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

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.

Advanced Calibration
Advanced calibration tools are available for this device using a
connected PC running the NexusRace™ software. You can
download the software from
. You must
connect the PC to the GND 10. For more information, see the
GND 10 Installation Instructions.
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.
