FT - N80 Visibility Sensor: Empowering Reliable Visibility Monitoring across Industries

Visibility is a crucial indicator in our daily lives and various production activities. From the safe takeoff and landing of aircraft in the aviation field to the navigation of ships in the vast ocean; from the smooth passage of vehicles on highways to the precise analysis of weather phenomena in meteorological research, accurate visibility observation is of great significance. Once the visibility decreases, such as in adverse weather conditions like smog, sandstorms, and heavy rain, the incidence of traffic accidents will rise, posing a huge threat to people's lives and property. Therefore, precisely measuring visibility has become a necessary prerequisite for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of numerous fields.

The FT-N80 Visibility sensor is dedicated to providing users with high-precision visibility monitoring data. This sensor employs the principle of 35° forward scattering, which makes its measurement results more accurate. Its measuring components include an optical lens and an infrared LED light source. The optical lens is designed to face downward and is equipped with a protective cover, which can effectively prevent precipitation, droplets, and dust from entering the lens, reducing the contamination of the probe surface. This not only ensures accurate measurement results but also reduces the maintenance frequency.

The sensor uses an infrared LED light source and adds a filter design, enhancing its ability to resist light source interference. The internal circuit has undergone anti-interference design and is also equipped with overvoltage and electromagnetic protection devices.

The measurement range of the FT-N80 Visibility sensor can reach 0 - 800,000m by default, with a resolution as high as 1m. The infrared light it uses has a wavelength of 870nm, and it can also read the cleanliness of the lenses at the infrared light emission and reception ends in real-time. The cleanliness level is divided into 1 - 5, with 5 representing the highest cleanliness. When the cleanliness is less than 3, the system will prompt on-site cleaning of the optical lens to maintain optimal measurement performance.

Currently, the FT-N80 Visibility sensor is widely applied in fields such as meteorological monitoring, traffic control, and environmental protection monitoring, providing reliable visibility data support for our daily lives and production activities, and facilitating the stable progress of various industries in complex and changeable environments.
