Installing the Battery
NOTICE
The appropriate battery is provided with this device. Installing a
battery not provided by or purchased from Garmin may damage
the device.
Before mounting the device, you must install the included
battery.
1
Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, open the battery door on the
device.
2
Insert the connector from the battery
À
to the port on the
board inside the device
Á
.
The connector fits into the port only one way. Forcing the
connector into the port may damage it.
3
Route the battery cable inside the device housing
Â
, and
place the battery under the board
Ã
.
4
Taking care to avoid pinching the battery wires, close and
secure the battery door.
Installing the Propeller
1
Ensure the shaft
À
lines up correctly with the slot on the
propeller.
The socket on the propeller fits only one way on the shaft.
2
Press on the propeller until it is seated on the device.
3
Install the set screw
Á
to hold the propeller securely to the
device.
Mounting Considerations
When selecting a mounting location for the wind transducer,
observe these considerations.
The wind transducer should be mounted on a horizontal
surface on the mast head
À
.
2
If there is not a horizontal surface on the mast head, an
appropriate shim must be added to create a horizontal
surface.
The wind transducer should be installed facing the front of
the boat
Á
, parallel to the center line.
NOTE: If you do not mount the device facing the exact front
of the boat, or mount it facing the back of the boat, you must
configure the wind-angle offset to receive accurate wind-
angle data by following the directions in these installation
instructions.
When selecting a mounting location for the wireless server
interface (WSI), observe these considerations.
Before permanently mounting the WSI, you must test the
signal strength between the wind transducer and the WSI.
The
WSI
is not water resistant and must be installed in a
location that is not exposed to any spray, washdown, or
submersion.
The best location for the
WSI
is under the deck, near the
hull, as high as possible in the boat.
You should install the WSI as close to the wind transducer as
possible.
Metallic objects in the path of the wind transducer and the
WSI greatly reduce the transmission distance.
The antenna is on the top of the WSI
Â
, and works best
when it is pointing toward the wind transducer.
The WSI works the best when installed on a bulkhead
parallel to the pole of the wind transducer, in a fore-aft
direction.
Installing the Mounting Bracket
1
Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the pilot
hole locations.
2
Using a 4.5 mm (
11
/
64
in.) bit, drill the pilot holes.
3
Fasten the mounting bracket to the surface using the
included screws.
Securing the Device in the Mounting Bracket
1
Loosen the lock nut
À
on the device by turning it counter-
clockwise by hand until it stops.
2
Place the device in the mounting bracket by pushing it down
Á
and sliding it back until it stops
Â
.
3
Secure the device in the bracket by turning the lock nut
clockwise by hand until it stops.
4
Attach the security clamp
Ã
to the device to prevent the lock
nut from loosening.
Mounting the WSI
Before permanently mounting the WSI, you must test the signal
strength between the sensor and the receiving box.
1
Determine the mounting location.
2
Using the device as a template, mark the pilot hole locations
on the mounting surface.
3
Using a
1
/
8
in. drill bit, drill the pilot holes.
4
Use the included screws to attach the device to the mounting
surface.
Connection Considerations
The WSI must connect to a
Garmin GND 10 to communicate
with the NMEA 2000
network on your boat. When connecting
the included cable to the WSI
and to the GND
10, observe
these considerations.
Item Description
À
These terminals are not used when connecting this device to a
GND
10 because the WSI is powered by the GND
10. If you
want to use the WSI
with other Nexus
®
products, see the Nexus
device owner's manual.
Á
This connector fits only one way. Match the wire colors to the
terminal blocks before inserting the connector.
Â
This connects to either
NEXUS port on the GND 10

select the device name (GND 10).
2
Select Wind Angle Offset.
3
Based on the direction in which the sensor is facing in
relation to the exact center of the front of the boat, select the
angle in degrees to adjust for the difference in orientation.
The angle is configured clockwise around the mast of the
boat, from the exact center of the front of the boat. For
example, 90 degrees is starboard, and 270 degrees is port.

It is recommended to remove the wind transducer and store
it in a dry location if it will not be used for long periods of
time.
It is recommended to remove the WSI and store it in a dry
location if it will not be used for long periods of time.
When storing the wind transducer, it is best to store it in a
location where it is exposed to light. This maintains the
battery charge in the device.
If you store the wind transducer in a dark location, it is
recommended to replace the battery at the beginning of each
season. Replacement batteries are available from your local
Garmin dealer.
Pairing the Wind Transducer with the WSI
Before you can pair the wind transducer with the WSI, you must
have a
Garmin marine instrument, such as a GMI 20 connected
to the same NMEA 2000 network as the GND
10.
This wind transducer is paired with the WSI at the factory. You
must pair the wind transducer with the WSI only if you replace
the device.
