The Importance Of A Condensation Sensor

By Stephanie Perry


Technology continues to improve and be reduced in size. This provides great benefits in many different industries as the various types of systems can be incorporated into homes and vehicles. One example is the condensation sensor. This is something that has been included in clothes dryers for many years and makes them more efficient and safe. Rather than having to guess how long to dry clothes, the sensor measures the moisture and the clothes stop being heated when they are actually dry. This technology is now being included in modern vehicles to sense foggy windshields and rainy days.

A humidity monitor can be found in newer vehicles that help keep the windows from fogging up. This allows the driver to stop having to squint or constantly clean the inside of the glass while driving. Many accidents have happened because the driver couldn't see as they were heading to work. The system automatically detects the moisture before the window fogs up and adjusts the systems air to prevent it from doing so.

On the outside of the window is a rain sensor. This is sometimes attached to the wipers. Drivers are aware of having to constantly adjust the speed of the wipers when going from full speed to being at a stop light. The system can now detect the amount of water on the window and adjust the wipers automatically. This lets the driver just focus on driving and not have to worry about constantly being distracted by making adjustments to be able to see.

Turning them on is very easy. The rain meter settings can be found in the dash menu of modern vehicles. Under the vehicle menu is a setting for the wipers. This has the setting for the rain meter. Setting it on and then putting the wiper knob to automatic will let the sensor do its job. The same system will automatically turn on the front and back lights when it detects rain and makes for a safer driving situation. The light knob should also be set to auto for this to happen.

Turning the devices off puts the car back in the traditional mode. There are times when you may not want the car to run the wipers or keep the lights on in bad weather. Sitting in a parking space while waiting for someone is an example. In this case, you can either go through the menu on the dash and turn it off or simply turn both the wiper and light settings to off manually. When you're ready to go again, simply turn them back to auto and the vehicle will begin detecting the weather again.

Glass technicians well detach the devices. If you need the glass replaced, be sure to let the shop know that you have these devices on your car. They will usually be detachable and can easily be connected to the new glass. In some cases, the new glass will need to have new devices on them before replacement.

If the device fails you should have it replaced. Most will need to be replaced by a certified mechanic to make sure it works with the car and is installed properly. Once it is replaced things should be back to normal.

These devices can easily save lives by making sure the windshield is clear and your visibility is always clear as well. Driving in bad weather has enough distractions and having these in place will help reduce others. There are aftermarket versions available for those that do not have them in their car already.
