Visibility Monitoring Sensors

Visibility Monitoring Sensors Product Description:

Visibility Monitoring Sensors (Visibility Sensors) is a new generation of meteorological visibility monitoring equipment, using the aerosol front scattering principle, to provide high-precision visibility measurements for meteorological stations, remote automated weather stations, as well as transportation departments, such as airports, highways, airways, and large ships.

Visibility Monitoring Sensors Working Principle:

A visibility meter makes measurements by emitting infrared pulses of light and measuring the intensity of light scattered forward by aerosol particles in the atmosphere. The sampling area is defined by the intersection of the light emitter and receiver, ensuring accurate forward scattering measurements. The measured data is converted to Meteorological Optical Range (MOR) by a specialized mathematical modeling algorithm.

Visibility Monitoring Sensors product features:

1. Durable materials: high-quality rigid aluminum and 316 stainless steel, IP65 protection, with long-term stable operation.

2. Structural features: integrated structure design, compact and small, the sensor size and weight is very small, easy to pack, storage and transportation, installation, can also be used as a portable instrument. Unique double-scattering receiver structure design, reduce the interference of the sun and other stray light.

3. Protective design: the emitter and receiver window lenses are treated with special anti-dust and anti-mold coatings to reduce the chances of dust accumulation and contamination of the lenses in the natural environment. The instrument is made of high quality hard aluminum and 316 stainless steel, the surface is anodized and passivated and protected by multi-channel paint spraying, and all screws are corrosion-resistant stainless steel screws.

4. low power consumption: the instrument power consumption is very low, less than 1W, can be adapted to the battery or solar panel power supply mode of operation. DC 12VDC power supply, convenient for system integration.

5. Stability: the collector design focuses on long-term operational stability, built-in watchdog circuit, after a long period of operation test, stable and reliable work.

6. Real-time data display: the sensor outputs a series of digital information every 60 seconds, which can be output through passive recruited.

7. safety design: DC power supply circuit with anti-reverse connection and self-recovery insurance dual design, to prevent damage to the instrument caused by user error. The communication interface chip has 15KV anti-static protection to protect the circuit from human body static hazards. The instrument has lightning protection measures, communication interface and power interface have lightning protection design to reduce lightning damage.

The visibility monitoring sensor is characterized by high accuracy, good stability, low power consumption, perfect protection design, real-time data display and safety design, which provides users with reliable visibility measurement data, and is the ideal monitoring equipment for meteorology and transportation and other fields.

Visibility Monitoring Sensors Application Scenario:

Visibility monitoring sensors are widely used in meteorological stations, remote automatic weather stations, airports, highways, airways, large ships and other transportation sectors to provide accurate visibility measurements, providing important protection for flight takeoffs and landings, road access, navigation safety and so on.

Summary:

Visibility Monitoring Sensors combine advanced front-scattering technology and durable design to provide users with reliable visibility monitoring solutions. Their superior environmental suitability and design for safety and protection make them an indispensable tool for a variety of critical applications.
