ND-WRM-002 Road Surface Temperature & Status Sensor
What is the ND-WRM-002? The ND-WRM-002 is a 3-in-1 winter road maintenance sensor combining infrared road-surface temperature, air temperature and air humidity in one rugged unit. With ±1.5 % IR pyrometer accuracy and 15:1 optical resolution, it gives road operators a complete picture of icing risk — ideal for outdoor remote monitoring, winter road maintenance, frost alarming, ice alert and smart agriculture deployments connected to the yDoc ML-525 datalogger.
