Nexus Connection Considerations
If you change from a Nexus wind sensor to the gWind sensor,
you must move the mast cable from the wind port to the network
port on the Nexus server on pins 5, 6, 7, and 8. The network
server is NX2, and the classic server is BUS. See the Nexus
device manual for more information.
Installing the Nexus Field-Installable Connector
You must use the included field-installable connector to create
the appropriate cable length for your installation.
1
Connect the finished end of the included bulk cable to the
wind transducer on the mast.
2
Route the bare end of the cable to the location of the
GND 10.
3
Leaving an appropriate amount of slack, cut the bare end of
the wire, remove the casing, and strip the individual wires.

Slide the seal into the sleeve and slide the pinch ring over the
seal.
8
Screw the pressing screw into the sleeve to complete the
assembly of the field-installable connector.
9
Connect the field-installable connector to either NEXUS port
on the GND 10.
Configuring the Wind Transducer
Before you can configure the wind transducer, it must be
connected through a GND 10 to a NMEA 2000 network with a
Garmin marine instrument, such as a GMI
20. Refer to the
marine instrument owner's manual for more information on
configuring NMEA 2000 devices.
1
On the marine instrument, go to the NMEA 2000 settings.
2
Select the name of the device (GND 10) to configure.
Adjusting the Orientation
You should adjust this setting if the sensor does not face the
exact front of the boat.
1
On the marine instrument, from the NMEA 2000 settings,
select the device name (GND 10).
2
Select Wind Angle Offset.
3
Based on the direction in which the sensor is facing in
relation to the exact center of the front of the boat, select the
angle in degrees to adjust for the difference in orientation.
The angle is configured clockwise around the mast of the
boat, from the exact center of the front of the boat. For
example, 90 degrees is starboard, and 270 degrees is port.
4
Select Done.
Adjusting the Wind Angle Filter
You should adjust this setting to change the responsiveness of
the display to changes in the wind direction.
1
On the marine instrument, from the NMEA 2000 settings,
select the device name (GND 10).
2
Select Wind Angle Filter.
3
Select an option:
Select Off to turn off the filter and make the display the
most responsive to changes in the wind angle.
Select On and adjust the value. 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.
Select Auto to automatically adjust the filter settings
based on wind conditions.
4
Select Done.
Adjusting the Wind Speed Filter
You should adjust this setting to change the responsiveness of
the display to changes in the wind speed.
1
On the marine instrument, from the NMEA 2000 settings,
select the device name (GND 10).
2
Select Wind Speed Filter.
3
Select an option:
Select Off to turn off the filter and make the display the
most responsive to changes in the wind speed.
Select On and adjust the value. Select a higher number to
increase the responsiveness of the display to changes in
