PRODUCT INFORMATION VICOTEC450 EXTRACTIVE VISIBILITY MEASURING DEVICES EXTRACTIVE VISIBILITY MEASUREMENT FOR INCREASED SAFETY IN TUNNELS Tunnel sensors
EXTRACTIVE VISIBILITY MEASUREMENT FOR INCREASED SAFETY IN TUNNELS Continuously monitoring the quality of the air in tunnels is an essential factor in ensuring road safety. SICK provides solutions that detect even the smallest concentrations of particles and measure visibility extremely reliably in foggy conditions. These measured values allow for effective and cost-efficient control of ventilation in tunnels. Extractive visibility measurement The VICOTEC450 visibility measuring devices can be installed away from the driving space, meaning they can even be accessed during operation. The VICOTEC450 is extremely rugged and resistant to external influences, such as fog, contamination, and small animals. The measured values are used to control ventilation in tunnels precisely and reliably. 2 VICOTEC450 SICK 8011721/2015-02
Principle of operation The VICOTEC450 sucks air from the driving space in the tunnel, heats it up, and then determines the visibility using a scattered light measurement system, which can reliably detect even the smallest volumes of dust particles.

VICOTEC450 Tunnel Sensors EXTRACTIVE MONITORING FOR VISIBILITY FOR INCREASED SAFETY IN TUNNELS Product description The VICOTEC450 provides an optimal solution for visibility measurement if fixtures in the tunnel tube are not permitted or not possible due to lack of space. Fog should not be included in the visibility measurement. The VICOTEC450 draws air from inside the tunnel, heats it above the dew point and determines accurately the visibility by using scattered light technology. Regularly and automatically it carries out a functional test including At a glance Functional tests with contamination measurement Manual linearity test with filter set possible Internal purge air for increased intervals between cleaning Your benefits Very reliable operation due to full self-test Cost saving and fast commissioning (compact system, no optical alignment on site required) the function of the laser and receiver as well as the contamination of the optical surfaces. Maintenance requirements for cleaning and filter exchange are automatically registered and signalled in time by the VICOTEC450 due to contamination check and measurement of the air flow rate (optional). Maintenance signal (filter and cleaning) Logbook function Extendable with various interfaces or I/O modules (e.g. PROFIBUS, Ethernet, analog module etc.) Flexible electrical integration due to optional interfaces and I/O modules Additional information Fields of application...............5 Detailed technical data............5 Ordering information..............6 Dimensional drawings.............7 -- www.mysick.com/en/vicotec450 For more information, just enter the link and get direct access to technical data, CAD design models, operating instructions, software, application examples and much more. 4 VICOTEC450 SICK 8011721/2015-02
