Acquire data through its NMEA input
Send data via its NMEA output
Exchange data on the Plastimo bus
In the event of an alarm, activate external lights and buzzers
To do so, it is supplied with 2 connection cables:
1 connector-free cable for the power supply, the bus, the NMEA IN & OUT, the alarm
output
1 LT8 cable for connection to the wind vane-gauge sensor
The WIND/WIND-a is part of the advanSea family of navigation instruments,
including instruments for measuring speed, depth, and wind. They may be
connected together to form an integrated data system for a boat (see chapter 2.6).

Electrical specifications
Buzzer output (green
wire):
Switched to ground, open collector, 30 V DC and 300 mA max. It
is recommended to protect this output with a 300 mA fuse.
NMEA 0183:
Version 3.01, asynchronous 4800 baud, 8 bit link, without parity,
1 stop bit. The electrical levels used on the NMEA output are
referenced to the ground and vary according to the system’s
voltage supply. .On powering on, a proprietary NMEA frame
$PNKEV, WIND V1.2*25 is sent to identify the transmitter.
