Ice and snow detector IDS-30

Ice Detection Sensor IDS-30 to measure icing conditions and ice growth for various fields of application. The IDS-30 system is the next simplyfiyed version of the advanced and powerfull IDS-20 which is setting the standard for the next generation of ice detection systems on the market. The IDS-30 is an ALL-IN-ONE design which was developed together with our customers and their feedback over the nearly 10 years of expirience with the IDS-20. The IDS-30 is the second non-contact ice detection system (after the IDS-20) which is able to measure form 0,2mm up to 40mm of ice thickness and ice growth. The IDS-30 system is an extremely flexible system to cope with different situations and applications. One of the main targets is of course to recognize dangers and dangerous situations. The sensors have different measurement ranges and applications. The design of the IDS-Cube sensor is to recognize ice layers and icing events from 0,2 mm up to 2mm, so very sensitve to small icing events. Additionally there is a rod sensor which is designed to measure the total ice thickness thru out the season or year. The measuring range of the IDS-Rod sensor is form 1mm up to 40mm. The IDS-system design is made to be used with one sensor or up to max two IDS-sensors at the same time. FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES Continuous and non-contact measurement Detection of icing Distinction between ice and water Ice detection 0.2 mm to 2mm ice thickness Ice detection 1 mm to 40 mm ice thickness Different sensor versions according to specific applications - cube and rod sensors Very reliable measurement results due to plausibility check Suitable for existing and new systems, easy and quick installation
