Skywatch® Wind Alert
This instrument was developed to warn of high wind speeds.
Main features of Wind Alert :
- An omnidirectional wind turbine that measures the wind horizontally and vertically (turbulence behind the obstacle).
- Flashing orange (warning) and red (danger) LEDs and audible tones when preset wind thresholds are exceeded.
- Easy to deploy: set-up in seconds, stand-alone operation for months.
- Long autonomy: 2 years of continuous use, low battery indicator, automatic shutdown in case of storage.
- Robust, weatherproof housing.
Applications
Elevated work platforms
Protect workers at height by warning them of high wind speeds and gusts.
Cranes

Alarm level programmer and data logger
The Wind Alert configuration software lets you set wind speed warning and danger thresholds, and export wind event data. The software is connected via a USB cable plugged into the wind alarm's waterproof socket. This ensures that wind thresholds, once set, are not inadvertently altered, and that the Wind Alert history remains a consistent record of monitored conditions.
- Define and set alert and danger thresholds.
- Set duration of audible and visual alerts.
- Read and export wind history data stored in the wind alert.
- Compatible with Windows 10

Summary
This Swiss-made precision instrument is easy to deploy and provides an effective warning of strong winds.
It is available with a compact omnidirectional propeller for use in standard conditions.
Wind thresholds set during configuration remain unchanged, ensuring that they are not inadvertently modified.
Wind events are stored in the device and can be exported in CSV (comma-separated variable format).

Skywatch® WWS
This instrument has been developed to protect people and property that are or may be subject to high winds.
It consists of 2 components:
Skywatch® WWS is particularly recommended for :
Four values can trigger the alarm. These values can be set on the rising or falling edge, and the alarm duration can be set for each alarm.
There are four relay outputs in kits 2 and 3 (described below). The idle state of each relay can be selected between no (open) and nc (closed). The user can assign a relay output to each alarm.
