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.

Press the Set Limit button to see the alarm
threshold. Every time the units are changed, the

repeatedly to increase or lower the limit.

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.

This section describes how to manually change the
ID number the GS320 will listen to, and how to
change some other behavior of this display.
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 an other 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 6 digits, if the ID number is
120, the three first 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 dislay 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”.
“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.
Example: if the ID number is 18820, it will appear
like this on the screen:

IMPORTANT! A sensor can only have one
network controller at a time. To receive
communication from a sensor without taking
control of that sensor the display must first
be programmed in “listening mode”.
