Compact, reliable and cost-efficient

The SHM30plus snow depth sensor reliably determines snow depths up to 15 meter within seconds and with millimeter precision.

Based on an opto-electronic distance sensor emitting visible eye-safe laser light, the SHM30plus allows probing distances up to 50 ft 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 precipation or animals, the SHM30plus finds the snow surface by extending the measuring time and by filtering short period results. Further evaluaton of the transmitted signal strength allows discrimination between snow and grass.
