    Proven Safe & Effective

    The DSC211 uses proven laser technology to identify water, ice, slush, snow, and frost, and it determines grip, even when there’s heavy traffic.

    In addition, it provides early warnings when ice crystals are present. This sensor provides an effective remote alternative to measuring road conditions, keeping your personnel safer and protecting drivers.

    Advantages of Remote Sensors

    Remote sensors offer several advantages over embedded sensors:

    • Versatile, with non-invasive installation
    • Sensitivity for early detection of ice crystals before they impact traction
    • Easy-to-read grip data
    • No damage from premature pavement failure, overlays, snowplows, or pooling
    • Optimized maintenance with help of lens dirt indication

    And, with automatic calibration and highly resilient designs, the sensors require little or no maintenance — unlike traditional sensors.
