[LW] [LW11] I70s and ITC-5 wind problem

[fozzy83]

Hi Louise

The actisense unit I believe was connected to an old Navman wind and depth system. I'm not sure why it is connected through the AIS unit though as its connected to the NMEA network itself.

Anyway as suggested i removed the Actisense unit and disconnected the NMEA gateway and still don't have wind speed or direction. The light is flashing as if to show disconnected.

With the wind instrument disconnected i have 8V at the terminals between Red and Shield however once connected it measures 1V.

Like I said i don't believe i should only have 22 Ohms between the Red and Shield to the Mast Head unit. I believe there is a short circuit fault on top of the mast head unit not sure why this would effect the speed log input however i could be unlucky enough to have a faulty Mast Head unit and iTC-5.

Given that they only worked for 3 months, this is very disappointing given the expenditure. I now have to wait for the right weather window to remove unit from the top of the mast.

Thanks for your help so far
