SWS-100 Visibility & Present Weather Sensor

  • The SWS-100 Visibility and Present Weather Sensor is designed to detect snow, rain, drizzle, fog and haze on roads and in tunnels. The forward scatter measurement principle and unique design ensure the output is both accurate and reliable in all weather conditions.

    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

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

    Full compliance with the visibility measurement requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organisation Runway Visual Range specification and easy integration of the Biral ALS-2 ambient light sensor makes the SWS-100 perfect for use in aviation applications.
