A New Type of Optical Rain Sensor
Mierij Meteo designs and builds high quality systems for measuring meteorological phenomena and is mostly know for their wind sensors. Another discipline at Mierij Meteo is precipitation detection. The MierijMeteo model 205 optical rain sensor uses a new principle of precipitation detection. The sensor is solid state and designed for a long operating life.
New Members to the US Team
Kipp & Zonen is pleased to announce that Rodney Esposito and Victor Cassella have joined us as the Sales and Marketing team for our New York office, with the objective of taking our business in the United States to the next level.
Rodney Esposito was previously employed by Sulzer Metcoin Westbury, New York as a Key Account Manager. Mr. Esposito received his Bachelors of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury, New York. Since 1989, Rodney has worked within the Industrial Markets with expertise in the aircraft, automotive, and medical industries. Kipp & Zonen is excited to introduce Mr. Esposito as the Sales and Marketing Manager for the Industrial Markets.
Victor Cassella worked for the Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in Upton, New York. Mr. Cassella has held the position of Lead Meteorolo^st/Climatologist at BNL since 1990. Victor received his Atmospheric Science degree from the State Univer­sity of New York at Albany in 1990. In 2002, Victor continued his education and completed his Masters in Business Administration at Dowling College in Oakdale, Long Island, New York. Mr. Cassella brings his knowledge of weather monitoring systems to Kipp & Zonen and will be the Sales and Marketing Manager for the Scientific Markets.
Mr. Esposito and Mr. Cassella have undergone company familiariza­tion and product training at the Kipp & Zonen headquarters in Delft, the Netherlands and can offer full support services to our American customers from our office in Bohemia. In addition to a local inventory of our biggest selling products, many of our instruments can be repaired and calibrated to factory standards, without the need to ship them back to the Netherlands ■
The 205 has a number of near infrared transmitters and a near infrared receiver. Only dynamic changes on the glass surface of the sensor caused by rain are detected; so it is not sensitive to dust, dirt or other pollution. The sensor is ^1 normally mounted at an angle of 30° so that precipitation does not build up on the surface.
There is an industry standard 4 - 20 mA output signal. No precipitation is equal to 4 mA and precipitation is equal to 20 mA. An open collector output is also provided, which switches to ground when precipitation is detected. A heater is to prevent due formation and ensures a fast recovery time at the end of a precipitation period.
Almost 350 of these rain sensors are installed and operating in the Netherlands Ice Warning System network for road safety monitoring.
Other applications for the 205 are in greenhouses, building automation and process control systems for industry.
