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）
or GPS (RMC/VTG) data user can select relative wind mode and true wind
mode.
Main unit AM706E can be installed by the table, hanging and flush mounting
methods. Sensor AM706H should be installed in the place with free
wind in the ship.
System Composition
Main Unit AM706E
Direction Display：Analog and digital display of relative (to the bow) and true
wind direction
Speed Display：Digital display of relative, true, max and average wind speed.
Sensor unit AM706H
Wind speed sensor：Wind speed sensor has a rotor with three wind cups.
Wind direction sensor：Wind direction sensor has a wind vane to drive an
absolute angle sensor unit.
Holder：Used to install wind speed sensor and direction sensor for fixation of
junction box
Junction box：Consist of waterproof junction box and sensor unit transmitter.

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. The wind
direction sensor electronically senses the direction the wind vane is pointing.
With inputting GYRO（HDT）, SPEEDLOG（VBW）or GPS (RMC/VTG) data,
calculate and display the true wind speed and direction（relative to north
pole）.

Wind Alarm
Set the relative wind speed alarm values. When the relative wind speed is
larger than the relative wind alarm value, the system will give the alarm signal
after 30s with beep and speed numbers become red color and flash. Press
any key to mute the beep but the relative speed numbers are still in red color
and flash. When the relative wind speed is less than the relative wind alarm
