  • Average Wind Speed & Direction. Short and Long Term Averages
  • Corrected Wind. Corrected to Magnetic North
  • Gust Speed & Direction (WMO)

Inclinometer/Compass

  • Compass Reading (0-359° Magnetic North)
  • X -Tilt. +ve East, -ve West
  • Y -Tilt. +ve North, -ve South
  • Z Orientation, +1 Normal Upright, -1 Inverted Position
  • X & Y Can Provide 2 Decimal Points for Easy Installation.

Additional Parameters

The GMX200 helps ensure safe lifting operations on construction sites by providing accurate wind data that accounts for crane jib movement. Its built-in compass corrects wind readings for both magnetic north and the instrument’s orientation, minimizing the risk of loads being displaced by strong gusts.
