4 65_Apparent_Wind_Monitor_FR_11
- Automatic: Depending on the sensors' condition, the Apparent Wind
monitor selects the sensor to be used, giving priority to the main sensor, Nr 1.
In case of a short circuit on the Input 1, the Apparent Wind Sensor switches
automatically to Input 2 if there is a sensor connected to that port.
Mounting example: Carbowind is on the Input 1 as main wind sensor and AG HR on
Input 2 as backup sensor.
2.3 Wind data denoising
This function is available only with HR type sensors (Carbowind and AG HR).
Denoising is processed with the help of a 6 axes IMU (
Inertial Measurement Unit
) 6 axes
integrated in the Apparent Wind Monitor, providing instant boat's attitude/behaviour.
Therefore, the Apparent Wind Monitor must be installed close to the mast foot
(refer to Installation chapter)
The boat's attitude/behaviour data combined with the mast height, already entered
via a Multigraphic V2.4 (or newer), are used to correct the raw wind data coming from
the mast head unit. The result gives "denoised" apparent wind angle and apparent
wind speed.
2.4 LEDs Status
Three LEDs wind sensor and one LED mast angle are featured on the front.
- Status of the wind sensor LED AG1 – AG2 – AG3:
Green: Wind sensor manually or automatically selected and correct operation of
that sensor.
Red: relevant sensor is faulty. Selected sensor is faulty or not present.
Off: Not selected
- LED for mast rotation sensor:
- Fixed green when the function is enabled and the sensor connected
- Flashing red when the function is activated and the sensor not connected or
out of order
- Off when the function is disabled
