INTRODUCTION
The YOUNG Model 06206 Marine Wind Tracker is a compact wind speed and wind direction display. This model has features such as relative wind angle and NMEA compatibility that make it suitable for shipboard use.

MARINE WIND TRACKER

3 digit wind speed display 3 digit maximum wind speed or wind direction display Multi-color wind direction display with variability display Wind speed and direction alarms with delay RS-485/NMEA serial connections Calibrated 0-5 VDC outputs Display brightness control 4-20 mA Sensor Inputs Luminous front panel markings

PRECAUTIONS
INDOOR USE ONLY unless placed in approved enclosure. Operating temperature range 0-50C (32-122F), 0-95% RH. Use only recommended power sources; 12-30 VDC, 4.5 W. Disconnect power when making connections or servicing sensors. MAXIMUM 24 VAC/30 VDC on alarm relay contacts.

SPECIFICATIONS
Size: 144 mm (5.65 in) x 144 mm (5.65 in) x 36 mm (1.4 in) Panel Cutout: 138 mm (5.43 in) x 138 mm (5.43 in) Compatible Sensors: Wind Monitor Wind Monitor-SE Wind Sentry Wind Monitor-MA Wind Monitor-JR

MOUNTING AND START-UP


1. Select location for display. A location out of direct sunlight provides best visibility. The Wind Tracker may be mounted from a bulkhead or installed in a flush panel by removing the mounting bracket. Panel cutout dimensions are given in the specifications. An optional rack mounting panel (Model 06280) and protective enclosure (Model 06260) are available from your YOUNG supplier. 2. Connect cables to terminals. Refer to diagrams on page 5. Selector switch (item 7 on back panel illustration) should be DOWN for normal sensor inputs, UP for 4-20 mA or Wind Monitor-SE signals. Connect GND terminal to suitable earth ground. Insert power supply plug into power jack, plug into standard AC wall outlet. The Wind Tracker may also be powered from ships batteries. A coaxial power plug (2.1mm) must be used. Center is positive. 5. The Wind Tracker will display a software version number for approximately 4 seconds. It then begins to display wind information. The following information is displayed: Wind Speed Wind Speed Units Maximum Wind Speed or Direction degrees Relative Wind Direction (single orange indicator) Direction Variability (green indicators) WS, WD Alarm Status Indicators (if selected)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ALARMS
Wind speed and wind direction alarm functions are accessed in the SETUP sequence. Either or both alarms may be used. When activated, alarms are indicated on the front panel. When an alarm condition exists, the indicator will blink and the associated relay contact will close and the beeper will sound if selected in SETUP. When a delay time is set, the indicator will not report an alarm condition until it has existed for one complete delay period. Alarm activity will cease when conditions are outside the alarm range for one complete delay period. For a "latching" alarm effect, use the Wind Tracker alarm contacts to activate an external latching-type relay.

WARRANTY
The Wind Tracker is warranted to be free of defects in materials and construction for a period of 12 months from date of purchase. Coverage is limited to repair or replacement of defective unit.

CE COMPLIANCE
This product has been tested and shown to comply with European CE requirements for the EMC Directive. Please note that shielded cable must be used.

Declaration of Conformity R. M. Young Company 2801 Aero Park Drive Traverse City, MI 49686 USA Model 06206 Marine Wind Tracker The undersigned hereby declares on behalf of R. M. Young Company that the above-referenced product, to which this declaration relates, is in conformity with the provisions of: Council Directive 2004/108/EC (December 15, 2004) on Electromagnetic Compatibility

Adjust display brightness by holding the BRIGHT key.

MAXIMUM / WIND DIRECTION DIGITAL DISPLAY

The right display window can show either MAXIMUM WIND SPEED or Numerical WIND DIRECTION. This selection is made in the setup mode under Display (dSP).

NMEA OUTPUT

The Wind Tracker features NMEA serial output from the RS-485 terminals. These terminals can be used to operate remote displays or connect to other NMEA compatible devices. The NMEA output sentence is sent 16 times per second (Fast) or once per second (Slow) depending on the NMEA Output (OUT) setting in SETUP. For best remote display, use the Fast setting.

REMOTE DISPLAYS

The Wind Tracker can be used as a remote display by selecting "InP SEr" during SETUP. Remote displays are connected to the main display using the RS-485 terminals. NMEA Serial Protocol is used to operate remote displays. Up to 16 remote displays can be connected to one main display. Use the serial input when connecting to a Model 09101 Wind Monitor-SE sensor. See wiring diagram.

VOLTAGE OUTPUTS

The Wind Tracker offers calibrated voltage outputs for both wind speed and wind direction. This feature allows the use of recorders and other devices. Full scale voltage for each channel is 5.00 VDC. 4-20mA INPUTS The Wind Tracker accepts 4-20 mA (Line Driver) inputs. Line Driver circuit must provide 0-50 M/S Wind Speed scaling ("M" suffix). Connect cable as indicated on page 4. Slide switch on back must be UP at power up for correct 4-20 mA operation. Select LDI as input in SETUP. 24 VDC power is required for line driver applications.

ERROR MESSAGES

The Wind Tracker detects and indicates two errors. Once corrected, the error indication disappears. DISPLAY LDi Err 4-20 mA (line driver) signal. Signal is missing or outside of acceptable range. Verify proper switch position or signal.
