1.2 General safety

This manual provides important safety considerations for the installation, operation and

maintenance of the SkyVUE™PRO. These safety considerations are classified into three levels:

WARNING:

Warnings alert the installer or user to serious hazards. Ignoring these warnings could result in

injury or death and/or irrevocable damage to the sensor unit.

SkyVUE™PRO (CS135) LIDAR Ceilometer 1

CAUTION:

Cautions warn of potential hazards. Ignoring these cautions could result in the sensor being

damaged and data being lost.

NOTE:

Notes highlight useful information in the installation, use and maintenance of this product.

These should be followed carefully in order to gain the maximum benefit from the use of this

product.

1.3 Sensor unit safety

The SkyVUE PRO sensor has been checked for safety before leaving the factory and contains no

internally replaceable or modifiable parts.

WARNING:

Do not modify the SkyVUE PRO unit. Such modifications will lead to damage of the unit and

could expose users to dangerous light levels and voltages.

WARNING:

Do not attempt to repair the SkyVUE PRO unit without consulting Campbell Scientific.

CAUTION:

Ensure that the correct voltage supply is provided to the sensor.

1.4 Laser safety

The SkyVUE PRO sensor incorporates an InGaAs laser diode which is rated as a class 3B device.

This is an embedded laser where the output from the sensor unit, through the optics, is

minimized to class 1M. This classification indicates that viewing of the beam with the naked eye is

safe but looking directly into the beam with optical instruments, e.g. binoculars can be

dangerous.

From the laser head the output has the following characteristics:

Maximum average power: 15.0 mW (through 50 mm)

Maximum pulse energy: 1500 nJ (through 50 mm)

Pulse duration: 100 ns

Pulse frequency: 10 kHz

Wavelength: 912 nm ± 5 nm

SkyVUE™PRO (CS135) LIDAR Ceilometer 2

Tested to: EN 60825-1:2014

Half angle divergence: 0.44 mrad

The sensor is marked with the following warning information:

INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION

DO NOT VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS

CLASS 1M LASER PRODUCT

WARNING:

Removing the laser module with the power applied to the SkyVUE PRO may expose the user

to hazardous class 3B laser radiation.

No attempt should be made to operate the laser module outside of the housing.

WARNING:

Annually, check that the laser warning label on the sensor is still visible and can be clearly

read.

When installing the sensor, avoid pointing the laser housing towards areas where binoculars

are in common use.

WARNING:

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified

herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

1.5 Electrical safety

Because the sensor is powered from potentially hazardous mains voltages, the power-supply

should be wired only by personnel qualified to install electrical equipment. For permanent

outside installations, this usually requires a certified electrician who is also familiar with local

electrical and safety legislation. Some general guidance is given in Connectors and wiring (p. 17),

but the responsibility for the installation lies with the installer.

The unit is tested for electrical safety before dispatch but may need subsequent testing according

to local practice.

NOTE:

The unit should only be serviced by trained personnel.

SkyVUE™PRO (CS135) LIDAR Ceilometer 3

WARNING:

Removal of electronic module covers or connectors while the unit is powered will expose the

operator to potentially hazardous voltages and risk damage to the sensor.

The SkyVUE PRO has electrical and laser warning labels on the exterior and interior of the unit.

It is recommended that the hood and access panel door are not opened in conditions of rain,

hail or snow.

Isolate the sensor before removing internal components, including the cover to the avalanche

photodiode (APD) module. Only trained personnel should disassemble the instrument.

Mains connectors are shrouded to prevent touching of the contacts. The mains supply should be

isolated when connecting and disconnecting the cables to the sensor.

Where an isolator switch is fitted, this shall be a two-pole isolator, located as near to the sensor

as possible.

The SkyVUE PRO must be properly grounded by a licensed and qualified electrician to protect

against voltage leakage shock risk (Grounding (p. 15)).

Campbell Scientific recommends that RCD protection units be used with all sensors. See Power

connections (p. 20) for further information.

Mains powered heaters are enclosed to prevent contact.

CAUTION:

When powered, the heaters may operate automatically and without warning. They may

remain hot when not powered. Follow the isolation precautions, to avoid shock and burn

hazards.

The sealed battery has cables and protected connectors to prevent shorts. Avoid shorting the

battery to protect it from damage and to avoid burns to personnel through contact with hot

surfaces.

SkyVUE™PRO (CS135) LIDAR Ceilometer 4

2.1 Introduction

The SkyVUE PRO is a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) ceilometer that emits short pulses of

near infrared light into the atmosphere from a semiconductor laser. The pulses of infrared light

are scattered back by aerosols including cloud droplets. The time between transmission of the

pulse and the return signal gives the range, and therefore height, of the scattering aerosols. The

variation in the strength of the back-scattered light signal with height gives a profile of scatter

coefficients and allows identification of cloud bases. If significant scattering is detected without a

defined cloud base, then a vertical visibility can be calculated.

The control system of the SkyVUE PRO is divided into three modules, DSP, TOP and PSU as

follows:

DSP (Digital Signal Processor) is the main data processing and communications unit of the

SkyVUE PRO. It hosts two separate time keeping circuits that are cross checked. An alarm is

triggered if the circuits disagree.
