Infrared Rain Sensor

1. Product introduction of infrared rain sensor
Infrared rain sensor is also called infrared optical rain sensor and maintenance-free rain gauge. Infrared rain sensor is suitable for meteorological stations (stations), hydrological stations, agriculture and forestry, national defense and other relevant departments to remotely measure liquid precipitation and precipitation intensity , The start and end time of precipitation. FT-G1 infrared rain sensor adopts three-channel narrow-band infrared detector and pure sinusoidal AC signal source, which has the advantages of high precision, strong anti-environmental light ability, maintenance-free, compatible with other optical sensors (light, ultraviolet radiation, total radiation), etc. Can be widely used in meteorology, agriculture, municipal, transportation and other industries. The sensor is designed with low power consumption and can be applied to unattended observation stations in the field.

2. Product Features of Infrared Rain Sensor
This optical rain sensor adopts pure sinusoidal infrared light source, built-in narrow-band filter, and has a rain-sensing surface of 78 square centimeters. It can measure rainfall with high precision and is not affected by high-intensity sunlight and other light. The high-transmittance rain cover does not affect direct sunlight, and is compatible with other built-in optical sensors, such as light, total radiation, and UV sensors.
