Dual Technology Visibility Sensor Model 8364-E

show your currency

Using both direct attenuation and forward scatter technologies the 8364-E can measure airborne particle sizes. By measuring both variables at the same time the 8364-E can attain accurate measurements of visibility ina ll waether conditions including: heavy precipitation, fog, snow, smoke and blowing sand; factors which would normally limit other sensors. If one of the heads should fail the four head configuration allows for contined operation. Built-in test functions then report sensor failure for appropriate maintenance to be scheduled.

* Visibilit measurement from 10m to 32km
* Unique dual sensor technology combines the accuracy of the transmissometer and reliabilit and cost effectiveness of a forward scatter sensor.
* Measurements traceable to the FAA "Golden Standard"
* Surpasses the requirements established by the FAA for AWOS systems.
