Intrinsically safe anemometer at Oceanology China

oceanology-international-china-2014Gill Instruments with local distributors PTC International will be presenting their latest Intrinsically Safe (IS) anemometer at Oceanology China from 3-5 September 2014 in Shanghai.

The WindObserver IS will be demonstrated on stand C76. Already approved to ATEX standards, the intrinsically safe 2-axis ultrasonic anemometer has recently achieved IECEx certification for use in explosive atmospheres. WindObserver IS can be deployed in hazardous zones such as offshore environments, chemical processing and other applications where highly accurate and extremely reliable weather data is crucial.

Gill’s new IS Low Voltage Power & Communication Interface (LVPCI) will also be on display. The LVPCI provides a low power and communication connection to the anemometer.

In addition to the intrinsically safe anemometers, Gill will be demonstrating a wide range of marine weather monitoring solutions specifically suited to the research, science and technology markets.

otc-offshore-technology-conference-2014Gill Instruments will be displaying the WindObserver Intrinsically Safe (IS) ultrasonic anemometer and new low voltage power and communications interface (LVPCI) at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) from the 5th-8th May2014 in Houston, Texas, stand 9847.

OTC is the world’s foremost event in the development of offshore resources in the fields of drilling, exploration, production and environmental protection.

Gill recently added IECEx to existing safety ATEX certification already held for its market leading ultrasonic anemometer, which is widely used across the world. With IECEx, WindObserver IS can now provide high quality data and reliability to applications including hazardous or explosive atmosphere applications throughout the USA.

gill-windobserver-isThe lightweight, robust, 2-axis anemometer provides 0-75 m/s wind speed and 0-359° wind direction, requires no maintenance and is now available with a new low voltage power communications interface (LVPCI).

The LVPCI is a new alternative to the standard Power Communications Interface (PCI) and both can be installed with the WindObserver IS, which is the only ultrasonic anemometer approved for installation inside hazardous or explosive atmospheres. The system provides wind speed and direction data for use in producing offshore meteorological observations in accordance with UK CAA CAP 437.

Our full range of ultrasonic anemometers, professional grade weather stations and data solution platforms will also be displayed throughout the conference.

Gill Instruments bring their latest intrinsically safe anemometer to Oceanology

Gill Instruments Limited will be presenting their latest intrinsically safe anemometer at Oceanology International from 11-13 March 2014 on stand A205.

The show, held at London’s Excel will focus on technological advancements in measuring, exploiting and protecting the world’s oceans.

Gill will be displaying a wide range of marine weather monitoring solutions specifically suited to the research, science and technology markets.

The WindObserver IS will be among the sensors demonstrated on the stand.  Already approved to ATEX standards, the intrinsically safe 2-axis ultrasonic anemometer has recently achieved IECEx certification for use in explosive atmospheres.

WindObserver IS can be deployed in hazardous zones such as offshore environments, chemical processing and other applications where highly accurate and extremely reliable weather data is crucial.

Gill’s intrinsically safe offering has been further extended to include a new Low Voltage Power & Communication Interface (LVPCI). The LVPCI, which is positioned inside a safe zone, provides a low power and communication connection to the anemometer located in a hazardous environment.

The popular WindSonic M will also be displayed on the Gill stand. The WindSonic M is a metal ultrasonic wind speed and direction sensor housed in hard anodised aluminium.

The sensor remains operational to -40°C and has been tested to EMC 60945 for harsh marine applications.  Outputs include NMEA 0183 output and an optional heating for colder environments.
