10 Installation Instructions
This device bridges the connection between Nexus
®
network
devices and a NMEA 2000
®
network. When the device is
connected to a computer using the included USB cable, you can
calibrate advanced wind transducers such as the gWind Race
™
using the NexusRace
™
software, and you can use data from the
transducers with programs such as Expedition
®
and Adrena.
Important Safety Information

Important Safety and Product Information
guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important
information.
CAUTION
To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles,
ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or
sanding.

When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
Mounting Considerations
NOTICE
This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed
to extreme temperatures or conditions. The temperature range
for this device is listed in the product specifications. Extended
exposure to temperatures exceeding the specified temperature
range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device
failure. Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related
consequences are not covered by the warranty.
When selecting a mounting location, observe these
considerations.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device
should not be installed closer to a compass than the
compass-safe distance value listed in the product
specifications.
• You can use the included screws to mount the device on your
boat. If the included screws are not appropriate for the
mounting surface, suitable hardware must be purchased
separately.

surface.
Connection Considerations
NMEA 2000 Connection Considerations
This device connects to a NMEA 2000 network on your boat to
share information from connected Nexus network devices.
If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the
“NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals” chapter of the
