LUFFT VS2k-UMB - Visibility Sensor

The VS2k visibility sensor measures visibility up to 2000m, ideal for road traffic applications on motorways, highways or bridges. A calibration device is available (optional). The VS2k-UMB is configured via the software UMB Config Tool which allows:
  • Reading / Changing of the current configuration
  • Configurations to be loaded and stored.
  • Calibration
  • Polling of the current measurement values.

The measurement data is available for further processing in the form of the standard protocol Lufft UMB. ASD = Active Spider Defense: The built-in vibrating motor ensures at irregular intervals that the VS2k visibility sensor is not so prone to spiders. The construction of VS2k also reduces the frequency of maintenance.
