SWS-050 VISIBILITY SENSOR
SWS-050 Visibility Sensor
Monitors visibility and obstruction to vision caused
by dust, fog, rain, drizzle, snow and hail

… easy integration with intelligent systems in road and
aviation applications

10m to 40km measurement range

Compact forward scatter design

Not affected by local lights

Easily installed by one person

Hood heating for use in extreme environments

Easy integration of Biral ALS-2 ambient light sensor

Comprehensive self-test and maintenance data

The forward scatter measurement principle and
unique design ensure the output is both accurate
and reliable in all weather conditions and will not
be influenced by local lights sources, even those
that flash.
With a measurement range of 10m to 40km the
sensor is suitable for use in road and aviation
applications as well as meteorological
observation networks. Whilst the measurement
accuracy easily exceeds that specified by ICAO
for visibility sensors used in METAR and RVR
applications.

SWS-050
Visibly Better

Heating of the optical windows and sensor hoods
is provided as standard allowing use in the
harshest of conditions. Both optical windows are
monitored for contamination and the visibility
output is automatically compensated to reduce
maintenance requirements.
Constructed from robust aluminium and finished
with a high quality powder coat paint, the sensor
will provide years of reliable service.
Easy integration of the Biral ALS-2 ambient light
sensor makes the SWS-050 perfect for use in
aviation applications where RVR data is needed.

Biral have been manufacturing and supplying worldwide
high specification Visibility and Present Weather Sensors
since 1997.
