SNOW SEEKER

Remote Snow depth readings with site temperature

 

 

VMR Ultrasonic ranging systems also include solid or liquid level measurements in silos, tanks or wood-chip bins. Systems can be modified for use on mobile robotic platforms.

 

Mounted on top of a remote mountain is a radio attached to a VMR SnowSeeker. Using DTMF tones, an operator can interrogate the SnowSeeker to gauge snow depth and receive a DTMF tone reading indicating snow depth and environmental temperature. The system uses a computer with software developed by VMR and the data is stored in a file with the site number and date and time interrogated. This file is converted to Excel, which can be graphed or viewed through Excel software.

The accuracy of the level sensor is one centimeter or 1/4 inch. The range of the sensor is .2 of a meter or 12 inches to 15 meters or 30 feet. The accuracy of the temperature is plus or minus .5 degree.
