Visibility & Lightning  : 2 product(s)


Sentry Visiblity sensor.

The Sentry™ Visibility Sensor measures atmospheric visibility (meteorological optical range) by determining the amount of light scattered by particles (smoke, dust, haze, fog, rain, &  snow) in the air that passes through the sample volume.  Performance in all weather conditions was a design prerequisite for the Sentry™. An integrated, one-piece housing design keeps all cabling internal to the sensor for the ultimate protection against the elements. The sensor housing is made from anodized aluminum and the enclosures are rugged, UV-resistant fiberglass rated to IP66. The windows use continuous duty anti-dew heaters and thermostatically controlled external hood heaters are offered for protection in extreme environments. All power and signal lines to the Sentry™ are protected with surge and EMI filtering to help guarantee uninterrupted service for the life of the sensor.

µSMART Lightning Strike Sensor.

The Lightning Strike sensor counts lightning strikes by detecting electrical fields with signal strength greater than the factory set threshold voltage of the sensor. An early warning of impending lightning activity allows sensitive equipment to be isolated from mains power or time to carry out a controlled shut down of a plant or dangerous operation.
