3.3 Course: 180° Wind Display Shifting
•
Forward:
With its north marking, the wind direction transmitter resp. the combined
wind transmitter is aligned normally to the bow of the ship , which is identical to the
symbol on the display (bow = 0°, rear = 180°, course = forward).
•
All calculations to the display of the „relative wind“ or „true wind” refer to this
constellation.
Backward:
If the ship goes „backward“, all calculations for displaying the „relative
wind“ or „true wind“ must be corrected (bow = rear, rear = bow, backward = forward).
•
Shifting:
Shifting of the course is done by closing the contact RES. at the strip
terminal REMOTE (see
chapter
). Afore, this switching function has to be
activated by MODE 7-1 (see
chapter
)..
The function status of the contact RES. Is displayed by activating the button INFO&
RESET (see
chapter
).
When shifting the course to „backwards“ the received parameter wind direction is
turned by 180°. Thus, the presentation of the wind is done furthermore in course (rear
becomes bow).
The shifting of the course affects, moreover, all outgoing telegrams.
o
Telegrams via COM1 for the external wind displays (Slave).
o
Telegrams via COM4 (NACOS) and COM5 (COSTOMER).
