Weather station present weather detector CS120A

verview The CS120A uses tried-and-tested, infrared forward-scatter technology, and it uses the proven 42° scatter angle to report meteorological observable range (MOR) for fog and snow in the range of 5 to 75,000 m (16.4 to 246,063 ft). It combines a high specification with a very competitive price. The CS120A is ideal for stand-alone applications or in combination with automatic weather stations in road, aviation, solar-energy, and wind-energy environments. For aviation applications, users can be assured that the CS120A complies with UK CAA, FAA, and ICAO guidance and meets or exceeds all recommendations and specifications. (This includes CAP437, CAP670, and CAP746.) The CS120A is certified by Deutscher Wetterdienst as suitable for use to control wind turbine obstruction light systems as specified by 506/04, General Administrative Rules for the Identification of Aircraft Obstructions. Benefits and Features High performance sensor at a competitive price Three year extended warranty available on this product Sensor design minimises airflow disruption at measurement volume Incorporates automatic dew and hood heaters for all-weather operation Simple field calibration using optional calibration kit Low power - suitable for remote application Automatic status check for faults or window contamination Made in UK Type certified for Aviation use by the German Meteorological Service, Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) Technical Description Compared to many such sensors, the CS120A design means that visibility is being measured in a relatively clean space because the position of the heads and body minimize disturbance of the airflow at the measurement volume.
