4. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION, AND CIRCUITRY

Transmitter for wind direction and speed

The wind direction is detected as a rotating

angle of the vertical tailfin and the body with

respect to the stationary part, transmitted to the

torques synchro type transmitter, and read

from the rotating angle of the torque synchro

the receiver the wind speed is converted to a

voltages by the generator added

converter which is directly coupled to

the propeller, and the voltage is

rectified and directly read on the

voltmeter which is calibrated in

instantaneous wind speed. The basic

circuitry is as shown in the FIG-1 the

wind direction system and the wind

speed system are independent each

other.

5. CONSTRUCTION OF COMPONENT APPARATUS.

5.1 Wind direction and speed transmitter

The wind direction and speed transmitter has the construction as shown in FIG-2 the propeller is

fixed to the generator shaft in such a manner that the propeller shaft is the generator shaft.

The generator is located in the front part of the streamline body.

The generator cover can be easily mounted or removed by hand with propeller remove.

The wind direction transmitter is fixed to the lower stand.

To the central stand is mounted on ball bearings a shaft which supports the streamline body.

This shaft is provided on its lower end with slip rings.

The wind direction transmitter and the shaft are connected with each other by means of a coupling.

For the installation if this equipment select a location which is as high as practicable and is not

affected by obstructions. In case of the ground installation, align “N” mark on the stand to the north

and “S” mark to the south and secure equipment firmly five(5) M10 bolts.

In case of the ship board installation align “BOW” mark to the head of the ship.

Note that if this precaution is not observed, indicator reading is erroneous.

The electric wires should be inserted from the cable gland and, with the terminal cover removed,

Be connected to the proper terminal with reference to terminal nos.

The stand has a ground terminal be sure to connect this terminal to ground.

5.2 Wind direction and speed indicator

Install the unit and connect the wires correctly, and then supply the power source of DC24V.

No particular adjustment is necessary before start of operation.

The following buttons are provided on the front panel.
- DIM : Front panel brightness control allows adjustment for best viewing in any
light. When One Click, brightness control is 16 steps. Luminous front panel
markings allow viewing even in a darkened pilothouse.

change. And when the button pressed 2seconds, Maximum wind value is
reset to Zero.
Example 1) Change from m/s to knots

Example 2) Maximum Wind speed return to “0.0”

* Bearings

All bearings used ball type. These bearings are thoroughly cleaned and then packed with grease

and has the oil reservoir filled with oil, and should require no maintenance.

Careless opening of the bearing will cause a trouble.

* Transmitter painting, etc

When painting this apparatus, pay special attention to the instructions given in the FIG-2.

Slight propeller contamination is not objectionable. If the propeller is badly contaminated, polish

with abrasives (Pikal brass polisher) or the like and then clean with gasoline. To do this, the

propeller must be removed. When mounting the propeller, be sure to align the key in position. If

the key is not in position, if may drop during rotation.

8. DISMOUNTING PROCEDURE

The dismounting of propeller and generator is made thorough the following procedure in case

where checking of generator is necessary.

A) Unscrew the propeller stopper (1).

B) Take propeller (2) off.

C) Unscrew the generator cover (3).

D) Unscrew the generator fixing screw (4) and take the generator off.

Remark: When mounting the propeller on the shaft. Care must be taken to always put the shaft

key in the key groove of the propeller

FIG-3

Take off the generator cover, turn it to the right until the red mark coincides with the blue mark of the

generator and pull forward (to assemble practice inversely)

10. GUIDANCE NOTE

This guidance is only for tanker, bulker.

The sensors shall be situated in locations where the effects of air flow distortion due to
superstructure or other large shipboard structures are being minimized.
Guidance note:
Top of the fore mast is the ideal location on ships with its superstructure aft. Sensors located
above the compass deck should be placed as far forward as possible and as high as possible, ideally
on a slim mast located at the forward edge of the compass deck.
If this is impracticable then the sensor should be located above compass deck at a height, z,
according to : z = 0.3(H + x)
H = Height of compass deck above sea level
x = horizontal distance from edge of compass deck
z = height of sensor above compass deck

And transmitter(sensor) located where not to be affected by obstructions or structures.

(i. e, RADAR SCANNER, FUNNEL etc…)
