Adjusting the wind transducer

Adjusting the wind transducer compensates for any small errors which may exist in the alignment of the wind transducer.

Prerequisites:

  • You will need to be underway, with sufficient space to proceed unhindered.

  • Conditions should be calm (i.e. a slight sea) and a steady breeze. Try to ensure the vessel is not rolling or pitching too much.

  1. Steer your vessel directly into the wind

    With your vessel sailing directly into the wind the Apparent Wind Angle (AWA) should be 0 degrees.

  2. Select the device that the transducer you are calibrating is connected to.

    A list of available transducer data is displayed.

  3. (1)Select Wind.

    This step is only applicable when calibrating a wind transducer connected via an iTC-5.

  4. Select Wind Xdcr Adjust.
  5. Use the Up and Down buttons to adjust the offset value so that the reported AWA is 0 degrees.
  6. Select Select.
