Road Ice Sensor

1.Road Ice Sensor product introduction

Road Ice Sensor Microwave electrical signal detection technology can accurately detect the thickness of ice, snow and water on the road surface.In winter, rainy and snowy weather, the roads are prone to freezing, causing various potential risks for pedestrians and even causing personal injury accidents.Therefore, it is necessary to conduct ice accumulation inspections on some important road sections.The road maintenance department can be reminded to take timely measures to avoid the occurrence of harsh accidents.The ice accumulation detection sensors produced by our company use microwave electrical signal detection technology, with temperature detection and compensation functions, and are installed in a suitable road section, which can detect state data such as water accumulation, water spray, icing and icing thickness in real time.

The sensor has a simple structure and is easy to install.It has an RS485 communication interface.It can be communicated with ModbusRTU protocol or can be set to send data regularly to meet the diverse needs of users in communication.

3.Main features of Road Ice Sensor

(1) Can detect various states such as ice accumulation thickness, rainfall, and water accumulation.

(2) Has a temperature detection sensor.

(3) The measurement data can be transmitted actively at regular intervals.

(4) Each device has a unique number and must be equipped with this number during communication.It is suitable for building a large-scale monitoring system.

4.Scope of application of Road Ice Sensor

Cooling towers, communication towers, power towers, bridges, marine platforms and road surfaces, etc.equipment or buildings that need to detect icing.

6.Road Ice Sensor installation method

1.Install it in a position where icy needs to be detected, and the surface detection antenna is barely leaking near the freezing point.

2.Pay attention to protecting the detection antenna part during installation to prevent bumps.

7.Road Ice Sensor wiring

This sensor provides about 3 or so 8 core wiring, and the wiring method is as follows:

8.Road Ice Sensor communication function

1.Use the RS485 bus structure, the baud rate of the serial port is 9600, the data bit 8, the stop bit 1, and the parity bit is none.

2.Communication data list

(1) Real-time data register address table (function code 03), each data has two bytes, the data is low during transmission

Bit bytes are in front and high bytes are in back

Register address description data type unit

0 Temperature INT16 0.1℃

1 Weather status UINT16 0-Dry

1-Ice

2-Rain

3-Accumulated water

4-Melting

5-Ice

2 Ice Thick UINT16 0.01mm

3-15 Reserve UINT16

9.Pay attention to using Road Ice Sensor

(1) Users should check the surface before the icing season comes to prevent it from being covered with large pieces of debris.

(2) Wait for 3 minutes after each power-on before entering the normal measurement state.
