LCJ Captures Ultrasonic Solid-State Wind Sensors
tech marine products such as the NMEA 2000 Actisense gateways. “We are proud to add the LCJ Capteurs’ unique and popular products to our line and make them available to North American boaters” said Robin Martel, President Fugawi. The LCJ patented technology uses electro-acoustic transducers that communicate in pairs to determine wave transit time differences induced by air flow following the orthogonal axes. The four independent measurements are used to accurately determine the wind and its direction in relation to the reference axis. The temperature is also measured for calibration
