IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1.3 Intended use
1.3.1 Purpose of the device
The VISIC100SF measures the visibility in tunnels and at the tunnel portals. When
appropriate gas sensors have been fitted, the concentrations of CO, NO and NO2in the
tunnel can be determined at the same time visibility is measured.
1.3.2 Product identification
The type plate is located on the side on the rear enclosure panel.
1.3.3 Installation location
●In a tunnel
●On tunnel portals
●In basement garages
●Generally in applications similar to tunnels for measuring visibility and gas
concentrations
The VISIC100SF can be equipped with maximum two gas sensors.
