The Importance Of A Condensation Sensor

By Stephanie Perry


Technology has come a long way and continues to provide improvements in our lives. The benefits it provides can be found in our homes and in our vehicles. Everything from GPS to a simple condensation sensor can be found in a list of technological improvements in life. The condensation device is one that can be found in both places. Originally it was used with the clothes dryer. With it in place, the dryer would be able to test the moisture coming from the clothes and stop when they were dry. This helps reduce wear on them because the clothes will not continue to be cooked in the dryer when they are no longer wet. This same type of device can be found in vehicles and helps keep the window clear to provide safer driving conditions.

The fog monitor keeps the inside of the windshield from fogging up. By doing this, the driver may never have to worry about having to wipe the window or squint to see the traffic ahead. As the device recognizes moisture building up on the glass, it automatically adjusts the airflow settings to make sure the glass stays clear. This type of vehicle addition could save countless lives and stop many accidents by making sure the driver can always see. Some will just be set for the front window, but many offer them for all glass in the car.

There is another device that detects when it is raining. The nice thing is that it can detect just droplets when the weather isn't so bad. As it detects this it will start up the windshield wipers and set the speed automatically based on how wet the window is getting. Most cars have the timed delay but this is a pain when you're in traffic and the amount of water keeps changing. When you speed up you have to adjust the timer again. With the detection device, it will adjust the speed based on the conditions without needing action from the driver.

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 part stops working it needs to be replaced. You need to either hire a mechanic or make sure the device you are putting on is the exact one for your vehicle. If they are installed improperly they will not work.

Having these types of devices in the car can be lifesavers. The ability to keep the window clean and clear is critical to driving in bad weather. If your car doesn't come with them, you might consider having them installed aftermarket.
