BRIEF INFORMATIONRain/light sensor

� Fourth generation of the long-established HELLA rain sensors � Five functions in one product: rain, light, solar, and humidity measurement as well as adjustment of the light intensity on the Head-Up-Display

� Optimised design – Extremely compact packaging

PRODUCT FEATURESThis new sensor offers the user five functions in one product:

Rain sensorThe rain sensor is used to recognise different rain situations in the sensor range and activates the front windshield wiper accordingly. Thus, manual intervention by the driver is now more or less unnecessary.

Light sensorAs a light sensor it controls the activation and deactivation of the low beam light in different lighting conditions or in special situations such as in tunnels.

Head-Up-Display If it is used for the Head-Up-Display, the sensor detects the brightness in the vehicle's immediate vicinity and adjusts the light intensity of the display based on the current light conditions.

Solar sensorThe solar sensor measures the insolation and supports the air conditioning control system.

Humidity measurementThe humidity measurement is used to control the air conditioning control unit for the air conditioning in the vehicle interior, such as automatic ventilation of the windshield.

INTERFACES / FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The system overview illustration shows an option for how the sensor communicates with other system components in the vehicle via the LIN interface. Here the sensor is switched on by the overriding control unit and supplied with voltage. It thus provides the system with information, however it does not have direct access to the system itself.
