  • Page 6: Introduction

    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.
  • Page 7 Wind sensor sends relative wind direction and speed signal (relative to ship bow and absolute value of angle signal) in digital interface format of RS422 to main unit through junction box. Temperature and humidity sensor provides air temperature and humidity signal in digital interface format of RS485 to main unit through junction box Barometric pressure signal is received from internal IC sensor of main unit.
