIND ON/SET
key and press either the up or down ARROW
key until the reading on the autopilot display is
the same as the actual wind angle.
SWOFFER MODEL 70
The S1, S2 and S3 wires from the autopilot
should be hooked in parallel with the WHITE,
GREEN and BROWN wires from the masthead
unit. The other wires in the cable from the
autopilot are not used, and should be cut off to
avoid the possibility of short circuits. Turn on the
wind instrument, place the autopilot master select
switch in the STANDBY position, and press the
WIND ON/SET key.
If the reading on the autopilot display is
increasing when the actual wind angle is
decreasing, reverse any two of the wires from the
autopilot. Press and hold the WIND ON/SET
key and press either the up or down ARROW
key until the reading on the autopilot display is
the same as the actual wind angle.
VDO
The VDO windvane has a two phase Sine/Cosine
output with no reference. Create a reference by
using two 1K Ohm 1/4 Watt resistors as shown in
Figure 14.
The jumpers on the compass circuit board will
have to be moved as shown in Figure 15 to select
the Sine/Cosine input; this is best done by your
dealer.
CONNECTION FOR NON-2001 FLUXGATE COMPASSES
* If the reading is reversed, swap these two wires.
