GNX™ Wind: vēja instruments

The Garmin GNX Wind instrument is a monochrome display dedicated to visualizing wind data for sailboats. Designed for seamless integration into NMEA 2000 networks, it provides accurate and reliable readings of essential wind information.

The dimensions of the Garmin GNX Wind instrument are:

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)

The instrument weighs 247 g without the protective cover and 283 g with the protective cover.

No, the Garmin GNX Wind instrument features a monochrome display. It is designed for clear and efficient wind data display.

The Garmin GNX Wind housing is made of fully waterproof polycarbonate, and its lens is made of glass with an anti-reflective finish, ensuring optimal durability in a marine environment.

The Garmin GNX Wind instrument operates within an extended temperature range, from -15°C to 70°C.

The Garmin GNX Wind instrument requires an NMEA 2000 input voltage between 9 and 16 Vdc.

Yes, the Garmin GNX Wind is water-resistant and complies with IEC 60529 IPX7 standards. This means it can withstand accidental immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

When choosing the installation location, ensure the surface is flat and sturdy enough to support the device's weight and protect it from excessive vibrations or shocks. The location must also provide sufficient space at the back for cable routing and connections.

To avoid any interference with a magnetic compass, the instrument must not be installed at a distance of less than 209 mm from the compass.

Yes, a flush-mount template is included in the product box. It is recommended to use it to precisely cut the hole in your dashboard.

For flush-mount installation, you will need to cut a hole 90 mm (3.5 inches) in diameter.

To ensure watertightness, place the supplied sealing gasket at the rear of the unit and apply marine sealant around the gasket before securing the instrument in the dashboard cutout.

If you are mounting the device in fiberglass, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill pilot holes to prevent cracking of the gelcoat layer. It is also advisable to apply an anti-seize lubricant to stainless steel screws before installation.

If you will not have access to the rear of the device after installation, it is imperative to connect all necessary cables to the device before placing it in the cutout. Do not forget to cover unused connectors with the protective caps provided to prevent corrosion of the metal contacts.

Yes, the Garmin GNX Wind instrument is designed for seamless integration into NMEA 2000 networks. The NMEA 2000 network provides both power and data to the instrument. NMEA 2000 cables and connectors are included to facilitate connection to an existing network or the creation of a basic network.

Although the instrument cannot directly receive NMEA 0183 data, it can display this data if it comes from sources connected to a GNX 20 or GNX 21 device (sold separately) on the same NMEA 2000 network.

Yes, the instrument can receive data from Nexus instruments and sensors using a GND™ 10 device (sold separately), which acts as a bridge.

The Garmin GNX Wind can receive data from various NMEA 2000 devices, such as wind sensors or boat speed sensors, via the NMEA 2000 network.
