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. |
