Hail Flux Sensor

The sensor is a low-power, maintenance-free, and fully sealed acoustic instrument with no moving parts. Its sensing unit features a triple-layer polished stainless steel disk mounted on a robust stainless steel crossarm. Hail impacts on the disk induce internal acoustic pressure variations. The instrument incorporates a dedicated analog conditioning module and digital I/O module, supporting:

• Analog voltage output

• SDI-12 communication

• TTL communication

• RS-232 communication

• RS-485 communication

Typical application scenarios include:

• Meteorology (hail/solid precipitation): High-resolution hail monitoring and early warning systems

• Marine/offshore: Wind turbine arrays and buoy monitoring

• Infrastructure: Road, railway, and airport protection systems

• Agriculture/land management: Crop protection and research

• Scientific research: Precipitation studies
