LCJ Capteurs: Exhibiting for the first time at METS

LCJ Capteurs started designing and manufacturing wind sensors in 1999 and the current range of ultrasonic wind vanes/anemometers caters for a wide range of sailing demands.

 

LCJ Capteurs sensors  have proved their build quality, reliability  and accuracy in the harsh marine environment and are now widely used in other fields such as weather stations, industrial applications, security and agriculture to name a few.
All products are designed and manufactured in the Nantes region in France where they are fully tested throughout the manufacturing process

LCJ Capteurs history in 5 steps:

1999: first ultrasonic wind sensor on the market, the CV3 offers a +/- 7% accuracy for wind speed and +/- 5% for wind angle (measured at 19 knots). This sensor was an immediate success and widely used as an OEM component.
2006: the CV3Fm6 - an evolution reducing the weight down from 275 gr to 220 gr and increasing the accuracy to +/- 3% only for both wind speed and wind angle
2008: introduction of the new CV7 sensor. This model achieves a +/-2% performance for only 100 gr!
2011: LCJ Capteurs launches the wireless version of the CV7 ultrasonic sensor!
2012: the CV7C is the latest generation of ultrasonic sensors and features remarkable performance: data acquisition with 60 measurements per second, processed data updated 4 times per second and avionic grade cable as an option, 700 mm vertical carbon arm places the sensor out of the sails disturbance, only 12mA at 12 Volts, settable damping…

2013 will see a number of important additions to the product range including the introduction of the CanBus interface, compatibility with, NMEA 2000 instruments and a Rotating Mast kit which can be added to the CanBus.
