NX Wind transducer set
NX Wireless Wind transducer
Installation Manual
Thank you for choosing a Nexus product. Through this manual we would like to help
you to install your new Nexus product. Please read through this manual carefully before
starting your installation. This unique wind transducer provides both wind speed and
wind angle relative the boat. If a Speed transducer is connected to the system, true
wind speed and angle is computed. In addition, a compass or GPS antenna may be
used to compute true wind direction relative North
This transducer set can be used in any Nexus Network system. It may even be installed
in a Nexus or NX2 system substituting the standard wired transducer.

IMPORTANT Installation information!
BEFORE placing the wind transducer on the mast, a pairing
procedure must be done!
1.1 Location
The transducer should be mounted on a horizontal surface in the mast head. If the
masthead is not horizontal a shim has to be added. A 15 shim for Seldén masts is
available (art.no 67400-15).

Pairing procedure of wind transducer
When all instruments have been installed, a pairing procedure between the wireless
wind transducer and the WSI unit must be made to introduce it to your specific NX
network system. This is how you do it:
a. Make sure the wind transducer is fully charged!
If the wind transducer has been stored in a dark place for a long time,
you must first charge it by exposing the solar cell for sun light some
hours before use.
b. Pairing!
Hold the wind transducer within 2m from the Wireless WSI unit, and
then press the INIT button (through the hole in the bottom of the
battery lid) by use of the “pin”.
If the batter lid is open, you may see the LED. The built in LED will
flash 2 times then lit for 2s, before it is turned off. Your Nexus system
is now ready for use.
If the pairing of some reason did not work, the LED will flash a third
time. You should then release the WSI-box airing, see below!

Re-initialization of the wind transducer
To release the Wind transducer and re-initializing it, press and hold the INIT
button for 5s.
The wind transducer can then be re-initialised again to the same, or to any other
WSI-box as described above.
