Maintenance of the VDO Ocean Line Wind
The indicating instrument is maintenance-free. Clean the indicating
instrument with a damp, non-fuzzing or anti-static cloth. Do not use
cleaning detergents.
The wind sensor does not need any maintenance. Do not oil the sensor
bearings, as the oil may gum and attract dirt particles.
The electrical contacts of the socket at the mast footing should be
cleaned once per season. Oxidized contacts can lead to system
failures.
Troubleshooting
Fault
Cause/ Remedy:
- VDO Ocean Line Wind
- Check electrical connections are
without function
accordance with the wiring in
diagram
- Check the on-board voltage,
supply voltage is 10.8 to 32 V DC
- Check contacts and connections
for corrosion or dirt deposits
- Check mast cable integrity
