Wind speed and direction NMEA mode
This chapter deals specifically with the NMEA (National Marine Elecronics Association) mode of opera-
tion. When used in this mode the display must be connected to a wind sensor with NMEA output such
as model WS-MMW-005 solid state wind speed and direction sensor and the RM4
CodE
function must
be set to
NMEA
.
Communication settings require the baud rate (
bAUd RAtE
function) to be set to
4800
with no parity
(
PrtY
function) and 8 data bits (
dAtA
function).
The display can be set to show wind speed, wind direction or to toggle (using
^
or
v
button) or
automatically alternate the display between wind speed and direction. Wind direction (
ch1
) or wind
speed (
ch2
) can be chosen to activate the internal relays via the
A1
and
A2
functions.
Other settings allow the wind speed units and default display to be selected. See Chapter
, page
for
details of setup functions for the NMEA wind speed and direction mode.
See section
, page
for wiring details of the WS-MMW-005 NMEA wind sensor.
