Snow Depth Sensor (LX80-S)
Precise Radar Sensor for Snow Level Monitoring
The Geolux LX80-S is a radar-based snow depth sensor designed to deliver accurate, reliable measurements in all weather conditions. Using advanced radar technology with a narrow 5° beam width, it minimizes interference from fog, precipitation, nearby structures, and wildlife. Its low power consumption, rugged design, and industry-standard communication interfaces make it ideal for transportation, solar power plants, agriculture, and environmental monitoring.
