Simple Crane Wind Speed Sensor - Trimble LSI GS026

The Trimble LSI GS026 wind speed for cranes sensor is a highly rugged, industrial grade, wind speed meter for use in outdoor applications requiring accuracy and reliability. This crane wind speed sensor is designed to work as a stand alone system by pairing with the GS320 crane wind speed display or can serve as a component of a full crane safety system with the GS550 crane RCI display. 

The LSI-GS-026 wind speed sensor for cranes is fully wireless with a communication range of over 4,000 feet so you can rest assured you will always have a signal when you need it. With an accuracy to 3 mph, and an average 2 years of battery life this crane wind speed meter is a plug and play unit.  Whether the application is residential, commercial, marine or heavy industrial, the Trimble GS026 wind speed sensor offers the best value for the money based on features, functionality and radio performance.

Designed to be paired with the Trimble LSI GS320 Stand Alone Display for wind speed only applications, or with the Trimble LSI GS550 Display as part of a complete crane warning system.  Users can expect an average of 2 years of battery life under normal operation. If wind speed was monitored continuously 24 hours a day / 7 days a week, users could expect 20 months of battery life from one “D” cell lithium battery. The wind speed sensing element has no moving parts. The wind cup head assembly has 2 embedded magnets that pass by a reed switch in the wind speed body as the wind speed head assembly turns, producing an accurate wind value. The Trimble LSI GS026 Wind Speed Sensor pivots on its steel mounting bracket, useful in applications where the structure it is mounted on moves up and down, such as with cranes or other lifting equipment. This keeps the wind cups perpendicular to the wind, the ideal angle to accurately measure the wind speed.

TRIMBLE GS026 WIRELESS WIND SPEED SENSOR DESCRIPTION

The GS026 Wind Speed Sensor from Trimble’s Lifting Solutions Division offers a user-focused and cost-effective design to the market.  For applications requiring a wireless wind speed unit, the GS026 has the best market value.

Whether the application is residential, commercial, marine or heavy industrial, the GS026 offers the best value for the money based on features, functionality and radio performance.

The GS-026 Wind Speed Sensor has a communication range of 4,600 feet (1,400 meters)
RF signals are always present in the day-to-day atmosphere. There are many products that advertise extremely long-distance communication ranges, but due to RF interference those advertised range claims can often be reduced by up to 75%.

At Trimble’s Lifting Solutions Division, we have developed our own radio technology that has been market-proven in worldwide applications. Our proven technology has very minimal effect from RFI intrusion

The GS 026 Wind Speed Sensor’s innovative design provides users with a wide range of cost-saving features and vastly simplified product support.

Design features include:
• Communication range: 4,600 feet (1,400 meters)
• Measurement range: 0 to 150 mph (0 to 241.4 km/h) (The GS320 display shows a maximum wind speed of 99 mph)
• Typical accuracy: +/- 3 mph (+/- 4.8 km/h)
• User-replaceable wind cup assembly
• Simple and easy battery change
• Powered by either a 3.6V lithium battery or a 1.5V alkaline battery

Users can expect up to 3 years of battery life under normal operation. If wind speed was monitored continuously 24 hours a day / 7 days a week, users could expect 20 months of battery life from one “D” cell lithium battery.

The wind speed sensing element has no moving parts. The wind cup head assembly has 2 embedded magnets that pass by a reed switch in the wind speed body as the wind speed head assembly turns, producing an accurate wind value.

The GS026 Wind Speed Sensor pivots on its steel mounting bracket, useful in applications where the structure it is mounted on moves up and down, such as with cranes or other lifting equipment. This keeps the wind cups perpendicular to the wind, the ideal angle to accurately measure the wind speed.

The GS026 Wind Speed Sensor is ideal in any application where monitoring wind speed is vital and a resultant action may be required.
