Details

CS125 Visibility and Weather Phenomenon SensorIt is a sensor that uses infrared forward scattering technology to measure atmospheric visibility and current weather phenomena. It can be used alone or in conjunction with automatic weather stations. Widely used in the fields of roads, oceans, and airports.Using the prevailing forward scattering technology in the industry to measure atmospheric visibility,42The scattering angle can be adjusted under foggy and snowy weather conditionsMOR(Meteorological optical range) for precise measurement.CS125By effectively distinguishing the type of settling particles through scattering characteristics and settling velocity, combined with temperature measurement, the current weather type can be accurately determined. The optical lens points downwards, effectively reducing the impact of snow, rain, dust and other accumulations on the measurement. The horn shaped design effectively shields the influence of turbulence and heat flow on sensor measurement.

It can alsoOutput current weather information in the form of SYNOP code, including precipitation intensity and cumulative precipitation.

CS125The use of continuous high-speed sampling effectively reduces measurement errors in mixed weather conditions such as rain and hail, while also ensuring stable and reliable readings in relatively stable weather conditions such as fog and mist.CS125Has high anti-interference ability and can be used to mark visible light and infrared warning lights for obstacles, such as wind turbines.

As needed, sensors can also be set to low-frequency sampling to reduce power consumption. The standard configuration of sensor lenses includes low-power anti condensation heaters and high-power anti icing heaters. Automatic heating control ensures that the sensor operates 24/7. To reduce power consumption, this function can also be turned off. Sensors can continuously monitor their own working status and lens contamination and generate report information. It also has two user configurable alarm outputs that can be used to drive audio or video alarms using solid-state relays.

CS125ApprovedGerman Weather ServiceCertified by the German Meteorological Association for controlling wind turbine obstruction light systems, compliant with506/04The general management rules for identifying aircraft obstacles are stipulated.
