AM706C
AM706S
System description
Anemometer AM706 is a combined instrument for relative wind speed
(accuracy ±5%) and relative wind direction (display accuracy 10 °, output
accuracy ± 1 °). With inputting GPS (RMC) data, users can print out latitude
and longitude information together with wind speed and direction.
CCR alarm and deck alarm automatically give warnings when wind speed
exceeds the setting value.
The AM706 is consisted of 3 parts: Main unit, Sensor unit, Alarm units.
Main unit
The main unit AM706C receives the signal from
the sensor unit, and displays:
 Relative wind direction
 Relative wind speed
 Maximum wind speed
 First and second level alarm settings
The main unit also output the setting of the wind speed
alarm to the alarm unit.
Sensor unit
The Sensor unit AM706S includes three parts:
 Wind speed sensor: a rotor with three wind cups.
 Wind direction sensor:
a wind vane to drive an absolute angle sensor unit.
 Junction box
It has a waterproof junction box and a sensor unit transmitter.

Operation
Wind speed alarm level
There are two levels alarm. If the wind speed achieves or exceeds the first
level setting, the first level alarm is triggered with 1st form of sound/light.
If the wind speed achieves or exceeds the second level setting, the second
level alarm is triggered with 2nd form of sound/light.
Set the wind alarm “dividing value”
Press [F] once on the main unit to enter the “wind alarm dividing value
setting”. “dId” is flashing. The first line LEDs show “dId”, then press [▲] or
[▼] to set the dividing value. The second line LEDs show the setting value.
The dividing value here after will be referred to as “X”.
Set the first level alarm value
Press [F] twice on the main unit to enter the “1st level alarm setting”. “AL1”
is flashing. The first line LEDs show “AL1”, then press [▲] or [▼] to set the
