Here at Measurement Technology NW we’ve lost count of the number of clients who limped along with their old winch line monitors for years, not realizing how much of an impediment they were to fast, accurate, safe winch operation - until they upgraded to an new LCI-90 line control display.
Their reaction? "Wow." No more daytime visibility problems. No more issues with screen flickering, fadeout, or failure. No more frustration from new winch operators learning the quirks of a patched-together software system. No more EEPROM failures or serial communication errors. No more downtime because of panel failure and slow service response times.
Best of all, no more babying a device that was never designed to endure the kinds of conditions faced every day by oceanographic researchers, tugboat operators, offshore oil rigs, commercial and military ships, and fishing vessel crews around the world.
Please visit the LCI-90 and LCI-90R product pages or contact Measurement Technology NW for more information on replacement products and available services for older installations
