CS120 - Visibility Sensor

The CS120 Visibility Sensor, manufactured by Campbell Scientific at our European headquarters in the UK, uses tried and tested infra-red forward scatter technology and utilises the proven 42 degree scatter angle to report Meteorological Observation Range (MOR) for fog and snow in the range 10- 30,000 m. High speed sampling improves the accuracy of measurements taken during mixed weather and during events which return intermittent signals such as rain and hail.

The CS120 contains integrated low power heaters to prevent the build up of dew, and a higher powered heater for anti-icing purposes, all automatically controlled for simple operation in all weather conditions. With a power draw of just 3W during normal operation including the dew heaters, the CS120 is a power efficient instrument ideal for stand alone applications or in combination with automatic weather stations in road, marine aviation and wind energy environments.
