The speed rate of drops is registered with a 24 GHz doppler radar system. By comparison between the speed rate and the size of drops, the quantity of rain or its intensity will be registered. The road condition (rain/snow/snow-covered rain/freezing rain/hail) is determined thanks to the speed rate of the rain. Resolution up to 0.01mm, without maintenance.

IMPORTANT: Precipitation Sensor R2S-UMB is discontinued

  • Very fast response time - Rain detection with the first drop! Very important for traffic applications, where every minute counts!
  • Distinguishs different precipitation types (Rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, hail)
  • Maintenance-free operation – no moving parts that can wear out thanks to radar measurement technology
  • Suitable for solar-powered automatic meteorological stations
  • Resolution for rain intensity of 0.01 mm

The maintenance-free and extremely fast measurement of precipitation type and intensity fits perfect the needs of the following applications...

Examples of Use:

  • Weather observation for road and traffic control systems (RWIS - road weather information station)
  • Weather stations at airports
  • Weather stations of meteorological services
  • Mountain weather stations for avalanche and flood warning
  • Hydro-meteorological stations
