Follow the safety precautions below to reduce the risk of poor product

performance, property damage, personal injury, and/or death.

WARNING: Correct Installation Important

The WeatherStation Instrument must be installed and operated according to the

instructions in this owners guide.

WARNING: Installation Safety

Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when installing.

WARNING: Compass Safe Distance

The WeatherStation Instrument must be a minimum of 0.3m (1') from other

standard and steering compasses.

WARNING: Do Not Install Near Artificial Magnetic Field

The WeatherStation Instrument must be a safe distance from ferrous metals and

anything that can create a magnetic field to prevent interference to the magnetic

compass.

WARNING: Electrical Safety

The power supply must be OFF before making electrical connections.

WARNING: Voltage

The power supply voltage must be that specified for the model.

• WX models 9 - 40 VDC

• Models with heater 24VDC only

WARNING: Fuse or Circuit Breaker

A safe installation requires a 0.5 amp fast-blow fuse or circuit breaker. Except,

models with a heater require a 3 amp fast-blow fuse or circuit breaker.

WARNING: Battery

Make power connections to a power source that is isolated from the engine start

battery(s). Voltage drops may cause the WeatherStation instrument to lose

information and/or change operating mode.

WARNING: Calibrating the Compass

The internal compass may need to be calibrated after the WeatherStation

Instrument is installed. Perform the pretest to determine if calibration is necessary.

WARNING: 150WX

These models incorporate a two-axis compass. Significant errors can occur in the

heading when a vehicle/boat is pitching and rolling. If there is an error in the

heading, there also will be a corresponding error in the true wind direction. Errors

can be minimized or eliminated by using data from an external compass.

WARNING

Navigation Aid Only—The WeatherStation Instrument is

only an aid to navigation and should never be solely relied

upon. It is not a replacement for traditional navigation aids

and techniques. Only official government charts contain all

the information needed for safe navigation.
