Maintenance-free and extremely fast measurement of rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, hail and intensity, thanks to radar measurement technology. The smart radar rain sensor & present weather detector!
Using a 24-GHz Doppler radar and adjustable heating, the Lufft WS100 measures the speed of all forms of condensed water: rain, freezing rain, hail, snow and sleet.
The low-energy sensor detects precipitation from the first drop. Uses include: hydrology and water management, agricultural and environmental science, building automation, meteorology or airport and traffic control.
