Garmin gWind™ Race Wired Transducer

Hello, I have nx2 instruments set with a nx2 server included. My original wind race transducer broke so I bought a new gWind™ Race Wired Transducer with a Connector Adapter Cable. I see the lights on the server getting input but why don’t I see any data on the displays?

Someone any idea? Settings or...

Thank you in advance.

Re: Garmin gWind™ Race Wired Transducer

On my old nexus wind I can still pull in the data from my gwind when it’s wired into the sensor. It was some of the troubleshooting I did when i was trying to figure out why the modem Garmin stuff wasn’t picking up the wind reliably.

Have you used the software for your nexus server to see if it’s picking up the wind sensor? Also, try directly connecting the nexus wind display directly to the gEind sensor. That should also work.

Re: Garmin gWind™ Race Wired Transducer

Hi!
I will probably face the same problem as you @Prestige. I also need to swap my Nexus for a gWind from Garmin and connect it to the NX2 server. Have you solved the problem?
In the Garmin manual it says to connect the mast cable to terminals 5-8 on the server, not to "wind"..... However, these are already occupied with me. I am curious.
