Frequently Asked Questions - FI-502 CH Wind Angle FURUNO

How do I install the FI-502 wind angle indicator?
Mount the unit on a flat surface using the provided bracket or flush mount kit. Connect the wind vane sensor to the input terminals as per the wiring diagram in the manual. Ensure power is connected to 12-24 V DC.
What does the CH in FI-502 CH stand for?
CH likely stands for 'Course Heading' or a specific sensor interface variant. It indicates compatibility with certain wind vane models.
How do I calibrate the wind angle display?
Calibration is typically done by aligning the sensor with vessel heading. Refer to the manual for specific steps: usually involves setting the reference angle (e.g., bow) using a calibration button.
Can I use this indicator with any wind vane?
It is designed for Furuno wind vanes with a standard voltage output. Check the sensor type; it may require a specific adapter for third-party sensors.
How do I adjust the backlight brightness?
Press and hold the 'LIGHT' button (if available) or use the dimmer control on the rear panel. Some models have an automatic daylight sensor.
What should I do if the display flickers?
Check the power supply voltage (should be 12-24 V DC). Loose connections or a failing sensor can cause flickering. Clean the connectors and ensure proper grounding.
Is the FI-502 weatherproof?
Yes, it has an IPX6 rating, meaning it is protected against powerful water jets. However, avoid direct high-pressure washing.
How do I reset the alarm?
Press the 'ALARM' button to acknowledge. If the alarm persists, check the deviation setting: the alarm triggers when wind angle deviates more than the set threshold.
Can I connect this to a plotter?
If your unit has NMEA output (optional), you can connect it to a compatible plotter. The FI-502 CH may output wind angle data as an NMEA sentence.
How do I clean the display without damaging it?
Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or mild soap. Avoid alcohol, acetone, or abrasive cleaners. Never spray directly onto the unit.
