A qualitative detection sensor with relay output for early recognition of precipitation.
Key features
A gold-plated ring surface with automatic heating for snow and ice.
Applications
Suited to automation that needs to react when precipitation starts.
What this product isThe sensor provides sensitive, qualitative detection of rain and snow. Drops or snow are registered by the ring-shaped conductive surface, after which the device sends a switching signal through a normally open relay contact. Automatic heating is available to melt snow and ice.
This sensor has a relay output and integrates with a suitable digital input on the AGRO VEDA station.
