FEATURES • Interfaces NMEA-0183 Wind to 2K • Push-button to set wind DIR = 0 • Screw terminals for 0183 termination for mast and deck cabling • Plugs directly into 2K • Powered from 2K The A5905 passes the wind information from a NMEA-0183 masthead device-such as the Autonnic A5120-to the NMEA 2000 bus devices. The wind data is re-packaged from the 0183 to a 2000 format. In this way a masthead unit can be installed with easily cut cable threaded through the mast and deck and terminated with a screwdriver to the terminals provided. The power for the wind device is taken from the 2000 bus. In addition, a button is provided which send a message to the masthead to set its direction to zero. It is intended that he boat is heading into wind when this button is pressed. This is a one-time operation and the value is retained until the button is pressed again.
