User manual FURUNO FI-303 OPERATORS MANUAL

[. . . ] 0 1 2 Introduction Thank you for choosing FI-30 Wind Data instrument. We are convinced that you will appreciate all the valuable information either you are a cruiser or a racer. It is important that you are following this instruction regarding installation and operation. If the instrument are to be used in a Nexus Network, there are some systems settings that are dependent on where the transducers are installed, i. e. [. . . ] When the deviation is between 15° and 30° the 15° sector is lit. When larger then 30° the segment sector is blanked out. Trim on speed: Each sector represents 2% Select the trim function. There is a number of different "speeds" to be used for trimming. The Wind Data instrument can also display deviation from optimum calculated boat speed [TBS] or (Target Boat Speed). The TBS is normally calculated by use of polar diagram on PC with racing software. The value "Target Boat Speed" is transmitted through the FI-30 Server on the NMEA 0183 input. On the Wind Data display you will see both the digital value in % and the graphical value as a 2% variation for each segment. You may select "speeds" to TRIM, from this list: BSP AWS TWS SOG DRF WCV VMG TBS Boat speed Apparent Wind Speed True Wind Speed Speed Over Ground Drift Speed towards a waypoint Velocity Made Good Optimum speed based on polar diagram Function is OFF Log transducer!PC + NMEA 0183 through FI-30 Server! OFF When [BSP] (or other function) is selected, the dampening [d3] is flashing. The text [% OFF] is then displayed to show that the function is selected, but no reference is yet set. The display will now show you the text [%] toggling with text [BSP] or whatever trim you have selected. There is an option to use an external trim button to set a new trim reference. Each sector represents 2% 5. 6 More functions in a Nexus Network By adding (or using) the Wind Data instrument in the Nexus Network, more functions will be added if the corresponding transducer is connected. The Wind Data instrument can be used in a small Network together with the Multi, Log or analogue instrument, without a Server. In order to make the installation easy when using both log and Wind transducer in a small Network we recommend you to install with connection kit art. no. Only one cable will carry the signals to the instrument, then there is one Network/power cable to the Multi or Log instrument. When using the Wind Data in a bigger Network with more then 3 transducers, we recommend you to use the FI-30 Server. If you need to be able to read the depth information on more then one instrument, the Server is the only choice. Network bonus function: If you are using the race timer on the Multi or Log instrument you will have a graphical 60 second countdown timer "popping up" on this instrument. In this example there is 45 second to start. 21 5. 6. 1 Geographic Wind direction (TWD) To get this function, set NAV = On C14 (See 6. 1. 4). Text [TWD] is displayed shortly, then is the abbreviation for Wind directions displayed, [SSW], [NO], [WNW] etc. The graphic direction is also displayed by pressing PAGE one or more times until the display to the right is displayed together with the "pointer". If the Compass transducer is missing but there is a GPS installed, you may use the GPS as a reference for heading under the criteria that the vessel must be moving. [. . . ] Therefore, always first check that: · · · · · · · · · · Installation and connection is made per instructions for instrument and transducers, (see 3. 3). Check the following important settings: C13, C14, C33, C63, C71 and C72. 33 7. 2. 2 Fault - action 1. Wind: No reading [ --- ] · If inaccurate Wind data is received, check the connections (separate through deck connection or below decks connection), are properly made. · Make sure the transducer is aligned correctly, (see C54, 6. 4. 4).
