Introduction The Marine Anemometer AM706-H is a combined instrument for wind speed and direction. It can measure relative wind speed (accuracy ±5%, min 0.1m/s), relative wind direction (digital display accuracy 1 ° , analog display accuracy 10 ° and output accuracy ± 1 ° ). GYRO (HDT) , SPEEDLOG (VBW)...
Introduction Principle of Measurement The wind speed sensor has a rotor with three wind cups which spins as the wind moves past the boat. The Wind speed sensor measures how fast the rotor is spinning to calculate the wind speed. The wind direction sensor has a wind vane which points in the direction that the wind is coming from.

Installation Installation of Main Unit AM706E The Main unit AM706E has three mounting methods, table, hanging and flush mounting. The holder supplied by original factory setting is used in table and hung mounting. For flushing mounting, embed the main unit into the bridge control panel (the dimension is shown below) and tighten the rotary knob to fix the main unit.
Installation Installation of Wind sensor AM706H Sensor AM706H should be installed in the place with free wind in the ship. Mounting Holder is φ40 and Activity Radius is 320 mm. After finishing the installation of the main unit and sensor, please make the calibration. Note 1.
