Assembling the GWS 10
To assemble the GWS 10:
1. Ensure the shaft lines up correctly with the slot on the component. The slot on the component only ts one way on the shaft.
2. Press until the component is seated securely.

NOTE: If the wind sensor is assembled, disassemble it for repair purposes only.
Installing the GWS 10
To install the GWS 10:
1. Route the bare-wire end of the NMEA 2000 backbone cable downward along the mast, leaving an appropriate amount of slack.
2. Drill pilot holes and use the provided hardware to mount the GWS 10 in the appropriate orientation. If there is not a horizontal surface at the
top of the mast, create a wedge to mount the unit horizontally.
NOTE: If you do not mount the GWS 10 facing the exact front of the boat, you must congure the software to the appropriate wind-angle offset
(EN-4).
Mount the GWS 10 at the top of the mast facing the front of the boat parallel with the boat center line
3. At the top of the mast, connect the in-line terminator to the backbone cable and to the GWS 10.
4. Secure the in-line terminator with the provided hardware.
5. Pull the cable at the bottom of the mast to remove the slack.
6. Run the bare-wire end of the cable to the existing NMEA 2000 network or to the area where you will install the NMEA 2000 network.
Creating a Basic NMEA 2000 Network for the GWS 10 and the GMI 10
1. Connect the two T-connectors together by their sides.
2. The NMEA 2000 power cable must be connected to a 9-16 Vdc power source through a switch. Connect to the ignition switch of the boat or
through an appropriate additional switch (not included).
3. Connect the NMEA 2000 power cable to one of the T-connectors.
4. Connect the NMEA 2000 drop cable to the other T-connector and to the GMI 10 or any other NMEA 2000 capable display.
5. Add additional T-connectors for each sensor (not included) you want to add to the NMEA 2000 network, and connect each sensor to a
T-connector with the appropriate drop cable (not included).
6. Connect the female terminator to the appropriate end of the combined T-connectors.
CAUTION: You must connect the included NMEA 2000 power cable to the ignition switch of the boat or through an external switch. The GMI 10 and
GWS 10 will drain your battery if you connect them directly to the battery.
