VS20k-UMB Visibility Sensor:
The VS20k-UMB Visibility Sensor is a device designed for measuring visibility in a variety of environments. Visibility is a measure of how far and how clearly one can see, and it is an important parameter for meteorology, air quality monitoring, and transportation safety. The VS20k-UMB Visibility Sensor uses an advanced laser scattering technology to measure visibility, and it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
The VS20k-UMB Visibility Sensor uses a laser beam to measure visibility by scattering light off of particles present in the air. The sensor then uses the scattered light to calculate the visibility in the area. The sensor has a wide measurement range, which makes it suitable for use in a variety of environments.
The sensor is highly accurate, with an accuracy of ±10% visibility and a resolution of 1 m, making it suitable for professional use. The sensor also has a fast response time, which allows it to quickly adjust to changes in visibility. It also has built-in temperature and humidity compensation, which helps to minimize errors due to changes in weather conditions.
One of the key features of the VS20k-UMB Visibility Sensor is its compact and lightweight design, which makes it easy to install and maintain. The sensor can be connected to a variety of data loggers, weather stations and other monitoring systems via standard digital output. The sensor also features a user-friendly interface and easy to understand data display, making it easy to operate.
The VS20k-UMB Visibility Sensor is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as air quality monitoring, weather forecasting, airport operations, transportation safety and many more. It is a reliable, accurate, and easy-to-use device that is suitable for professionals in various industries. With its advanced laser scattering technology, the VS20k-UMB Visibility Sensor provides accurate visibility measurement and helps to increase safety and efficiency in transportation, as well as provide meteorological data for weather forecasting and atmospheric research.
The VS20k-UMB Visibility Sensor measures visibility up to 20 000 m, making it ideal for highway, motorway, and bridge traffic applications. A calibration device is available (optional).
The VS20k-UMB is configured via the software UMB Config Tool:
- Reading or changing the current configuration,
- Calibration,
- Polling of the current measurement values
- The software allows configurations to be loaded and stored.
The measurement data is available for further processing in the form of the standard protocol Lufft UMB.
ASD = Active Spider Defense:Â The built-in vibrating motor ensures at irregular intervals that the VS2k visibility sensor is not so prone to spiders. The construction of VS2k also reduces the frequency of maintenance.
