Configuring the Wind Transducer
Before you can configure the wind transducer, it must be
connected through a GND 10 to a NMEA 2000 network with a
Garmin marine instrument, such as a GMI™ 20. Refer to the
marine instrument owner's manual for more information on
configuring NMEA 2000 devices.
1
On the marine instrument, go to the NMEA 2000 settings.
2
Select the name of the device (GND 10) to configure.
Adjusting the Orientation
You should adjust this setting if the sensor does not face the
exact front of the boat.
1
On the marine instrument, from the NMEA 2000 settings,
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.

Adjusting the Wind Angle Filter
You should adjust this setting to change the responsiveness of
the display to changes in the wind direction.
1
On the marine instrument, from the NMEA 2000 settings,
select the device name (GND 10).
2
Select
Wind Angle Filter
.
3
Select an option:
• Select
Off
to turn off the filter and make the display the
most responsive to changes in the wind angle.
• Select
On
and adjust the value. Select a higher number to
increase the responsiveness of the display to changes in
the wind angle, or select a lower number to decrease the
responsiveness.
• Select
Auto
to automatically adjust the filter settings
based on wind conditions.

Adjusting the Wind Speed Filter
You should adjust this setting to change the responsiveness of
the display to changes in the wind speed.
1
On the marine instrument, from the NMEA 2000 settings,
select the device name (GND 10).
2
Select
Wind Speed Filter

Select an option:
• Select
Off
to turn off the filter and make the display the
most responsive to changes in the wind speed.
• Select

and adjust the value. Select a higher number to
increase the responsiveness of the display to changes in
the wind speed, or select a lower number to decrease the
responsiveness.
• Select

Maintenance and Storage
• If needed, use a mild soap solution to clean the wind
transducer, and rinse it with water. Do not use detergents or
high-pressure water.
• 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.
1
Remove the battery cover on the wind transducer.
2
Bring the wind transducer within 2 m (6 ft.) of the WSI, and
hold the white button on the circuit board until the LED turns
off.
The old pairing information is cleared from the wind
transducer.
3
On the marine instrument, from the NMEA 2000 settings,
select the GND 10.
4
Select
Generic Configuration
.
5
Enter "
UP
" (this stands for un-pair), and select
Done
.
The old pairing information is cleared from the WSI.
6
Bring the wind transducer within 2 m (6 ft.) of the WSI, press,
but do not hold, the white button on the circuit board, and
observe the LED:
• When the LED flashes twice, then turns off, the pairing
was successful.
• When the LED flashes twice, then flashes once more for
about one second, the pairing was unsuccessful. Move
the device closer to the WSI and repeat this step until the
pairing is successful.
7
Replace the battery cover on the wind transducer.
