Forward Scatter Visibility Sensor

1.Forward Scatter Visibility Sensor product features

Forward Scatter Visibility Sensor calculates the atmospheric visibility value by detecting the forward scattering intensity of light sources in the atmospheric volume.

1.The Forward Scatter Visibility Sensor weighs only 680/880 grams and is designed for monitoring and collection of visibility and other meteorological data in the air flight of unmanned aircraft or small unmanned patrol vehicles;

2.It has a compact appearance and uses the principle of forward scattering to detect atmospheric visibility, which can work normally in an altitude of 4,000 meters and minus 20 degrees;

3.The appearance is flat and the wind resistance is low, and it is hoisted on the belly of the machine.Users can choose ABS and aluminum alloy housing materials as needed, or they can also choose temperature, humidity and air pressure sensors.The power consumption of the instrument is only 0.9 watts, which is very suitable for small drone platforms, and is equipped with aircraft for patrols of low-altitude environmental meteorological elements.
