GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM
The Wireless Wind Speed Indicator (R180) is designed as an aid to the crane
operator. It eliminates guesswork by measuring and clearly indicating the
wind speed to the crane operator. The R180 has a user adjustable maximum
wind speed limit. A visual and audible warning is also given if the wind speed
exceeds the preset warning limit. Furthermore an output electrical signal is
generated which can be used to activate lockout function or others as light or
siren.
The indicator consists of two basic elements:
A) A display unit in the cab, showing the wind speed in the unit chosen by the
operator and giving warning signals should the limit be exceeded
B) A wireless wind speed sensor, which measures the wind speed and send the
value to the Display unit by radio link to bring live readings on screen.
