LASER SAFETY
The WINDCUBE®v2 Offshore 8.66 is a class 1M Laser product, at the output.
CAUTION: The laser beam emitted by WINDCUBE®v2 Offshore 8.66 is in the infrared spectrum and is
not
visible to the naked eye.
CAUTION: Do not stare directly into beam with optical instruments (binoculars or telescopes).
The beam is emitted through the Laser aperture situated on the top of the
WINDCUBE®v2 Offshore 8.66 at 28° angle off vertical. (Fig. 2).
CAUTION: The WINDCUBE®v2 Offshore 8.66 utilizes a class 4 LASER, inside the system itself. In order
to avoid eye injury, do not open the optical head nor disconnect any optical fibers.
CAUTION: If the equipment is used in a manner not specified in this manual, it may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.

A LIDAR installation on a floating buoy or other
dynamic environment can potentially result
in a measurement bias in the measurement
accuracy and and have effects on LIDAR wind
measurement reliability overall. In order to
accurately retrieve and process properly the
wind speed and wind data, an inertial sensor
has been installed within the WINDCUBE®
v2 Offshore 8.66 system. Additionnal built-in
software (real time Inertial Measurement Unit
with advanced filtering capabilities) takes into
account the pitch, roll and yaw movements.
This algorithm allows for the compensation
of such movements and the achievement of
high quality wind measurement in dynamic
environements.
These innovations allow for the accurate mea-
surement of wind ressource in sea state, for
both statistical and real time data. Accurate
real time data are required for turbulence
intensity measurement, which is a parameter
of high interest for site assessment as well as
power curve measurement.
The WINDCUBE® v2 Offshore 8.66 works also in
harsh conditions, as it integrates a watertight
casing structure immune to corrosion with
surface treated components, and corrosion
resistant connectors.
WINDCUBE® v2 Offshore 8.66 introduction
The WINDCUBE®v2 Offshore 8.66 is a LIDAR (Light
Detection And Ranging) used for wind profile measu-
rement from 40m to 200m.
The LIDAR sends infrared laser pulses into the at-
mosphere. Four beams are sent successively in four
cardinal directions along a 28°scanning cone angle,
followed by a fifth, vertical beam. Laser pulses are
backscattered by aerosol particles in the air (dust, wa-
ter droplets, aerosol, etc.), that move at wind speed.
The collected backscattered light allows for the cal-
culation of wind speed and direction using Doppler
induced laser wavelength shift. Up to 12 different
range gates can simultaneously be measured using
the laser pulse time of flight allowing to measure the
wind speed at 12 different heights.
The backscattered light is converted into an electro-
nic signal and digitized. A dedicated signal processing
algorithm computes wind vector components from
five consecutive line of sight measurements. Leos-
phere Windsoft software controls the hardware and
performs the processing. The user interacts with the
WINDCUBE®v2 Offshore 8.66 (measurement configu-
ration and real-time monitoring) through a graphical
user interface, Windweb. Windweb can be displayed
on any web-browser.
Real time and statistical wind data are stored on
WINDCUBE®v2 Offshore 8.66’s solid-state hard disk
drive. The user downloads accumulated data files via
the Windweb.

The product specifications are related to a usage of the WINDCUBE® v2 Offshore 8.66 in an environment
that does not disrupt the measurements (for example but not limited to: no physical blocking of the lines
of sight, no magnetic perturbations). Likewise, the above specifications are inherent to the WINDCUBE®
v2 Offshore 8.66 LIDAR mounted on an industry standard buoy. In particular, no obstacle has to interfere
with any of the four 28 degrees laser beams within the tilt window range of +/- 25 degrees.
The device has been designed to operate in harsh sea conditions and can resist all (non-breaking) wave
heights given appropriate floating structure design but no to be submerged under water.
The device has been designed to operate on a floating structure (being 3 m above / below the water line)
but the operation cannot be warrantied after an impact from an external object (such as, but not limited
to a boat) on the WINDCUBE and/or on the buoy.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
The design of the integration of the LIDAR on the buoy system in order to guarantee that the integration
steps do not alter the system performance.
Before any manipulation of the buoy-adapted LIDAR system, it is mandatory to read the following
informations concerning the specific usage and integration terms.
SYSTEM INTEGRITY
The entire product or its components (inside and outside parts of the buoy adapted LIDAR unit) and also its
accessories and peripherals (for example but not limited to cables, options, etc…) cannot be modified in any
way without written agreement from the supplier.
No component can be added in the WINDCUBE casing without written agreement from the supplier.
Any modifications on the LIDAR for integration to the buoy system must be considered and validated by the
supplier before being integrated.
The power system of the buoy integrated LIDAR system is part of the buoy system. The supplier is not
responsible for electrical system failure arising from a power supply not complying with the electrical
specifications of the product and standard CE regulations with regards to safety and stability.
SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT
The system performance commitment is related to a maximum tilt and roll angle of the system of 25
degrees (no limitations on turn between 0 and 360 degrees with a direction accuracy of 5°), with a
maximum speed of 55 m/s corresponding to a speed accuracy of 0.1 m/s depending on the seawater
conditions (down to [0;33] m/s if the LIDAR moves out of +/- 25 degrees). Given that, It is recommended that
a passive damping system be used to keep maximum tilt within +/- 20 degrees with a nominal tilt of +/- 10
degrees or below.

CABLE INSTALLATION: REQUIREMENTS
Cable installation should also take into account the following recommendations:
Route and restrain the cables to prevent them from vibrating or moving under normal conditions, which
could result in damage to the antenna, or the coaxial cable connections.
When you must bend a cable, avoid kinking it, and ensure that each bend radius follows the cable supplier’s
recommended limits.
NOTE: A bad connection may corrode, causing performance problems and potentially affecting warranty
coverage of the modem.
SIM CARD REQUIREMENTS
The modem requires a valid Iridium SIM card. When delivered, the SIM card is already installed and opera-
tional.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION: REQUIREMENTS
For effective operation of the satellite option, it is essential that the antenna is deployed in a suitable loca-
tion. The following section provides a series of guidelines for best practice in antenna installation.
Obstructions to the line-of-sight can create areas of poor system coverage. The antenna MUST have a clear
view to the satellite at ALL TIMES.
The antenna must be upright/facing the sky to ensure maximum exposure of and for the satellite.
The antenna must be located so that it has a good view of the sky, ideally providing good horizon coverage.
For optimum coverage the satellite antenna should be deployed in a location where it has clear and un-
interrupted view of the sky from 10 degrees above horizontal in all directions.
Antenna should be mounted so that they are away from structures (masts, buildings, etc) by a minimum
distance of at least 0.5metres.
Ensure that the antenna is mounted so that it will not become detached from its supporting structure under
normal external forces.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
Install the antenna on its final location, according the previous requirements. Screw the RF cable to the SMA
connector inside the WINDCUBE®v2 Offshore 8.66 trap.
NOTE: Make sure the SMA connector is screwed enough to ensure waterproofing of the connection and a
good signal transmission.
