1. Overview
The GS026 is a battery powered radio
anemometer. The wind speed is calculated
from pulses of magnets inserted in the
rotor. No adjustment is necessary; the
anemometer never needs to be calibrated.
The expected battery life with a lithium
battery is about 3 years.
Both the battery and rotor can be serviced
in the field without tools.
2. Location
For optimal radio communication, mount
the anemometer on the same side of the
boom as the receiver unit, perpendicular to
the boom, and at the highest point possible.
The wind speed sensor must pivot freely on
the mounting mast at all boom angles.
The wind cups must be fully exposed to the
wind and spin freely at all boom angles.
There should be a clear and unobstructed
line of sight between the anemometer
sensor and the cabin mounted display unit.
3. Installation
Weld or screw the mast to the boom at the
selected position.
Note: Angle iron can be used to extend the
reach of the mast to clear the boom tip.
The base of the mast can be used when
retrofitting the GS026 on a previously
installed GS020 anemometer rod. Make
sure the base of the mast is fully tightened
and add the cotter pin at the rod tip.
Once the mast is secured in place the radio
anemometer can be inserted on the pivot
and secured in place by the washer and
hairpin.
IMPORTANT!
Do not weld in
proximity
to
LSI sensor/transmitters.
