INTRODUCTION
The Gill WindObserver II (Pipe Mount) wind sensor is a very robust, lightweight unit with
no moving parts, outputting wind speed and direction. The units of wind speed, output rate
and formats are all user selectable.
The WindObserver II (Pipe Mount) is supplied with de-icing heating on (recommended if
icing is likely).
The WindObserver II (Pipe Mount) can be used in conjunction with a PC, data-logger or
other device, provided it is compatible with the RS422 output. Multiple units can be
networked if required.
Alternatively, the WindObserver II (Pipe Mount) is designed to connect directly to the
Gill WindDisplay unit to provide a complete wind speed direction system without any
configuration required by the user.
The output message format can be configured in Polar, UV (2-axis), NMEA (0183
Version 3), Tunnel formats, and as either a Continuous output or Polled (requested by host
system), detailed in full in Section 8 Message Formats & Options
.
WindObserver II (Pipe Mount) may be configured using WindCom software which is
available, free of charge, from the Gill website
www.gill.co.uk
