490-A Wind Monitor and Alarm
Our wind monitor displays current wind speed, maximum wind gust registered during the previous 60 seconds, and current wind direction. It also has the capability to display temperature if used with a resistance type temperature probe (not included). The monitor has a menu-driven interface using the LCD front panel selection buttons. User setup options include unit of measurement, sensor type, gust speed, and wind speed settings for alarm buzzer and relay. User configured settings are secured with a key lockout feature.
Wireless Transmitter or Receiver
Wireless options for the 490-A wind monitor include the capability of each unit acting as either a transmitter or a receiver. If one unit is set up as a transmitter, a second unit can be set up as a receiver to act as a second remote wireless display. This allows one set of wind instruments to provide live wind data in two locations within the wireless signal range. Additional capability includes remote live internet-based wind data monitoring via Richards complementary remote monitoring services.

Wind Monitor Features
The 490-A Wind speed monitor / alarm is commonly used on harbor container and large gantry cranes to help operators quickly shut down operations during high wind speed conditions. Bulk material handling and processing equipment such as radial stackers, conveyors, and ship loaders also install 490-A wind speed monitors to insure that product is only moved and stored when wind speeds are below regulated levels.
