Where to Buy the Biral visibility and present weather sensors


SWS-100 Visibility and Present Weather Sensor

 
The SWS-100 Visibility and Present Weather Sensor with a measuring range up to 2 km (1.2 miles) is designed to detect snow, rain, drizzle, fog and haze on roads and in tunnels. With both digital and analogue outputs as well as relays for switching external equipment the sensor can be integrated into Intelligent Transport Systems and used for automatically switching warning signs in changing visibility conditions (as demonstrated in the video below)


 


The  SWS-100 Visibility and Present Weather Sensor is based on the proven HSS technology of our higher specification HSS range of visibility and present weather sensors which have been in demand world-wide for over 20 years.

Features

  • robust construction
  • 3 switching relays
  • low power
  • measurement range < 10 m - 2 km
  • instantaneous and averaged Meteorological Optical Range (MOR)
  • digital and analogue outputs
  • 3 relays to operate alarms and other external equipment
  • 24 VDC (ie battery) or optional mains (AC) powered


Constructed of high-grade, powder-coated aluminium the SWS-100 Visibility and Present Weather Sensor is suitable for use in most environmental conditions.

NOTE for prolonged use in environments where sea-water corrosion or other corrosive pollutants are a factor we recommend our fully corrosion-resistant HSS range of visibility and present weather sensors.
