Overview: The GS020 Wind Speed Sensor, also known as an
anemometer, is a robust and adaptable device designed for various applications, particularly in crane operations where monitoring wind speed is crucial for safety.
Specifications: The GS020 has an impressive operating range of 4,000 feet (1,300 meters), making it suitable for environments with strong RF signals, such as wind turbines. It is also effective on long boom lattice cranes, ensuring reliable communication with cab-mounted displays.
Compatibility: The sensor is compatible with GS320, GS550, GS553, and GS820 displays, and can also connect to a PC, PLC, or proprietary
display/controller via a Wireless Gateway.
Installation Recommendations: It is advised to install the wind speed sensor at the boom tip of the crane rather than the cab to ensure accurate wind speed readings, as wind conditions can vary significantly with height.
Battery Management: The GS020 features efficient battery management through LSI two-way radio communication. The sensor conserves battery life by ceasing active transmission when the display is off and adjusting radio power based on signal strength. The typical battery life is approximately 2 years.
Key Benefits: The GS020 provides effective wind speed monitoring, enhances safety in crane operations, and optimizes battery life through intelligent power management.
