Pairing a new gWind Wireless Transducer to an existing WSI box

The gWind Wireless Transducer sends wind data to a paired WSI box. If either the gWind Wireless Transducer or the WSI box is replaced, the devices will need to be paired. Follow these steps to pair the devices:


Note: While these instructions will work with any compatible chartplotter, newer black bezel devices will have an "Unpair" option in the Configure Menu. Choosing this is merely a simpler alternative to completing step 9.

  1. Remove the battery cover from the gWind Wireless Transducer

  2. Bring the gWind Wireless Transducer to within 2 meters of the WSI box

  3. Hold the white button on the gWind Wireless Transducer until the LED turns off

  4. On the connected Garmin Chartplotter or Marine Instrument, select the NMEA 2000 Device List

  5. Select the GND 10

  6. Select Review (non-touchscreen devices)

  7. Select Configure (black bezel devices only)

  8. Select Generic Configuration

  9. Input the word UP and select Done

  10. Press the white button on the gWind Wireless Wind Transducer

    • If the LED flashes twice, the pairing was successful

    • If the LED flashes three times, the pairing was unsuccessful. Move the gWind Wireless Transducer closer to the WSI  box and try steps 3 through 8 again

  11. Replace the battery cover on the gWind Wireless Transducer
