AM706D is approved by China Classification Society (CCS). The main unit AM706D adopts three mounting methods, table, hung and flush mounting. The wind sensor AM706S should be installed on natural ventilated place, such as mast. Please note, big Radar antenna rotation can disturb the wind measurement.
