SR50ATH-L Sonic Distance Sensor with Heater and Temperature Sensor

概要

The SR50ATH is a sonic distance sensor with an integrated external temperature probe and heater. Sonic sensors determine distance by emitting an ultrasonic pulse and then measuring the elapsed time between the emission and return of the pulse. The temperature probe allows the SR50AT series to output temperature-corrected values (speed of sound varies with temperature). The integrated heater prevents ice and rime from coating the transducer.

Note: Campbell Scientific recommends model SR50AT-316SS-L for marine environments.

詳細

The SR50ATH is an identical unit to the SR50A with the addition of an external temperature sensor and transducer heater. The temperature sensor requires a six-plate radiation shield. The addition of a heating element around the transducer prevents ice and rime from coating the transducer with minimal power requirements. The SR50ATH outputs a temperature-corrected distance reading, eliminating the need for further post-processing, as well as a separate temperature reading.

The SR50ATH was designed to meet the stringent requirements of measuring snow depths and uses a multiple echo processing algorithm to help ensure measurement reliability. The SR50ATH is compatible with all current Campbell Scientific data loggers, as well as many other data acquisition systems.

Data Logger Considerations

One single-ended channel per probe is required; an excitation channel can be shared by several probes.
