This extremely compact ITS Technology device doesn’t only measure precipitation intensity in general, it also classifies rain, snow, sleet and drifting snow.
Infrared beams forming a horizontal cross alter in intensity when being exposed to various kinds and quantities of precipitation. The Optic Eye registers and analyses the precipitation situation continously and can be connected to any host system via a serial port.
The Optic Eye can also form the basis for a low cost aqua planning warning system.
