RADIATION FROST DETECTORS

Product Description

On calm, clear nights leaf temperatures can drop well below air temperature. A radiation frost occurs when frost forms on the surface before the air temperature reaches freezing. The Apogee radiation frost dectector contains a high accuracy thermistor mounted in a rugged housing. The thermistor mimics a leaf, which provides estimates of leaf temperatures when monitoring radiation frost events.

Immediate Frost Detection for Agriculture

Radiation frost detectors are vital tools for farmers and agricultural managers, serving as an early warning system for potentially damaging frost events. Their quick response and reliable sensors help minimize crop losses by alerting users to take preventive action when temperatures approach dangerous levels. The combination of audible and visual alarms ensures comprehensive notification in all environmental conditions.


Rugged and Reliable Construction

Featuring a weatherproof ABS plastic enclosure, these frost detectors are designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments. With a secure PG9 gland for cable entry and robust construction, they guarantee long-term, maintenance-friendly use in both wall and pole mounting configurations. The manual reset switch and clear LED indicator allow for easy operation and monitoring, even in demanding field settings.


Versatile Applications and Installation

Suitable for a wide range of agricultural environments, these detectors are ideal for farms, orchards, and vineyards at risk of frost damage. Their adaptability to wall or pole mounting offers flexible deployment, while their compatibility with standard 230 V AC power makes integration straightforward. With immediate response capabilities, growers can quickly react to changing temperature conditions, reducing the impact of frost.
