SEM226VC Visibility Detector is a low cost visibility sensor working based on forward scattering principle developed by SenTec. Main application is for traffic purposes. Aluminum alloy shell with spray-powder make it will never rust, applicable to drilling platforms, ships, highways and other transport sector.
Using forward-scattering technique it measures the amount of particles in the air that limit the visibility. It emits pulses of infrared light and measures the intensity of the forward-scattered light of the suspended particles in the atmosphere, using suitable algorithms to convert the measurements to meteorological visibility values.
