LUMIOS Tunnel Entrance Photometer

FEATURES BENEFITS

The LUMIOS uses a specially designed, highly light-sensitive photocell, filtered to provide a spectral response close to that of the average human eye, to react to changes in light levels at the entrance and exit to, as well as within, the tunnel environment. This reaction is virtually instantaneous. The light receptor measures the average luminance within an acceptance angle subtending 20, (as recommended by Commission Internationale de lEclairage (C.I.E.) Publication 88, 1990). The measurements are converted into an output signal of 4-20 mA (directly proportional to the luminance measurement) for hard wire connection and signal transmission to a host controller.
Safe stopping distance

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

APPLICATIONS OPERATION

Measurement of luminance, or brightness, created by natural light at the tunnel entrance / exit CIE Approved measurement technology Silicon photo diode, V filtered to provide a spectral response close to that of the average human eye Heated external enclosure with IP66 protection rating Operating temperature of -30 C to +70 C to ensure stable readings across all prevailing ambient temperature conditions Supplied complete with PC based utility software for set-up and control of the instrument

Designed specifically for monitoring tunnel portals Rugged design to withstand extremes of weather conditions Simple installation and mounting Optional wash-wipe facility to minimise maintenance requirements Flexible integration options
LUMIOS

The LUMIOS measures the level of luminance, or brightness, created by natural light at the tunnel entrance and/or exit to ensure that the visual perception of drivers will be maintained, both day and night, by avoiding sudden variations in lighting levels and potential black hole effect when entering and exiting a tunnel.
