H5000 Operation Manual

Use SOG as boat speed

If boat speed is not available from a paddle wheel sensor it is possible to use speed over
ground from a GPS. SOG will be used in the true wind calculations.

Environment

Sea / Air Temperature & Barometric pressure

If a suitable sensor is fi tted, the system will monitor the current sea / air temperature and
barometric pressure.

The off set value to be entered should adjust the reading from the sensor to match a
calibrated source, i.e. adjust sea temperature to match reading from a thermometer when
submersed in the water.
