TEMPERATURE SENSORS

The Air Temperature and Relative Humidity Sensor is based on Vaisala’s

field-proven HMP45D probe and comes with a special cable and
connector. Humidity measurement is based on the highly accurate
capacitive thin film polymer sensor HUMICAP®180 and it offers excellent
long-term stability in a wide range of environments.
Temperature measurement is based on resistive platinum Pt-100
IEC751, 1/3 Class B sensor. Both the humidity and temperature probes
are located at the tip of the sensor and are protected by a membrane
filter.

Soil/Water Temperature Sensor is particularly intended for precision

measurement of ground and soil temperatures. All the materials have
been carefully selected to withstand various environmental stress and
wide temperature range. The measurement accuracy and stability of the
temperature sensor are based on a Pt-100 type sensor element specified
to 1/4 DIN 43760B preciseness level. The QMT103 sensor includes a 5-
meter cable with a black, weatherresistant polyurethane (PUR) sheath,
which can tolerate both abrasive wear and extreme temperatures.
Molded to the other end of the cable there is a 5-pin watertight
connector, providing for instant assembly and replacement.
The QMT110 sensor includes a 10-meter cable with a black,
weatherresistant polyurethane (PUR) sheath, which can tolerate both
abrasive wear and extreme temperatures. Molded to the other end of the
cable there is a 5-pin watertight connector, providing for instant assembly
and replacement.

PRESSURE AND WIND SENSORS

The silicon capacitive pressure sensor PMT16A has excellent accuracy,

repeatability and long-term stability over a wide range of operating
temperatures. Therefore, it maintains its accuracy and calibration for long
periods of time, thus reducing the need for field calibrations.
The fine adjustment and calibration of the sensor at the factory are
handled according to the electronic working standards, which are based
on international standards.

RAIN GAUGE AND RAIN DETECTOR
Rain gauge QMR101 is economical and accurate rain gauge of plastic material which is
highly resistant to UV-radiation and even frost proof.
QMR101 has a self-emptying tipping spoon of 0.2 mm (0.008 in.) capacity. Due to its
small size, lightweight, and rugged design, it is especially suitable for portable
applications and temporary installations. QMR101 is installed on the sensor arm, and has
a ready-made cable with the connector.

QMR102 Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge

Material: UV resistant plastic Aerodynamic design
Dimensions: Ø30cm, height 39cm
Weight: 2.5kg
Specifications:
 Aperture Size : 500 cm2
 Resolution : 0.2 mm
 Capacity : 120 mm/h

Rain and snow are detected quickly and accurately with Rain Detector DRD11A. It
operates via droplet detection.A special delay circuitry allows about two-minute interval
between raindrops before assuming an OFF (no rain) position. This enables the sensor to
accurately distinguish between rain cessation and light rain.

SOLAR RADIATION SENSORS
The CM7B albedometer is suitable for measuring net global radiation and/or
albedo over many differing types of surface. The sensor has conical lower
screen, to prevent illumination of the lower glass dome at sunrise and sunset.
The CM7B albedometer is constructed around two CM6B 64-thermocouple
sensors, which are rotationally symmetrical and housed under K5 glass domes.

A white screen prevents the body from heating up. The albedometer is
equipped with a spirit level and screws for accurate levelling. A drying
cartridge keeps the interior free from humidity. The albedometer is supplied
with a calibrationcertificate.There are two operating modes for an
albedometer: net global radiation is measured with the sensors connected in
anti-series. Separate recordings of the outputs and a subsequent
measurement of the ratio of one output to the other yields the albedo
calculation.

The QMS101 pyranometer is used for measuring global solar radiation.

QMS101 uses a photodiode detector for creating a voltage output
proportional to the incoming radiation. Due to the unique design of the
diffuser, its sensitivity is proportional to the cosine of the angle of incidence of
the radiation, thus allowing accurate and consistent measurements. QMS101
has a ready-made cable with a connector, and it is easily installed on the
sensor support arm.

NET RADIATION SENSORS

Net Solar Radiation Sensor QMN101 is designed for routine

measurements of net radiation. Net radiation is the balance between
incoming and outgoing radiation in outdoor conditions. The sensor
measures solar and far infra-red radiation balance.
The sensor is based on a thermopile and it consists of two Tefloncoated,
weather-resistant black conical absorbers. The voltage output is
proportional to the net radiation. Contrary to common instruments,
QMN101 is virtually maintenance-free as it does not require fragile plastic
domes.

The Net Radiometer, CNR 1, is intended for the analysis of the radiation
balance of the Solar and Far Infrared radiation. The most common
application is the measurement of Net (total) Radiation at the earth‘s
surface.
The CNR1 sensor consists of two pyranometers, model type CM3, for
measuring solar radiation, and of two pyrgeometers, model type CG3, for
measuring Far Infrared radiation.The properties of CNR1 are mainly
determined by the properties of the individual sensors, both the CM3‘s
and CG3's. The combination of these sensors offers the advantage of
accuracy, robustness, and the possibility to evaluate the quality of the
measured data.

VISIBILITY SENSOR
Vaisala Visibility Sensor PWD10 and PWD20 are optical sensors that
measure visibility (meteorological optical range, MOR). The sensor
measures visibility using the principle of a forward scatter measurement.
With a measurement range of from 10 to 2000 meters, the Vaisala Visibility
Sensor PWD10 offers economical and reliable visibility measurement for
weather applications.

The Vaisala Present Weather Detectors PWD12 and PWD22 identify

precipitation type by accurately estimating the water content of
precipitation with a capacitive device (Vaisala RAINCAP® sensor element)
and combining this information with optical forward scatter and
temperature measurements.
PWD12 is an intelligent, multi-variable sensor for automatic weather
observing systems. The sensor combines the functions of a forward scatter
visibility meter and a present weather sensor. PWD12 can measure the
intensity and amount of both liquid and solid precipitation. If the detector is
equipped with an optional background luminance sensor, it can also
measure ambient light. PWD22 is equipped with two Vaisala RAINCAP®
sensor elements to improve detection sensitivity during light precipitation
events – even light drizzle is detected. With a visibility measurement range
of 10 – 20,000 meters, the Vaisala Present Weather Detector PWD22 is a
twoin-one forward scatter visibility and present weather sensor. PWD22 is
recommended for automatic weather stations (especially low-power AWSs)
that are used for general meteorological and aviation applications. The
PWD22’s ability to detect freezing precipitation makes it possible to issue
warnings when the weather presents safety hazards.
