GENERAL The Gill digital WindDisplay is a combined wind speed and direction indicator. The WindDisplay comprises two, 3 digit LED arrays to provide instantaneous wind speed and maximum or minimum gust data. A double ring of 36 LEDs is used to indicate instantaneous and average direction information. The front panel provides three buttons “MENU”, “s” and ”t”which may be used to adjust the brightness of the LEDs, enter a display mode or enter a set up mode. The WindDisplay will accept data output directly from Gill WindObserver and Gill WindMaster anemometers without the need for additional interfaces. It provides the power supply to the anemometer and “daisy-chain” connections are available for additional WindDisplays. See Appendix 1. The display is housed in a DIN-size casing suitable for flush mounting and must be mounted in a console or display panel. The WindDisplay may be user-configured to display the wind speed in various scales, i.e. miles per hour (mph), metres per second (m/s), knots (kn), kilometres per hour (km/h) and Beaufort (Bft). The WindDisplay is available in three versions. The marine version is designed for use on board ship. The front panel of the marine display has a degree scale range from 0° to 180° on both sides of the scale. Standard 0° - 359° scale Marine 0° - 180° - 0° scale Marine 0° - 180° - 0° scale NMEA formatWindDisplay Document No 1086-PS-0050 February 2005 Issue 06 Page 5 Principal characteristics Power supply Speed display Gust display Direction display Direction average Input Output Dimensions Weight Scale Brightness control Readout units 220Vac 3 digit 7 segment LED display 14.3mm height 3 digit 7 segment LED display 10.1mm height 36 LEDs circular colour RED 36 LEDs circular colour AMBER RS422 Daisy chain RS422, 300 Baud, ascii 15Vdc supply to anemometer. 144 x 144 x 94 mm Approximately 0.8kg Knots, mph, m/s, km/h From the front panel control m/s, km/h, knots, mph and Bft WindDisplay Document No 1086-PS-0050 February 2005 Issue 06 Page 6 4. INSTALLATION INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING MUST BE COMPLETED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL 4.1 Mechanical Panel mounting of the WindDisplay requires a panel cut-out of 137mm square. Maximum panel thickness 5mm. Rear access must be provided for fixing of the tightening clamps and connecting the electric cabling. The depth of the units is 94mm and an additional clearance of 8mm should be allowed for the cable connections and strain relief. 4.2 Electrical The WindDisplay utilises a common terminal strip for connections to the anemometers and ancillary displays. The signal cable between sensor and display is a 4-core cable with 2 cores for power to the sensor and 2 cores for signal transmission. To reduce interference, the cable must have a common screen. This screen should be grounded to earth. The cable may be up to 1 kilometre in length. Recommended cable: See Appendix 2. The WindDisplay provides the 15 Volts dc power supply to the anemometer. 4.2.1 Cable layout See Appendix 2. WindDisplay Document No 1086-PS-0050 February 2005 Issue 06 Page 7 4.2.2 Power supply The WindDisplay power supply will be set for 230 Vac. If the customer requires a different supply voltage, the following will apply: · The unit can be returned to Gill Instruments for adjustment. · The Distributor will modify the unit. 4.2.3 Connections All connections to the WindDisplay are made to the rear of the display as shown on the drawing in Appendix 3. 4.2.4 Daisy Chain Connections The daisy-chain output is used to transmit wind data to a second WindDisplay. The cable length depends on the type of cable used but a distance of up to 1000 metres is possible. The cable should be a twisted pair, screened and the screen should be grounded at one point only. See Appendix 4. WindDisplay Document No 1086-PS-0050 February 2005 Issue 06 Page 8 5. COMMISSIONING Before switching on the mains, check that the power supply is correct as indicated on the identification label on the rear of the equipment. The anemometer must be configured in the following output formats, depending on the type of WindDisplay used:- Gill Output 1Hz (P1), Baud Rate 9600 (B3), Polar Cont (M2) NMEA Output 1Hz (P1), Baud Rate 4800 (B2), NMEA Cont (M5) With no anemometer cable connected, switch on the display and observe the front panel LEDs. The system will perform an LED test. All LEDs are switched on and off one by one. When the test is finished the display shows no information on the LED circle and on both speed displays “---“ is shown. Check the voltage at terminal (1) and (2) on the rear panel. This should be 15 Volts dc. Connect the anemometer as shown in Appendix 3. When there is no serial information received from the anemometer, the watchdog circuit in the display unit starts to switch the 15 Volt supply voltage to the sensor ON and OFF. The supply voltage is on for 10 seconds and if no information is received from the anemometer, the supply voltage is switched OFF for 5 seconds. If this occurs during commissioning, check the wiring to the anemometer. When the display is fully operational and the sensor information is not received for more than 5 seconds, the display starts to flash indicating that sensor information is no longer being received by the display unit. 5.1 Settings via front panel On the front panel of the display there are three push buttons. The buttons are marked “MENU” “? ”and “? ”. Under normal conditions the buttons marked “? ” and “? ” are used to adjust the brightness of the display. WindDisplay Document No 1086-PS-0050 February 2005 Issue 06 Page 9 5.1.1 Units and averaging settings When the menu button is pressed the LED in the “average time window” starts to flash indicating that the selected option is functioning. It now becomes possible to make a selection using the arrow up and down buttons. If the menu button is pressed again, the LED in the units window starts flashing, indicating that the selected option is on. With the arrow up and down buttons, it is now possible to select different units for the wind speed. If the buttons are not touched for 5 seconds, the display will return to the normal operating mode. 5.1.2 Lamp test With both arrow buttons pressed, all the displays and LEDs start flashing (lamp test). When the interval time for a gust is set to 0 seconds, the gust must be reset manually. This has to be done by pressing the menu and the arrow down button at the same time. 5.1.3 Deviation setting The display provides the possibility to add an offset to the wind direction. This is very useful for wind systems installed on oil rigs and for airports if they want to use the magnetic North instead of true North. An offset is added in the following way. Press the arrow-up button “? ” and the menu button. The Gust display starts flashing and is showing the offset. As long as the display is flashing, the offset can be changed using the arrow up or arrow down buttons. The set value is added to the actual wind information from the anemometer. WindDisplay Document No 1086-PS-0050 February 2005 Issue 06 Page 10 6. MAINTENANCE The Gill WindDisplay unit has no moving parts and requires no routine maintenance. In the event of failure, the unit must be returned to the authorised Gill Distributor. If required, the front panel of the display can be cleaned with a cloth, slightly moistened with a soft detergent. Ensure that no liquid enters the display unit. Solvents should not be used and care should be taken to avoid scratching the front panel. Fuses: Glass fuses 5 x 20 mm 50mA for 230 Vac The fuse can be reached as follows Switch off the main supply and disconnect all the wiring on the rear of the display. Remove the four 2.5mm screws on the rear of the display. Remove the front window, pull on a corner with both hands. Hold the front of the unit down and remove the whole case. The fuse is positioned on the PCB see Appendix 5. WindDisplay Document No 1086-PS-0050 February 2005 Issue 06 Page 11 7.
