True wind angle and wind speed (requires data from a boat speed instrument). Maximum wind speed. VMG, the component of boat speed parallel to the wind (requires data from a boat speed instrument). An installed WIND 3150 has two parts: The display unit. The masthead unit, which has devices for measuring wind speed and wind angle. The unit is powered from the boat's power supply. The WIND 3150 is part of the NAVMAN 3100 family of instruments, which includes instruments for speed, depth, wind and repeaters. These instruments can be connected together to form an integrated data system (see section 9). For maximum benefit, please read this manual carefully before installation and use. Cleaning and maintenance Clean the display unit with a damp cloth or mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, petrol or other solvents. The WIND 3150 display unit Display (backlit) Wind angle pointer Alarm symbol Shows true wind speed and angle Shows apparent wind speed and angle Four keys (backlit) 111 x 111 mm (4.4" x 4.4") Data display (Wind speed, Wind angle, VMG, Max wind speed) LCD display (backlit) Note: If an item displays as dashes (-- --) then it means that the value is not available. For example, true wind values are not available if the WIND 3150 is not connected to a boat speed instrument. Important It is the owner's sole responsibility to install and use the instrument and masthead unit in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. The user of this product is solely responsible for observing safe boating practices.

The unit does not have its own power switch. When the unit is turned on, the pointer rotates once as the unit performs a self-calibration. When the unit is turned off, any settings you have made are retained. If the word SIM flashes on the LCD display then the unit is in simulate mode (see section 2-5). When the alarm sounds, the internal beeper sounds, the symbol on the display flashes and any external beepers or lights operate. Press any key to mute the alarm. The alarm stays muted until the wind speed drops below the alarm value. The alarm will sound again if the wind speed exceeds the alarm value again. 2-5 Simulate mode Simulate mode allows you to become familiar with the unit off the water. In Simulate mode, the WIND 3150 functions normally except that the data from the masthead unit is ignored and the unit generates this data internally. The word SIM flashes on the LCD display. To turn Simulate mode on or off: 1 2 Turn the power off. Hold down while you turn the power on. 2-2 The keys The unit has four keys, labelled In this manual: and . Press means to push the key for less than a second. Hold means to hold the key down for the specified time or until the display changes. Press one key + another key means to push both keys together. 2-3 Set backlight for display and keys You can set the backlight to one of four brightness levels or off (the key backlight does not turn off). Press once to display the current backlight level, press again to change the level: 2-6 How the unit measures wind speed and angle The masthead unit has a rotor with three wind cups which spins as the wind moves past the boat. The masthead unit measures how fast the wind cups are spinning to calculate the wind speed. The masthead unit has a vane which points in the angle that the wind is coming from. The masthead unit electronically senses the direction the vane is pointing. Masthead unit Vane Backlight level 2 (flashes) 2-4 Alarm The WIND 3150 will sound an alarm if the alarm is turned on and the apparent wind speed exceeds the alarm value. To turn the alarm on or off and set the alarm value: 1 Press to display the Wind Speed Alarm screen: Alarm is on Wind alarm speed 50 kts (flashes) 2 3 4 To change the alarm value, press To turn the alarm on or off, press Press . . or .

True wind speed and angle are calculated values that allow for the relative speed of the boat. If the boat is moving, then the apparent wind speed is different to the true wind speed and the apparent wind angle is different to the true wind angle, as shown below. If the WIND 3150 is not connected to a speed instrument, then the unit always displays apparent Apparent values wind speed and angle. If the WIND 3150 is connected to display to a boat speed instrument, press apparent or true wind speed and angle: Press True values Boat is at rest. Apparent wind speed equals true wind speed and apparent wind angle equals true wind angle: Wind, 20 kts from North Boat is at rest Boat moving upwind. Apparent wind speed is greater than true wind speed and apparent wind angle is closer to dead ahead than true wind angle: True wind speed 20 kts True wind speed 20 kts Apparent wind speed 28 kts True wind angle 45° Apparent wind speed 28 kts Apparent wind angle 30° Boat speed 10 kts Boat speed 10 kts Boat moving downwind. Apparent wind speed is less than true wind speed and apparent wind angle is closer to dead ahead than true wind angle: True wind speed 20 kts Apparent wind speed 15 kts True wind angle 135° True wind speed 20 kts Apparent wind speed 15 kts Apparent wind angle 107° 7 Boat speed 10 kts Boat speed 10 kts NAVMAN WIND 3150 Installation and Operation Manual 4 Display wind angle The pointer shows wind angle in degrees (0 to 180° port or starboard). To display the numeric wind angle as well, press until the degrees symbol is displayed, for example: Wind angle Wind from 30° to starboard If the WIND 3150 is connected to a boat speed instrument, press to display TRUE or APP (apparent) wind angle (see section 3). 4-1 Set wind dampi ...
