Key Benefits
Excellent value
RVR, visibility and present weather all-in-one. Measures visibility up to 75 km.
Minimal look-down geometry
The second is "head-down" design of the optical heads, which protects them against virtually all windblown particles (even those flying horizontally).
Reliability
Four main design features (e.g.an optical path clearance monitoring circuitry) are combined in the FS11P to ensure reliable operation in the harshest weather.
