CS125 Present Weather and Visibility Sensor Campbell

 

Present weather sensors use a laser-based technology to measure the size and velocity of water droplets in the air to determine visibility, measure precipitation rate, and identify precipitation type (for example, drizzle, rain, snow, and hail). These sensors are often incorporated in automatic weather stations for road, marine, and airport applications.

Overview


The CS125 is an infrared forward-scatter visibility and present weather sensor for stand-alone use or with automatic weather stations including those for road, marine, and airport applications. The CS125 has an attached 5 m (16.4 ft) cable and DB9 connector.
