    The AS06 has been pre-calibrated and can be used out of the box, to provide instant wind speed and direction data to NMEA 0183 devices or to the NMEA 2000 backbone (AS01 NMEA 2000 mini gateway required, not included).

  • Page 3: Sensor Components

    • For the most accurate readings, the anemometer should be mounted at least 2 m (7 ft) above the ground and consistent with meteorological conditions for the application. • The AS06 cable should be secured with cable ties to protect it from damage. • Secure the mast the AS06 is mounted on so that it does not vibrate.

  • Page 4: Mount The Arm On The Mast

    Secure the mast the anemometer is mounted on so that it does not vibrate. If you are using tripods, secure them with guy wires. If the AS06 is to be fitted to a wooden mast, suitable screws should be used. Failure to firmly fasten D-bracket to the mast will cause damage to the AS06.

  • Page 5: Electronical Connections

    4. Electronical connections The AS06 is designed to be used out of the box. For instant wind speed and direction data it can be connected to an NMEA 0183 listener device or to an NMEA 2000 network (QK-AS01 NMEA 2000 gateway required, not included in the box) and has a data frequency of 1Hz.

    $IIMWV,214.8,R,5.1,K,A*33 6. Maintenance The AS06 was designed to be maintenance free for the first 4 years of use. While the outer surface could show some signs of surface corrosion with time, in salty maritime or harsh environments, the inner bearings, mechanical components and electronic parts are protected from direct exposure to the outside environment.

  • Page 7: Configuration (Via Usb)

    7. Configuration (via USB) The AS06 is designed to be used out of the box. If required, it can be connected to a Windows PC using a RS232 to USB adaptor (included) for: 1.

  • Page 8: Usb Driver

    “/dev/tty.usbmodemXYZ” where XYZ is a number. Nothing further needs to be done if your device is listed. Linux: No driver is required for Linux. When plugged into the computer, the AS06 will show up as a USB CDC device on /dev/ttyACM0. Windows 7,8,10: Drivers usually are installed automatically if your computer is running an original Windows 10 version.
  • Page 9 • Output messages(reserved). The current version of the AS06 outputs wind speed data in ‘MWV’ sentence format, however the updated version will support heading data in ‘HDM’ and ‘HDG’ sentence format. The new AS06 will have a data filtering function, so it will be possible to filter out unwanted NMEA0183 messages.
