7 OPTION CANBUS-RM
7.1
TYPICAL INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
The CanBus-RM option is compatible with each CV7 sensor.
Connectors and mast angle sensor are not supplied.
7.2
CONNECTIONS
Open the junction box to access to the connectors
The CanBus-RM junction box features connection terminals
for the mast angle sensor (potentiometer), the CV7 and the
NMEA2000 network.

COMMISSIONING
Refer to the connected instruments’ manual for pages setup
and all functions related to wind and atmospheric pressure
functions. Once all wiring and connections are completed,
turn the power on and check the alignment. It may be
adjusted from your instrume
nt’s setup menu. Alternatively,
this can be done directly from the CanBus.
7.5
CALIBRATING THE MAST ANGLE SENSOR:
MID-SHIP AND MAST ANGLE ENDS
Use the «-» and «+» keys to change a value that is
previously selected with the switch button
“S1”.
In positions 3 to 6, the values read on the wind display are
the mast angles measures, used for calibration of the mast
angle sensor.
The calibration process is done in the following order:
Position 7:
+ “S1”, reset to factory settings
Position 6:
identification of th
e potentiometer’s polarity
(port-starboard values)
Position 5: mid-ship
. Place mast in mid-ship position and
set the angle to 0°
Position 4: port-end.
Place the mast in port-end position
(like sailing starboard) and set the angle to the relevant
value (theoretical or measured)
Position 3: starboard-end.
Place the mast in starboard-
end position (like sailing port side) and set the angle to the
relevant value (theoretical or measured)
7.6
WIND SENSOR ALIGNEMENT
Fine alignment of the mast sensor can be achieved at sea.
Sail on starboard and port to note the correction that needs
to be applied from a tack to another.
Place the rotary button (S1) in
position 1 and use the “+”
and “-“ keys to change the value read on the display.
Adjust the value accordingly to the difference measured
from a tack to another during sea trials.
The wind angle will be correctly read on the display.
7.7
CALIBRATION OF THE BAROMETER
The atmospheric pressure sensor is calibrated against the
nearest reference located on the shore level, such as a
weather station.
The rotary button (S1) placed on position 2 allows
calibrating the atmospheric pressure. Once the button is on
position 2, the value on the display can be adjusted using
the “+” and “-“ keys to match the reference. Make sure your
display is set to
“mb” unit.
These values are automatically stored in the device’s
memory. They can be fine adjusted after sea trials.
