Snow LevelCompact, reliable and cost efficient: The snow depth sensor reliably determines snow depths within a measuring range of up to 10 metre within seconds and with millimeter precision.
The snow depth sensor reliably determines snow depths up to 10 metre within seconds and with millimeter
precision.
Based on an opto-electronic distance sensor emitting visible eye-safe laser light, allows probing distances up to 30 metres to detect the surface level. Unlike snow depth sensors using ultrasonic methods, the laser distance measuring technique is independent of temperature changes.
Even if the measuring process is impaired by precipitation, the reliably finds the snow surface due to its mode
of operation. Further evaluation of the transmitted signal strength allows discrimination between snow and grass.
Benefits
- Determination of snow depth over long distances using opto-electronic measuring technique
- MTBF (meantime between failure) >40.000h (duty cycle 30% 3 measurements/min)
- The build in heater does mainly keep the build in laser diode in specs to ensure a long lifetime
- Very compact and weatherproof housing
- Efficient background light suppression
- Allows discrimination between snow and grass
