Applications
The GS020-V2 anemometer can be used in various types of applications to monitor wind speed and wind gust. It is designed to be used on moving crane and can also be used in a static condition.
General Description
The GS020-V2 is a battery-powered, stand-alone devices with no interconnecting cables. It utilizes a dual coil construction and generates voltage output proportional to wind speed. Its low moment of inertia and unique bearings permit very rapid response to gusts and lulls.
Because of their output linearity these sensors are ideal for use with various data retrieval systems

WARNING: “Potential Electrostatic Charging Hazard” – See Instruction (for Wind Speed Sensor GS020-CSA-V2 only)
Under certain extreme circumstances, the non-metallic parts incorporated in the enclosure of this equipment may generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge. Therefore, the equipment shall not be installed in a location where the external conditions are conducive to the build-up of electrostatic charge on such surfaces. In addition, the equipment shall only be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Dimensions and Installation
For optimal performance, the anemometer should be installed in a place where the wind can flow freely with no obstruction or perturbation. See Figure 2. The utilization of the GS020-V2 Anemometer is not limited to crane industry. It can also be used on any static structures.
Materials
The black Lexan cups (virtually shatterproof) have thermal properties that let it resist and shed icing far more effectively than metal assemblies.
