SAFETY
Please respect all instructions of this manual.
All texts marked with this symbol should have
your particular attention. They are indications
of particular importance for the operation of the
system and for your safety.
The use of the wind measuring system does not relieve you of your res-
ponsibility for your ship, which requires good seamanship.
Always use your personal experience when interpreting the displayed
values.
Safety Instructions Concerning the Installation
The wind monitoring system should be installed by your shipyard or by
an echo sounder specialist.
Remove all metallic or electrically conducting jewellery, such as chains,
bracelets, rings, etc. when working on the on-board electronics.
Disconnect the minus polarity at the battery before starting your work to
prevent the risk of a short-circuit. Short-circuits can cause cable harness
fires, battery explosions and damages of electronic memory systems.
Please note that when you disconnect the battery, all volatile electronic
memories will lose their contents, and will have to be re-programmed.
Check that there is enough room behind the installation opening. Pre-
drill the opening and complete with keyhole saw (respect the safety in-
structions of the hand tool manufacturer).
Use insulated tools if you must work without disabling the power supply.
The electrical output of the wind indicating instrument and the cables
connected to them must be protected against direct contact or damage.
This means that the cables must have a sufficient insulation resistance
or voltage rating, and that touching the contact points is prevented.
Electrically conducting parts of the connected loads must also be protec-
ted by adequate measures against a direct contact. The use of non-insu-
lated wires and contacts is strictly forbidden.
