Ya está disponible la nueva versión del sensor SR50A para medida del grosor de nieve.
Ver SnowVUE™10.
Resumen
El sensor de medida de distancia SR50A, basado en ultrasonidos, permite determinar el grosor de la nieve. Determina la distancia emitiendo un pulso ultrasónico y luego calcula el tiempo transcurrido entre la emisión y la recepción del pulso. Es necesario medir la temperatura del aire para corregir las variaciones de la velocidad del sonido en el aire.
Nota: Campbell Scientific recomienda el modelo SR50A-EE-L para uso en condiciones ambientales extremas donde la corrosión pueda ser un problema (como en zonas costeras).

Descripción detallada
The SR50A was designed to meet the stringent requirements of measuring snow depth, and it uses a multiple echo processing algorithm to help ensure measurement reliability.
SDI-12, RS-232, and RS-485 output options are available for measuring the SR50A. Campbell Scientific’s MD485 interface can be used to connect one or more SR50A sensors in RS-485 mode to an RS-232 device. This can be useful for sensors that require lead lengths that exceed the limits of either RS-232 or SDI-12 communications.
The SR50A replaced the SR50 in March 2007. The newer SR50A is smaller and has different output options than its predecessor. The SR50AH is available with a heater option for locations where rime ice is a problem.

-
No. This causes echoes and reflections that confuse the sensor.
-
No. The maximum cable length is approximately 800 ft.
-
Yes. This sensor has an SDI-12 output.
-
Approximately 800 feet. This is a function of the limitations of the SDI-12 signal.
-
The sensitivity can be adjusted slightly at the factory, but it cannot be recalibrated. Typically, the transducing diaphragm needs to be replaced periodically to maintain calibration. This can be done by the user or at the factory.
-
Because the speed of sound changes with temperature, Campbell Scientific recommends using the SR50A-L in tandem with a temperature sensor for the most accurate measurements.
-
The potential error is roughly ±0.4% of distance for a ±25° Celsius variation away from 0° Celsius.
-
Position the sensor at a height that is between 0.5 m and 10 m above the target.
