In March, EnviTek Kft. will complete the delivery of the second round of partial bidding for the public procurement procedure “Procurement of reference network measuring devices” announced by HungaroMet Nonprofit Zrt., which was for the delivery of 40 radar devices suitable for snow thickness measurement.
Geolux LX-80S is the innovative snow level sensor that uses advanced 80 GHz radar technology to accurately measure the distance from the sensor down to the surface of the snow. The LX-80S offers superior performance compared to traditional ultrasound devices used for snow depth measurement.
Unlike ultrasound devices that require temperature compensation due to their distance measurement being affected by air density, the LX-80S radar is not impacted by such environmental changes. Moreover, ultrasonic sensors are more susceptible to negative effects from snowfall or icicles, which can form close to the device. However, the LX-80S radar uses advanced signal processing algorithms for precipitation detection, and has a narrow radar beam of only 5°, which prevent such issues. The low power consumption of the instrument, small form factor and a rugged enclosure make this instrument easy to setup and use.
