Description

The SN-3000-YUX-N01-H rain and snow sensor employs an advanced alternating-current impedance measurement technique. This method significantly reduces electrode corrosion compared to traditional DC sensing, ensuring long-term measurement stability and accuracy in detecting both liquid rain and solid snow precipitation.

Engineered for harsh environments, the sensor features a robust ABS housing and metal electrodes. An optional built-in heating function activates automatically in cold conditions to melt snow and ice, preventing false readings and sensor blockage. Its RS485 Modbus interface provides reliable, noise-immune communication over long distances, making it suitable for integration into distributed monitoring networks and industrial control systems.

Key Features

  • Corrosion-Resistant Sensing: AC-impedance measurement method extends electrode service life by preventing electrolytic corrosion.
  • Dual Precipitation Detection: Accurately identifies both rain and snow events for comprehensive weather monitoring.
  • Intelligent Anti-Icing: Integrated heating element activates in freezing temperatures to clear sensor surface and ensure continuous operation.
  • Industrial Communication: Standard RS485 interface with Modbus protocol enables easy connection to PLCs, SCADA, and data loggers.
  • Rugged Environmental Design: Constructed with ABS plastic and metal electrodes for waterproof, all-weather durability.
  • Low Power Consumption: Operating current ≤50 mA at 12-24V DC, suitable for solar-powered or remote installations.
  • Compact & Mount-Ready: Compact footprint (90mm x 60mm) includes mounting holes for straightforward field installation.

Applications

  • Road weather information systems (RWIS) for highway safety monitoring.
  • Automated irrigation system control based on precipitation input.
  • Environmental and meteorological station data collection.
  • Snow load monitoring and avalanche warning system networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this sensor?

The SN-3000-YUX-N01-H sensor operates on a 12 to 24V DC supply. It is designed for direct integration with standard industrial power supplies and is compatible with 12V solar-powered systems commonly used in remote monitoring stations.

How does the sensor communicate with my data logger or PLC?

This sensor uses an RS485 serial communication interface with the Modbus RTU protocol. This allows for reliable, long-distance communication (up to 1200 meters) and easy daisy-chaining of multiple sensors on a single bus, making it ideal for distributed monitoring networks.

What is the purpose of the built-in heater?

The optional integrated heating element activates automatically when temperatures drop near or below freezing. It prevents snow and ice from accumulating on the sensor's detection surface, ensuring accurate precipitation detection and uninterrupted operation during winter conditions.

How does the AC-impedance method improve sensor longevity?

Unlike DC-based sensors that cause electrolytic corrosion of the electrodes, the AC-impedance measurement method uses an alternating current. This significantly reduces electrode degradation, dramatically extending the sensor's operational life and maintaining measurement accuracy over many years.

What is the sensor's response time for detecting precipitation?

The sensor has a response time of ≤100 seconds to detect the presence of rain or snow. This fast response allows for timely triggering of automated systems, such as closing skylights, activating windshield wipers, or logging weather events.
