LCJ Capteurs, Ultrasonic wind sensor, New way for reading wind!
LCJ Capteurs, A human and technological adventure
Christian Lamiraux (creator of MLR Electronique) is a famous expert well-known in the world of European marine electronics.
He dashes into the adventure of LCJ Capteurs in 1999.
With its 4th generation of sonic wind sensors, LCJ Capteurs has manufactured and spread more than 5000 sensors who operate on all the seas of the world.
Our commitment is simply to design and to propose ultrasonic wind vanes anemometers for marine use, with the following characteristics: compact, light, energy efficient while taken into account conditions of quality, price, deadlines and respectful for men and for environment…. All we can be proud together.
Compatible and standardized wind sensors
All sonic wind sensors of our range can be directly run either by a P.C., or by any other equipment with normalized NMEA© input as well as any specialized equipment equipped with common interface.
Sensors for marine use broadcasted worldwide.
Static sensors, no moving parts - Robust design – Resistant to shock, wind gust, birds - No ageing - Repeatability of the measures in time - Insensibility to the gyroscopic effect - Stability of sensibility to light winds – Small wind surface - Compensation of inclination due to wind – light – compact - low electrical consumption - Competitive price.
CV7SF is a new wind sensor which completes the LCJ Capteurs series of ultrasonic products.
It is wireless, stationary, and without power supply. One of its advantages is to simplify installation on elevated sites for measurements where the wind is free and unobstructed. On ships, another advantage is the elimination of cable weight in the mast.
CV7SF combines advanced technologies: ultrasonic measurements, solar power supply, wireless digital transmissions, super-capacitor for electrical energy storage.
The CV7SF wind sensor integrates a radio transmitter, a photovoltaic cell and an energy accumulator. A measurement of wind speed/direction and temperature is transmitted for a short time interval of 25 ms at an average rate of 1 second during the day and 15 seconds during the night to cover a 15-hour night. The radio signal is remotely received by a receiver/decoder box and formatted, providing standardized messages directly usable by computer USB or COM ports or by specialized navigation displays. The receiver
is a low consumption unit and may also be supplied from the 12V, from COM port or USB port. The link range is more than 50 m in free space.
