5. Data output protocols
The QK-AS06 will begin sending wind speed and direction data in MWV sentence format immediately
once is connected to a 12V DC power supply. The default baud rate is 4.8kbs, however other common
baud rates can be set using the configuration tool.
Details of MWV sentence format are shown as below:

$IIMWV,x.x,a,x.x,a*hh<CR><LF>
Field Number:
1, Wind Angle, 0 to 359 degrees
2, Reference, R = Relative, T = True
3, Wind Speed
4, Wind Speed Units, K/M/N
5, Status, A = Data Valid, V = Invalid
6, Checksum
Example sentence:
$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. The AS06 does not normally require any maintenance other than the occasional
cleaning. If the vane and the cups become dirty, clean them with mild soapy water and rinse them with
