VPF-710 VISIBILITY SENSOR VPF-710 Visibility Sensor Premium quality sensor for the measurement of visibility in the most demanding applications. Reliable operation in all weather conditions. … compact forward scatter design simplifies installation and system integration, whilst providing accurate measurements Reliable measurement in all weather conditions Highly corrosion resistant hard coat anodised finish Window contamination monitoring and compensation Unaffected by obstacle warning lights Easy integration of Biral ALS-2 Ambient Light Sensor The VPF-710 Visibility sensor provides high quality visibility measurement in a compact and robust package. The open design of the sensor head allows the free passage of air ensuring the visibility measurement is as accurate as possible in all conditions. Other features of the design ensure the correct response to all precipitation types as well as smoke and dust. The VPF-710 is highly resistant to disturbance from nearby light sources such as aviation obstacle warning lights, both constant and flashing. Even the latest generation of IR obstacle lights are not a problem. overall reliability and longevity. An optional interface to the ALS-2 Ambient Light Sensor makes the VPF-710 particularly suited for use in Runway Visual Range (RVR) applications. As standard the sensor is fitted with an extensive self-test monitoring capability which includes window contamination monitoring and output compensation. Summary self-test information is included in the standard data message with full status information available on demand. The VPF-710 can be AC mains or low voltage DC powered and hood heaters are available for use in areas prone to snow. Biral have been manufacturing and supplying worldwide high specification Visibility and Present Weather Sensors since 1997. The sensor is well suited to use in aviation applications due to the measurement accuracy, email: met@biral.com
