RY-CYX rain and snow sensor
RY-CYX rain and snow sensor is an environmental sensing device used to identify and monitor rainfall, snowfall, and their intensity in real time. It works by utilizing the conductive properties of rainwater, employing advanced detection circuitry and surface grid electrodes to sense external rain and snow conditions. It detects whether there is rain or snow in the external environment, and uses an imported intelligent microprocessor internally, resulting in sensitive response and high measurement accuracy. It is widely used in meteorological monitoring stations, traffic and road anti-skid warning systems, airport operations support, smart city drainage systems, and agriculture and facility management.

Introduct
The rain and snow sensor is a qualitative detection device for environmental monitoring based on the conductive properties of precipitation. Through its tin-plated ring-shaped sensing curve, it can rapidly identify the presence of rain or snow in the environment. Integrated with a high-performance intelligent microprocessor, the sensor delivers sensitivity and stability for timely responses to precipitation changes. Its built-in automatic heating system prevents interference from rain or snow accumulation and ice formation, ensuring continuous and reliable operation under complex weather conditions. The product outputs signals in both normally open and normally closed switch formats, offering easy installation and strong compatibility. It is suitable for diverse applications including meteorological monitoring, transportation, airport and port operations, as well as industrial and agricultural environmental surveillance.
Structure of RY-CYX Snow and Rainfall Sensor
- Sensing Probe (Sensing Surface): Mostly made of tinned or stainless steel electrodes, used to sense changes in conductivity due to rain and snow or the accumulation of precipitation.
- Signal Processing Unit: Built-in microprocessor for amplifying, filtering, and processing the collected signals.
- Heating Module: Used to melt rain and snow, prevent icing and water film residue, and improve detection stability.
- Output Interface Module: Provides signal output methods such as RS485 and relay switch signals.
- Power Supply Module: Supports DC power supply and provides voltage regulation and protection.
- Protective Casing and Mounting Structure: Waterproof and corrosion-resistant, suitable for long-term outdoor installation and use.
During installation, maintain a 15-degree angle between the sensor’s sensing surface and the horizontal plane to prevent rain or snow accumulation from affecting measurement accuracy.
