Codel TunnelTech - Model 101 -Visibility Monitor (VIS)
The TunnelTech 101 Visibility Monitor (VIS), is an essential part of any road or rail tunnel safety system. Firstly, it monitors the Visibilty within the tunnel and ensures that the tunnel ventilation system provides sufficient clean air for drivers to clearly see the road ahead. Secondly, used in combination with other TunnelTech 101 VIS monitors, the operator can quickly detect the focus of the fire if it is also equipped with the optional PT100 temperature sensor to accurately measure ambient air temperature in a range of -15 to 1050C.

TunnelTech Software is supplied with all CODEL Tunnel Sensor’s as standard for the purpose of commissioning and maintenance of the sensors. With simple installation and set-up routine to any Windows based laptop PC, the program takes only minutes to load and configure and comes with a comprehensive on-board help feature.
The software enables the sensor’s complete data and control functions to be accessed via a PC using either an RS232 or optional RS485 communications box, also supplied with the sensor.
A built-in alignment feature aids the initial set-up and commissioning routine by giving a display of the detector signals to the engineer to ensure that optical alignment is maximised and the sensor operates to its optimal performance
Zero calibrations and span checking using a CODEL Check filter can be initiated via the software after commissioning or a maintenance period. Should it be necessary to alter the initial factory-set current and relay output configuration then this can also be carried out with ease.
For maintenance the software includes short-term logging and trending of diagnostic data for fault analysis.
