1.0  INTRODUCTION

The Model 32500 ELECTRONIC COMPASS measures magnetic 

heading, wind speed and direction signals from YOUNG sensors, 

and signals from four general purpose voltage inputs.  Wind direction 

input may be combined with the direction input to obtain true direction.  

Voltage inputs may be used with YOUNG temperature and humidity, 

barometric pressure, precipitation, or other sensors.  These input 

signals are converted into scaled values and placed on a serial string, 

which is output at up to 15 hertz.
Measurements are available in several  formats in either full duplex  

RS-232 or half-duplex RS-485 signals. Both continuous and polled 

serial outputs are available. When polled, up to 16 units can be 

networked together. For marine applications the 32500 produces 

standard NMEA serial output sentences. Calibrated voltage outputs 

for wind speed and direction are also provided when the 32500 is 

connected to a YOUNG wind sensor.

2.0  INSTALLATION

The 32500 is supplied in a weather-resistant enclosure with a mounting 

adapter that fits 1 inch IPS pipe (1.34 inch nominal diameter). When 

used with the YOUNG Wind Monitor or 86xxx series Ultrasonic 

Anemometer the mounting adapter engages with the sensor 

orientation notch. Refer to the WIRING DIAGRAM for electrical 

connection details and jumper settings.

It is important to install the 32500 so it remains level during operation. 

This becomes increasingly important when used at northern and 

southern latitudes far from the equator since progressively more of 

the earth’s magnetic flux becomes vertical. By keeping the 32500 

level at these latitudes, the measurements will be free of the vertical 

flux influence and remain accurate.

If possible, avoid installing the compass near magnetic devices or 

machinery. After installation, the compass must be calibrated to correct 

for local magnetic conditions. If the compass is moved or its local 

environment changes significantly (machinery moved), the compass 

should be calibrated again.

3.0  OPERATION

Operation begins automatically when power is applied. Jumper 

settings configure the 32500 for common output formats as well as 

output type.  Input signal connections are dependent upon the serial 

output format and input type selected.

3.1 JUMPER CONFIGURATIONS

W1 JUMPERS  A, B, and C, determine serial output format.  Jumper 

configurations and associated output format are listed below: 

1 signifies that jumper is installed, 0 signifies that jumper is omitted. 

See the SERIAL FORMAT DIAGRAM for more details.

A B C

SERIAL OUTPUT FORMAT (Baud Rate, Output Rate)

0 0 0 ASCII Ouput (9600, 2Hz)

0 0 1 Polled ASCII (9600)

0 1 0 NMEA1 (4800, 2 Hz)

0 1 1 NMEA2 (4800, 2 Hz)

1 0 0 RMYT (9600, 15 Hz)

1 0 1 PRECIP (9600, 15 Hz)

1 1 0 PRECIP POLLED (9600)

1 1 1 SOFTWARE Mode (set by user, see section 4.2)

ASCII and POLLED ASCII are general purpose outputs that may 

be used with the YOUNG 26800 or devices that can communicate 

serially.  
NMEA1 and NMEA2 outputs are generally for marine applications. 

NMEA1 produces a “$WIMVW” string containing speed and direction 

values.NMEA2 produces both a “$WIMVW” and “$WIXDR” string, 

the latter containing temperature, humidity and pressure values.
RMYT is a binary format for use with the YOUNG Wind Tracker.

PRECIP and PRECIP POLLED configure VIN4 as a special input to 

count tipping bucket precipitation gauge switch closures. (Requires 

a 10K ohm resistor from VIN4 to EXC terminal.)
SOFTWARE mode allows output format and other parameters to 

be set using serial commands. Please see section 4.0 SERIAL 

COMMUNICATION and the SERIAL FORMAT DIAGRAM for more 

information.
W2 & W3 JUMPERS determine output connection type. Only one 

connection type may be used at a time. Please refer to the WIRING 

DIAGRAM for jumper location and connection details.
