Installation of Masthead Unit
The masthead boom
(rotating cups and wind vane)
is designed to mount in the masthead mounting
bracket
(see
previous
section).
The boom
should
be
slid into
the
grommeted
hole until it
seats
firmly
over
the rear alignment pin
(see
figure
5).
At this point the
boom
retaining
pin
should
be inserted to its full
extent.
Make
sure
the wind
cups
are
on
the bottom
end of
wind
sensor housing when the boom is
mounted.
The masthead
cable
connector
should
now be
plugged into the receptacle on the mounting bracket.
After mating the
connector
set, rotate the
locking
ring
until it
seats
to secure the
connection.
The
cable is
designed to provide a drip loop, but this
loop
must
not interfere with any masthead hardware
(spinnaker
halyards,
blocks,
etc).
The masthead installation
is
now
complete
and
ready for operation.

Instrument Alignment
With LX-360
turned on, one can adjust
the lower
;.idicating
unit
to compensate
for
any
misalignment
f the masthead
sender.
A person at
the top
of
the
mast should
first
align
the wind vane by hand so it points exactly
forward;
this
can also be done
by
securing
the
wind vane with
tape
before the
mast is
stepped.
After this
is done,
locate
the
slotted shaft labeled
POINTER
ADJUST in
the
center of
the LX-360 rear panel
(see
Figure 6).
Turn the
shaft with
a
slotted screwdriver
until the
pointer lines up at
the zero
mark.
This
completes
the
alignment process.
Be
sure to
remove
any
tape
used
to
secure the wind vane when
alignment
is
completed.
Repeaters, Wind Expanders
Provisions have been made
for
the use
of an
LX-
360R
remote
display or
AWX Wind Expander. Direc-
tional
and speed accuracy will
not be
affected
by this
addition,
although
the
second
unit's directional
alignment must be
matched to the master
at
the time
of
installation.
To
use a repeater or wind expander with an
LX-
360
system,
mast wiring must
be paralleled from the
mction
box to the remote. In
addition,
12
volt
power
""ires
must
also be connected
to the
repeater (see
figure 7).
