Product catalog summary
Overview: Biral's HSS sensors are designed for visibility and present weather monitoring, offering high accuracy and reliability across various applications such as highways, research, marine, aviation, and wind energy. These sensors are known for their durability, low maintenance, and cost-effectiveness, backed by a two-year warranty.
Highway Applications: HSS sensors enhance highway safety by providing real-time visibility data. They are easy to install, operate independently, and have low running costs. Models like VF-500, VPF-710, and VPF-730 are used for traffic management and safety systems.
Research Applications: The sensors are valuable for meteorological research, offering proven accuracy and reliability in diverse climates. The VPF-710 and VPF-730 models are used for studying visibility, weather phenomena, and atmospheric conditions.
Wind Energy Applications: HSS sensors improve navigational safety and reduce pollution in wind farms. They are robust against environmental challenges and are used both offshore and onshore. Models like VF-500 and VPF-710 are suitable for these applications.
Aviation Applications: HSS sensors are integral to aviation safety, providing accurate visibility data for airports and helipads. The VPF-710 and VPF-730 models are compatible with various aviation systems, including FAA-approved systems.
Marine Applications: These sensors are used for automatic activation of safety systems in marine environments. They are reliable in harsh conditions and suitable for solar power applications. Models like VF-500 and VPF-710 are commonly used.
Technical Specifications: HSS sensors use infrared light sources for high accuracy and consistency. They are corrosion-resistant and unaffected by reflections. The sensors have a wide measuring range and are designed for long-term reliability with minimal maintenance.
Model Selection: The VF-500, VPF-710, and VPF-730 models offer different features and outputs (analogue or digital) to suit various applications. Options include extended self-test functions, hood heaters, and weather station modules.

. . . why choose an HSS visibility sensor? Biral HSS sensors are used to automate visibility and present weather measurements in a wide range of critical applications, providing improved safety and reduced costs. They are well known for their durability, reliability and accuracy. An HSS sensor will provide many years of problem-free operation requiring minimal attention. The sensors use Forward Scatter Meter (FSM) technology to calculate the Meteorological Optical Range (MOR). Unmatched accuracy The combination of design, light-source, wavelength and undisturbed sample volume give Biral HSS sensors...
