The LSI GS026 is a highly rugged, industrial grade, wind speed meter for use in outdoor applications requiring accuracy and reliability. The GS026 is designed to work as a stand alone system by pairing with the GS320 Display or can serve as a component of a full RCI system with the GS550 Console.  Fully wireless with a communication range of over 4,000 feet, rest assured you will always have a signal when you need it. With an accuracy to 3 mph, and 4 years of battery life this wind speed meter is a true hands off unit.

 

LSI GS026 Additional Benefits

The LSI GS026 wind speed sensor offers proven and effective monitoring for crane applications where wind speed monitoring is critically important. In the crane business, wind is a potentially deadly element in the day to day operating environment. This anemometer offers users a very effective and proven solution for monitoring wind speed. The LSI GS026 has an operating range of 4,000’ or 1,300 m. You will appreciate the power behind this range when working in and around wind turbines. Wind turbines output a very strong RF signal, and our innovative technology has been perfected to work within this uncompromising environment. Our technology is also very successful when installed on long boom lattice cranes. While a 500’ lattice boom often presents challenges for our competitors’ systems, an LSI system will easily communicate with the cab mounted display.The GS026 wind speed sensor can be installed with the GS320, GS550, GS553 and GS820 displays. It also works with our Wireless Gateway, which provides direct communication to a PC, PLC ,or proprietary display/controller. A key installation tip is to ensure that the wind speed sensor is placed at the boom tip of the crane, and not the top of the crane cab. There is a vast difference of wind speed at 20’ off of the ground versus a boom tip that is 200’ off of the ground. There have been many avoidable accidents due to a cab-mounted wind speed sensors.

One of the major advantages of LSI two way radio communication is the management of battery life. When the LSI display is turned off, the sensor stops active transmission. At that point, it simply listens for the display to say that it is back online. This process uses virtually no battery life. The LSI display also controls the radio power level of the LSI GS 026 Wind Speed Sensor. The display will automatically increase or decrease the radio power on the wind speed sensor depending on the signal strength. This ensures effective communication at all times and optimizes battery life. The typical battery life of the LSI GS026 Wind Speed Sensor is 4 years.
