1. Introduction
The AS06 is a combined wind speed and direction meter providing reliable measurement in all weather
conditions. It features a cup anemometer with 3 cups for speed and a pre-balanced vane for direction
measurement, providing a reliable, and robust solution for marine applications.
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). With the ceramic bearings and the noncontact sensors used in a rugged
enclosure, the AS06 is the perfect wind sensor for the extremely harsh conditions of the marine and
offshore environment where extreme temperatures, salt and dirt build-up, and corrosive substances are
present.
The sensor does not normally require maintenance other than an occasional cleaning. DO NOT
lubricate the wind cup shaft, the wind vane shaft or any of the bearings as this could increase the rolling
resistance and might lead to inaccurate measurements.
