GNX™ 52 vezeték nélküli vitorlázócsomag

The GNX Wind display is designed to show wind data, including wind speed and direction, wirelessly transmitted by the gWind Wireless 2 sensor. It can also display true wind speed and angle if a boat speed data source is connected to the NMEA 2000 network.

The gWind Wireless 2 sensor is powered by an internal battery that must be installed before mounting. It also has solar charging capabilities, as it is recommended to store it in a location exposed to light to maintain battery charge. If the sensor is stored in a dark place, it is advisable to replace the battery at the start of each season.

The GNX Wind display has a water resistance rating compliant with IEC 60529 IPX7, meaning it can withstand accidental immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The gWind Wireless 2 wind sensor is rated IPX-6 under IEC 60529, providing protection against heavy seas.

The GNX Wind display is designed for flush mounting. Installation requires cutting a 90 mm (3.5 inch) hole in the mounting surface using the supplied template, drilling pilot holes of 2.8 mm (7/64 inch) for the screws, then securing the instrument with the provided screws. It is recommended to apply marine sealant around the rear sealing gasket to prevent leaks behind the dashboard.

The gWind Wireless 2 wind sensor must be mounted on a horizontal surface at the top of the mast. If no horizontal surface is available, an appropriate shim must be added. It is crucial that the transducer be installed facing forward on the boat, parallel to the centerline. If the orientation is not perfectly aligned, it can be adjusted via the GNX Wind display to ensure the accuracy of wind angle data.

Yes, the GNX Wind display connects to power and data sources via an NMEA 2000 network. The kit includes the necessary NMEA 2000 cables and connectors to connect to an existing network or to create a basic one, allowing it to receive data from other NMEA 2000 devices, such as speed sensors.

The GNX Wind display itself cannot directly receive NMEA 0183 data. However, it can display NMEA 0183 data if it comes from sources connected to a GNX 20 or GNX 21 device (sold separately) that are on the same NMEA 2000 network.

The Garmin GNX™ 52 pack is a complete solution for wind measurement. It includes the gWind Wireless 2 wireless wind sensor, the GNX Wind display, an NMEA 2000 cable, an NMEA 2000 T-connector, an NMEA 2000 power cable, an NMEA 2000 termination plug, a flush-mount installation kit, and a protective cover.

To install the GNX Wind display, you must first cut a 90 mm (3.5 in) hole in the mounting surface using the provided template. Then drill pilot holes of 2.8 mm (7/64 in). If you are mounting the unit in fiberglass, it is recommended to use a countersink drill to drill through the gelcoat layer to prevent cracking. Apply a marine sealant around the rear sealing gasket before securing it with the supplied screws. For stainless steel screws in fiberglass, an anti-seize lubricant is advised.

The gWind Wireless 2 wind transducer must be mounted on a horizontal surface at the top of the mast. If the surface is not horizontal, a suitable shim must be added to create a flat surface. The transducer must be installed facing the bow of the boat, parallel to the centerline. If the alignment is not perfect, it can be numerically adjusted after installation via the GNX Wind display.

Yes, the GNX™ 52 pack is designed to connect to an NMEA 2000 network. The GNX Wind display and the gWind Wireless 2 sensor communicate via this network. The included NMEA 2000 cables and connectors allow you to integrate it into your existing network or create a basic NMEA 2000 network if needed. The NMEA 2000 network provides power and data to the marine instrument.

The GNX Wind display dimensions are as follows:

Without protective cover: 110 x 115 x 30 mm (height x width x depth)With protective cover: 115 x 120 x 35.5 mm (height x width x depth)

Yes, the gWind Wireless 2 wind sensor has an IEC 60529 IPX-6 water resistance rating, meaning it is protected against heavy seas.

The gWind Wireless 2 wind transducer can measure wind speeds from 0.9 to 90 knots (0.5 to 50 m/s).

The GNX Wind display receives wind data directly from the gWind Wireless 2 wireless wind sensor. If the sensor and display are purchased together in a bundle, they are usually pre-paired at the factory. The sensor transmits data wirelessly to the display, which can then display and share it via the NMEA 2000 network.

The GNX Wind display cannot directly receive NMEA 0183 data. However, it can display NMEA 0183 data from sources connected to a GNX 20 or GNX 21 device (sold separately) on the same NMEA 2000 network. The instrument can also receive data from Nexus instruments and sensors using a GND™ 10 device (sold separately).

To avoid any interference with a magnetic compass, the GNX Wind display must not be installed within 209 mm (8.25 inches) of a compass.

You can adjust the orientation of the gWind Wireless 2 sensor directly from the GNX Wind display. From an instrument screen on the GNX Wind, go to settings, select SENS (sensor), then ANGL (angle). You can then estimate and enter the angle in degrees clockwise by which the sensor points relative to the central axis of the bow of the boat.

Yes, the pack includes the necessary NMEA 2000 cables and connectors, including an NMEA 2000 power cable, to connect the device to your NMEA 2000 network. The NMEA 2000 network supplies power to the instrument. It is important to connect the NMEA 2000 power cable to the boat's ignition switch or another inline switch, and not directly to the battery, to avoid discharging it.

The GNX Wind display allows you to select predefined profiles or create custom profiles. A POWERBOAT profile is available by default, displaying useful instruments for powerboats, such as GPS speed, GPS heading, depth, bearing to waypoint, and distance to next waypoint, as well as water temperature. You can also configure data fields and instrument page layouts.
