THE GS320 SYSTEM
1.1 Introduction
The wind speed indicator kit includes a GS320 display
and a wind speed sensor. The GS320 creates a two-way
radio network with the wind speed sensor to bring live
readings on screen. The GS320 has a user-adjustable
maximum wind speed limit and will generate an alarm
when this limit is reached. Voltage is generated on the
green wire when the system is in alarm mode; this can
be used to activate a remote siren, light, or lockout function.
1.2 Recommended Operating Conditions
Supply voltage:
9 to 30 volts
Current requirements:
maximum 1 amperes
Output wire voltage:
0 volts or supply voltage – 0.7 volts
Output wire current capability:
0.75 amperes
Operating temperature:
-40°C to +85°C (-40°F to 185°F)
1.4 About This Manual
WARNING
ReaD CaRefUllY anD UnDeRsTanD THIs
ManUal befoRe PRoCeeDIng.
This service manual describes how to install, operate and
maintain the GS320 Display & Wind Speed Sensor.
While many sections of this service manual have
information common to all LSI-Robway displays, this one
is specific to the Wind Speed Sensor pairing.
1.4a How To Provide Feedback To LSI-Robway
LSI-Robway welcomes your feedback on the accuracy
and effectiveness of this document. Please send
feedback to doc@lsirobway.com. Please include the
title of the manual and version (this information is in the
Document Revision History on p. 15) with your feedback.
1.4b How This Manual Is Updated
LSI-Robway will issue new releases of this manual as
new material becomes available. Refer to the Document
Revision History on p. 15 of the manual.
1.3 Start-Up
On power up, the display will show two horizontal lines
and the green status light will flash.
Once a reliable radio communication network is
established, the display lights will remain lit without
flashing. If the status light flashes continuously for more
than 30 seconds, the GS320 may not be correctly
programmed for the wind speed sensor. To correctly
program the GS320 for the wind speed sensor, follow
the Wind speed ID number procedure in Section 2,
Operation on p. 4 of this manual.

2.1 Units
The GS320 indicates wind speed in miles per hour (mph)
or metres per second (m/s). Current units are indicated
by a small green light.
To change units press and hold the Down button for
5 seconds. Verify the alarm threshold every time the
current units are changed.
2.2 Alarm Threshold
Press the Set Limit button to see the alarm threshold.

This section describes how to manually change the ID
number the GS320 will listen to, and how to change
some other display behaviors. Changing the wind speed
ID number is required only if the wind speed sensor is
changed and the display must be manually set to listen
to another one.
Press and hold the Up and Down buttons
simultaneously for 5 seconds. The display will beep and
then indicate the currently programmed wind speed
sensor ID number, one digit at a time. The ID number
must contain six digits; if the ID number is 120, the first
three digits are “000.”
1. Press Set Limit button to change from one screen to
the next.
2. To change a digit, use the Up and Down buttons.
“Ld” means Listening De-activated (default). Press
Down to change to “LA.”
“LA” means Listening Mode Active. Another
GS320 display must be the master of the wind
speed sensor.
“OS” means Output Standard: fail safe output
(default). The output provides power when wind
speed is safe, below the limit. Press Down to
change to “OI.”
To change the limit, press and hold down the Set Limit
button, and use the Up or Down buttons repeatedly to
increase or decrease the limit.
2.3 Listen-Only Mode
When the GS320 is started, it wakes up the wind speed
sensor programmed to it and takes control of the sensor.
This means that if a second display is programmed
for the sensor, it will take control of it; the sensor will
no longer acknowledge communication from the first
display. The GS320 can be programmed to operate in
“listening mode”. In this mode the GS320 will display
information from the programmed sensor without
becoming the network controller.
CAUTION
A SENSOR CAN HAVE ONLY ONE
NETWORK CONTROLLER AT A TIME.

“OI” means Output Inverted: the output wire is
energized when wind speed is above the limit.
This could be use to power an external siren or horn.
“SA” means Save. When this screen is displayed,
press the Down button to save the ID number
and above options and then exit.
“CA” means Cancel. Press the Down button
to exit without saving. The system will retain the
previously set ID number and options.
