period, or to send a data message only when requested (polled sensor). The default
setting is for automatic data transmission. To check which method is programmed
send the message:

The sensor will respond with “OK”.

The sensor can be set to have the window heaters disabled, permanently enabled, or
for them to be controlled according to contamination levels. The default setting is for
window heaters enabled and on. To check which configuration is programmed send
the message:

The sensor will send the reply:
00 = Window heaters disabled
01 = Window heaters enabled and on
02 = Window heaters enabled and controlled according to contamination levels
To set the sensor to the required window heater configuration, send the message:

The sensor will respond with “OK”.
