System status break down
(1)
Possible degraded performance
(1)
System status break down reflects the highest level of severity of any active alarm.
The amount of time, in seconds, between outputs in continuous mode
Visibility distance break down
Current visibility distance being detected by the sensor
Visibility units break down
Averaging duration break down (see note below)
Note: In accordance with WMO requirements the CS125 produces visibility measurement that are either one or ten
minute rolling averages that are updated at the chosen output interval or when the sensor is polled. Those averages are
not direct averages of MOR measurements but are averages of extinction coefficient and that average is then used to
calculate the MOR for that period. As the relationship between extinction coefficient and MOR is not linear it is
possible to see quite rapid changes in MOR that might not be expected if the result was a rolling average of MOR.
Please consider this, especially when testing the sensor with artificial obscurants or using the calibration disc.
