Connecting the GWS 10 to an Existing NMEA 2000 Network

1.Cut the cable that you routed down the mast to the appropriate length. Ensure that you leave the appropriate amount of slack.

2.Insert the bare-wire end of the backbone cable into the field-installable connector. Connect the wires to the field-installable connector as shown in the following image.

Note: If lightning strikes the mast or the wind sensor, the in-line lightning arrestor helps prevent the electrical charge from damaging the rest of the instruments connected to the NMEA 2000 network.

5. Connect the in-line lightning arrestor (connected to the field-installable connector) to a T- connector.

Configuring the GWS 10

Refer to your Garmin Chartplotter or marine instrument owner’s manual for specific instructions on accessing the NMEA 2000 devices for configuration.

To configure the orientation:

1.Select Wind Angle Offset if you did not orient the GWS 10 facing the exact front of the boat.

2.Select the angle (in degrees) to adjust for the difference in orientation.

Tip: The angles are configured clockwise around the mast of the boat. For example, 90 degrees is starboard while 270 degrees is port.

To adjust the filter settings:

1.Select Wind Angle Filter.

2.Choose from the following settings to adjust the filter:

•Off—turn off the filter to make the display more sensitive to changes in the wind.

•On—select a higher number to increase how sensitively the display reacts to changes in the wind angle, or select a lower number to decrease the sensitivity.

•Auto—automatically adjusts the filter settings based on wind conditions.

3.Select Wind Speed Filter.
