RK320-01 Laser Ceilometer
- - Laser Technology: The laser ceilometer employs advanced laser technology to emit pulses of light towards the sky and measure the time it takes for the light to be reflected back from cloud layers, enabling accurate determination of cloud height and vertical visibility.
- - High Measurement Accuracy: With high-resolution data collection capabilities, this cloud ceilometer delivers precise measurements of cloud base height, cloud cover, and atmospheric visibility, allowing users to monitor weather conditions and atmospheric phenomena with confidence.
- - Wide Measurement Range: The ceilometer offers a wide measurement range that enables detection of clouds at varying altitudes, from low-level fog and stratus clouds to high-altitude cirrus clouds, providing comprehensive insights into vertical atmospheric structure.
- - Real-Time Data Collection: Real-time data acquisition and processing capabilities allow users to monitor changes in cloud height and visibility continuously, facilitating timely decision-making in weather forecasting, aviation operations, and environmental monitoring.

Install
FEATURES
An installation plan should be made before starting the installation of the ceilometer so that the installation can go smoothly.
1) Wiring planning: Determine the wiring planning and cable type of power lines, grounding lines and communication lines;
2) Foundation: prepare the foundation for installation;
3) Connecting cables: Connect the power line, communication line and grounding line of the site to the power port, communication port and grounding port of the equipment respectively, and connect the communication line to the serial port of the background computer.
Positioning and Orientation
Install the ceilometer on the working foundation, place it horizontally when measuring hard objects, and place it vertically when measuring cloud layers. When fixing the foundation, make sure that the sun cannot directly shine on the lens of the ceilometer, so as not to burn the equipment parts. For this reason, the placement position of the ceilometer should be consistent with: the northern hemisphere window is placed north, and the southern hemisphere window is placed south (this placement is only valid for north or south latitudes above 30°). Figure 3 shows the orientation of the ceilometer in the northern hemisphere. Adjust the placement direction in time with seasonal changes to avoid direct sunlight.
