Hazard light with wind gauge
AN-60-GF
Two in one – FSG combines the anemometer and the hazard light in a single sensor. This unique combination ensures perfect anemometer readings and optimal light dispersion from the hazard light. The redundant hazard light design meets all requirements of the German Ordinance on Hazard Lights (AVV).

A combination
with many advantages:
Optimal measurement results due to the absence of wind shadows
1
Lower maintenance costs and installation time
2
Precise positioning ensures reduced light pollution.
3
Reliable vertical alignment through motorized leveling

Absolutely precise
without shading
STANDARD SITUATION
In conventional applications, the hazard light can disrupt the airflow, while the anemometer interferes with the even emission of light.
FSG SOLUTION
By innovatively combining an anemometer and a hazard light in one system, FSG offers reliable, precise measurements and unrestricted light intensity. This integration enables optimal performance of both functions without mutual interference.
Fail-safe
through redundant LED concept
The redundant LED concept is a reliable and safe lighting solution that guarantees a minimum luminous intensity of 2,000 cd. The concept is implemented using multiple LEDs in parallel, with each LED operating at reduced power under normal conditions. If one or more LEDs fail, the power of the remaining functioning LEDs can be increased to maintain the minimum luminous intensity of 2,000 cd. This means the remaining LEDs receive more current and thus generate higher power to compensate for the power loss of the failed LEDs.
NORMAL OPERATION
Since all LEDs operate at reduced power during normal operation, in the event of LED failures, the power of functioning LEDs can be increased to such an extent that the luminous intensity of 2,000 cd is still guaranteed.
in case of MALFUNCTION
If individual LEDs fail, the power output of the parallel-connected, functioning LEDs is increased to such an extent that there is no reduction in brightness. The minimum light intensity is therefore guaranteed at all times.
Optimal positioning
through integrated motor
Motorized leveling ensures 100% vertical alignment regardless of the angle of the support object (e.g., crane boom).
Alignment of anemometer and warning lights.
While a pendulum-type anemometer can be affected by external influences such as vibrations or movements, motorized leveling remains precise and evenly aligned. This leads to higher measurement accuracy and therefore more reliable results.
Furthermore, motorized leveling offers greater reliability than a pendulum-type anemometer, as it can be performed regardless of operator experience or environmental conditions. This results in better data quality and higher measurement accuracy.
Flexible application possible with varying tilt angles of the support object.
Continuously optimal alignment of wind gauge and warning light
Improved wind measurement and efficient lighting in air traffic
Increases the reliability and precision of the system.
Versatile and applicable to different application scenarios and requirements
Reliable measurements
even at extreme temperatures
Discover the innovative combination of anemometer and hazard beacon that delivers reliable readings even in extreme temperatures. Electronically controlled heating, pressure equalization, and efficient cooling ensure trouble-free operation and prevent damage to the device. Enjoy the benefits of automatic leveling and low-maintenance technology in a single, powerful system.
B | COOLING
The lower cooling fins ensure heat dissipation downwards, guaranteeing trouble-free operation of the device.
C | PRESSURE EQUALIZATION
The valve constantly equalizes pressure, which builds up due to temperature fluctuations.
This prevents damage to the device.
A | SHELL HEATING
The electronically controlled heating system switches on automatically at a temperature of +5 °C and ensures the operating range of both devices down to -40 °C.
B | COOLING
The upper cooling fins ensure heat dissipation upwards. This guarantees that the maximum operating temperature is not exceeded.

Highly precise measurement results
through perfectly tailored options
The anemometer is made of anodized aluminum and comes standard with a rigid cup star. The electrical connection is freely selectable.
SHEET HEATING
This is an electronically controlled heater that switches on at a temperature of +5 °C. The heater, with a power output of 5 W, can be powered either via the operating voltage or separately, depending on customer requirements.
Cup stars
Maximize the accuracy of your wind measurements with FSG's innovative cup stars, perfectly matched to our anemometers for reliable results and optimal performance.
OPTIONS
Robust shell stars
Made from high-quality aluminum, these products are specifically designed for use in extreme conditions. They offer excellent resistance to harsh weather, temperature fluctuations, and other demanding environmental conditions.
Rigid shell stars
They are equipped as standard with stainless steel cup stars, which offer high resistance to corrosion and weathering. This durable construction ensures reliable performance and a long service life for the anemometer, even under demanding conditions.
Springy shell stars
The rigid struts are replaced by springs to avoid mechanical stresses that can occur primarily in crane and excavator systems. They are mostly used in conjunction with a pendulum design.
Note: Only suitable for wind speeds up to 20 m/s.

possible applications
Hazard lights on offshore drilling platforms serve to alert ships and aircraft to the platform's presence and prevent accidents. The exact requirements depend on various factors, such as the platform's size and height, its location, and local regulations. However, offshore drilling platforms are generally required to operate with at least one red flashing light, which must have a brightness of at least 2000 cd at night.

CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS WITH TEMPORARY CRANES
The FSG AN-60-HF medium-power beacon type B with integrated anemometer is ideal for construction projects with temporary cranes over 45 m in height. The continuous red light protects the airspace, and the anemometer records important data for the safety and stability of the cranes under varying wind conditions.

Wind turbines
Hazard lights are usually deployed in pairs to ensure that at least one light is visible from every direction, even if obscured by a rotor blade. When hazard lights are used, they must not extend more than 50 meters above the highest point of the rotor.
