GWS™ 10 Wind Sensor Installation Instructions

To obtain the best possible performance, install your GWS 10 Wind Sensor according to the following instructions. If you experience difficulty during the installation, contact Garmin® Product Support, or seek the advice of a professional installer.

The GWS 10 communicates with NMEA 2000^® -compatible chartplotters and displays. Refer to www.garmin.com for a list of compatible devices and for more information about NMEA 2000.

NOTE: If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, be sure to read the "NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals" chapter of the Technical Reference for Garmin NMEA 2000 Products on the included CD (GWS 10 with GMTM 10 bundle package only) or click on the "Manuals" hyperlink on the GWS 10 page at www.garmin.com/products/gws10/.

WARNING

See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information.

CAUTION

Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.

Use caution when working from heights.

NOTICE

When drilling or cutting, always check the opposite side of the surface. Be aware of fuel tanks, electrical cables, and hydraulic hoses.

Connect the gray in-line lightning arrester to help prevent lightning strike-related damage to the NMEA 2000 network. The lightning arrester is designed to help prevent damage due to nearby lightning strikes, but it is not able to protect against direct lightning strikes. Garmin is not responsible for lightning strike-related damage.

Installing the GMI 10 (GWS 10 with GMI 10 Bundle Package Only)

If you purchased the GWS 10 with GMI 10 bundle package, use the included GMI 10 Installation Instructions to install the GMI 10.

Assembling the GWS 10

1. Ensure that the shaft lines up correctly with the slot on the anemometer. The socket on the anemometer only fits one way on the shaft.
2. Press on the anemometer until it is seated securely.

NOTE: After the wind sensor is assembled, disassemble it for repair purposes only.

Mounting the GWS 10 on the Mast

1. Route the bare-wire end of the NMEA 2000 backbone cable downward inside or along the mast, leaving an appropriate amount of slack.
2. Drill 1/8 in. (3.3 mm) pilot holes and use the provided screws to mount the GWS 10 in the appropriate orientation (refer to the diagram). If there is not a horizontal surface at the top of the mast, fashion a wedge to mount the unit horizontally. Use the included adhesive-backed mounting template to help position the pilot holes.
3. At the top of the mast, connect the in-line terminator to the backbone cable and to the GWS 10.
4. Secure the in-line terminator to the mast with the provided screws.
5. Pull the cable at the bottom of the mast to remove the slack.
6. Run the bare-wire end of the cable to the existing NMEA 2000 network or to the area where the NMEA 2000 network will be installed.

NOTE: If you do not mount the GWS 10 facing the exact front of the boat, configure the software to the appropriate wind-angle offset (page 5).

Mount the GWS 10 at the top of the mast facing the front of the boat, and parallel with the boat center line

Connecting the GWS 10 to an Existing NMEA 2000 Network

1. Cut the NMEA 2000 backbone cable to the proper length. Ensure that the cable reaches the existing NMEA 2000 network, and leave enough slack cable for routing and attaching the field-installable connector.
2. Assemble and wire the field-installable connector as shown in the diagrams.

Field-Installable Connector Wiring Assignments

1. Attach the field-installable connector to the gray in-line lightning arrestor.
2. Disconnect the male terminator from the backbone of the existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat.

NOTICE

Connect the gray in-line lightning arrester to help prevent lightning strike-related damage to the NMEA 2000 network. The lightning arrestor is designed to help prevent damage due to nearby lightning strikes, but it is not able to protect against direct lightning strikes. Garmin is not responsible for lightning strike-related damage.
5. Connect the in-line lightning arrester to the T-connector at the location from which you removed the male terminator in step 3.

Creating a Basic NMEA 2000 Network for the GWS 10 and the GMI 10

If you do not have an existing NMEA 2000 network, you must install a NMEA 2000 network on your boat to use the GWS 10. For more information on NMEA 2000, visit www.garmin.com.

1. Connect the two included T-connectors together by their sides.
2. The NMEA 2000 power cable must be connected to a 9-16 Vdc power source through the ignition switch of the boat or through an appropriate additional switch (not included).

NOTICE

Connect the included NMEA 2000 power cable to the ignition switch of the boat or through an external switch. The NMEA 2000 network will drain the boat battery if it is connected directly to the battery.

1. Connect the NMEA 2000 power cable to one of the two T-connectors.
2. Connect the included NMEA 2000 drop cable to the other T-connector and to the GM1 10.
3. Add additional T-connectors (not included) for each additional sensor or display device (not included) that is added to the NMEA 2000 network, and connect each sensor or display device to a T-connector with the appropriate drop cable (not included).
4. Connect the female terminator to the appropriate end of the combined T-connectors.

Configuring the GWS 10

Refer to your Garmin Chartplotter or marine instrument owner's manual for specific instructions regarding configuring NMEA 2000 devices.

To configure the orientation:

1. Select Wind Angle Offset if you did not orient the GWS 10 facing the exact front of the boat.
2. Select the angle (in degrees) to adjust for the difference in orientation.

TIP: The angle is configured clockwise around the mast of the boat. For example, 90 degrees is starboard, and 270 degrees is port.

To adjust the Wind Angle Filter setting:

1. Select Wind Angle Filter.

1. Choose from the following settings to adjust the filter:

2. Off—turn off the filter to make the display more responsive to changes in the wind angle.

3. On—select a higher number to increase the responsiveness of the display to changes in the wind angle, or select a lower number to decrease the responsiveness.
4. Auto—automatically adjusts the filter settings based on wind conditions.

To adjust the Wind Speed Filter setting:

1. Select Wind Speed Filter.

1. Choose from the following settings to adjust the filter:

2. Off—turn off the filter to make the display more responsive to changes in the wind speed.

3. On—select a higher number to increase the responsiveness of the display to changes in the wind speed, or select a lower number to decrease the responsiveness.
4. Auto—automatically adjusts the filter settings based on wind conditions.

Configuring the GWS 10 if the Filter and Offset Selections Are Not Shown

Refer to your Garmin Chartplotter or marine instrument owner's manual for instructions regarding configuring NMEA 2000 devices.

To configure the orientation:

1. Calculate the degree of offset of the GWS 10 from the front of the boat.
   TIP: The angle is calculated clockwise around the mast of the boat. For example, 90 degrees is starboard while 270 degrees is port
2. Select Generic Configuration to specify data for the filter and offset settings.
3. Enter: "ANGLEOFFSET=" followed by the value you calculated in step 1 (for example: ANGLEOFFSET=180).

To configure the wind angle filter:

1. Calculate the time constant value for the wind angle filter.

TIP: The time constant value is a number between 0 and 254, which represents the amount of time, in quarter-second increments, that the wind angle must change before it is updated on your display. For example, a value of 40 means that the display will not update the wind angle unless it changes for more than 10 seconds. To use the Auto setting, which adjusts the filter automatically based on wind conditions, use a value of 255.

1. Select Generic Configuration to specify data for the filter and offset settings.
2. Enter the following command: "ANGLEFILTER=" followed by the value you calculated in step 1 (for example: "ANGLEFILTER=12").

To configure the wind speed filter:

1. Calculate a time constant value for the wind speed filter.

TIP: The time constant value is a number between 0 and 254, which represents the amount of time, in quarter-second increments, that the wind speed must change before it is updated on your display. For example, a value of 40 means that the display will not update the wind speed unless it changes for more than 10 seconds. To use the Auto setting, which adjusts the filter automatically based on wind conditions, use a value of 255.

1. Select Generic Configuration to specify data for the filter and offset settings.
2. Enter the following command: "SPEEDFILTER=" followed by the value you calculated in step 1 (for example: "SPEEDFILTER=215").
