MAIN PROCESSOR
The main processor contains two circuit boards: the wind board and the
depth board. The depth board is responsible for boat speed, sea
temperature and depth measurement. The wind board is the main sensor
responsible for wind functions and also drives the analogue meters. It has
special inputs for the Masthead Unit, Super Halcyon compass, air
temperature, battery voltage and four linear inputs that can be connected to a
variety of other sensors (see Part 4 - Installation Instructions).
6.2.1
Masthead Unit
If there appears to be a problem with wind speed or wind angle first check
the cable connections at the main processor and at the mast base junction
box. The easiest way to test the MHU cable is by substituting a spare cable.
If the cable is damaged in the mast the cause of the damage should be
ascertained and the mast re-rigged or new conduit installed before replacing
the cable. The Masthead Unit should always be removed before the mast is
un-stepped to avoid damage. It should be stored in its original packing box
with the vane and cups removed.
Note
The Masthead Unit's bearings should not be oiled as they are of a sealed
pre-lubricated type and additional oil may cause chemical breakdown of the
existing lubricant.
