The Meteorological Visibility Meter is a powerful portable detection device. Compact in size and weighing less than 0.8kg, it comes with a professional instrument case, ensuring portability and safety. It is an efficient tool for outdoor operations and emergency testing.
High-Efficiency Visibility Detector for Multiple Environments
- The enclosed air sampling chamber design allows for real-time air exchange unaffected by external environmental interference, supporting visibility testing indoors and in various confined environments.
- Highly integrated design eliminates the need for complex calibration and debugging; simply plug it in and use. This is crucial for field inspections requiring rapid response, such as road safety patrols during sudden heavy fog, allowing staff to immediately activate the device for measurements.
Wide Temperature Range Visibility Detector
- The visibility measuring instrument supports both handheld mobile detection and fixed-point monitoring modes, and can be easily mounted on a tripod. This functionality makes its application highly flexible: it can be used for rapid sampling inspections at different locations by hand, or as a small monitoring station for long-term, fixed observation at specific points, meeting diverse monitoring needs.
- A 2.5-inch touchscreen displays measurement data in real time. The measurement range covers 20 to 10,000 meters, and the operating ambient temperature ranges from -10°C to 65°C, ensuring stable operation in most climatic conditions.

Q1: What is a weather station?
A1: A weather station is a device or system that measures and records various atmospheric conditions to monitor and track the weather. It typically includes sensors for temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed, wind direction, and barometric pressure. Weather stations can be used for personal, agricultural, scientific, or industrial purposes. In short, a weather station helps you understand and respond to real-time weather changes in your immediate environment.
Q2: Is it worth buying a weather station?
A2: Yes, buying a weather station is often worth it—especially if you want accurate, real-time weather data specific to your location. Unlike general weather apps or forecasts, a personal weather station gives you hyper-local readings on temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed, and more, right from your backyard. It’s particularly useful for gardening, farming, outdoor planning, or even home automation when connected to smart systems. Many models offer data logging, app access, and integration with platforms like Weather Underground. While installation and occasional maintenance are required, the ability to monitor and respond to changing conditions makes it a valuable tool for anyone who wants to stay informed and prepared.
Q3: How far should the weather station be from the house?
A3: To ensure accurate readings, a weather station should be placed at least 10 to 20 feet (3 to 6 meters) away from buildings or structures. Here's why:
- Temperature & humidity sensors should be positioned away from walls, windows, air conditioners, or heat sources that can skew the data.
- Rain gauges need an open area where precipitation can fall freely without obstruction.
- Wind sensors (anemometers) work best when mounted at 10 feet (3 meters) or higher in an open, unobstructed area—ideally on a rooftop or a pole away from trees and buildings.
In short, the farther from the house and the more open the space, the better your readings will be.
Tips: Visibility measurements are better suited for trend assessment than instantaneous decision-making.
Visibility meters respond rapidly to changes in particulate matter and water droplets in the air under complex weather conditions such as fog, haze, rain, or snow. Therefore, short-term fluctuations in values are normal. Compared to single readings, continuous monitoring provides a more accurate reflection of the evolution of atmospheric transparency, making it particularly important for traffic control and meteorological analysis.
