SWSxxx-N-AC
Weather sensor / visibility meter
Compact and well proven present weather visibility sensor specially selected to be integrated in the Orga Aviation obstruction light systems, which are required to adjust the operating intensity of the obstruction light in accordance with present visibility conditions.
Key features
- 3 levels of visibility ranges used to control the light intensity
- Easy installation
- Supplied with pre-mounted Orga cable for easy installation and high reliability ready for use
- Robust housing, suitable for offshore use
- No dew heaters
- De-icing heaters
- Made in Europe
System design, control and monitoring
- Designed to be used in combination with the Orga CIP controller unit. Obstacle light intensity on several turbines can be controlled using data from one visibility sensor.
