LX80-S

LX80-S Snow Depth Sensor, 15 m range

The Geolux LX80-S is an advanced radar-based snow depth sensor designed to address the limitations of traditional measurement methods. Unlike ultrasound and laser technologies, which can be affected by temperature gradients, precipitation, and fog, the LX80-S uses radar technology to provide accurate snow depth measurements in all weather conditions. Operating with a narrow 5° beam width, it minimizes errors from nearby structures or wildlife.
