B&G NetworkWind Problem

[jwrhind]

Yesterday the masthead wind sensor was fitted and the mast restepped. Sadly I wasn't there at the time.

Having plugged the connections back together at the foot of the mast, the NetworkWind display is not showing any information. There's a code of F0 in the LCD display and the analogue pointer is pointing to the 12 o'clock position.

I've emailed support to query what F0 means and this afternoon will hopefully be checking the wiring to the foot of the mast and testing the masthead unit as best I can (I have the guide from B&G website).

Any thoughts?
thanks
John

I have the same fault as you, but haven't ventured up to the top of the mast yet to investigate, having double checked all the base connections. Last year I managed to twist the MHU when assembling, stripping most the pins requiring an expensive repair, so hope it's just a poor connection with the socket, otherwise I'll be kicking myself for not buying a complete new unit.

Let us know how you fare,

Regards,

Ivan

Called B&G who were very helpful. Code F0 simply means no signal and suggets that the wiring should be checked.

See http://www.bandg.com/pdfs/FAQs/faq031.pdf for how to check masthead unit wiring.

I discovered an intermittant connection in the cable from the display to the foot of the mast, so first job will be to replace that cable.

Hope you find this helpful, Ivan
