Biral SWS-100 Forward Scatter Visibility Sensor for Weather & Road Monitoring
The Biral SWS-100 Visibility Sensor is a high-performance forward scatter visibility sensor designed to deliver accurate and reliable Meteorological Optical Range (MOR) measurements in all weather conditions. Utilizing advanced infrared optical technology, the SWS-100 continuously monitors visibility from 10 meters up to 99.99 kilometers, making it an ideal solution for airports, highways, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), meteorological stations, wind farms, marine applications, and industrial safety monitoring.
Engineered for long-term outdoor deployment, the SWS-100 incorporates automatic contamination monitoring, heated optical windows, and advanced signal processing to maintain measurement accuracy even in harsh environments. Its robust IP66/IP67-rated enclosure ensures dependable operation in rain, snow, fog, dust, and extreme temperatures.
The sensor supports multiple communication interfaces, including RS232, RS422, RS485, analog voltage, optional 4–20 mA output, and relay alarms, allowing seamless integration into SCADA, weather monitoring, and automation systems.
