The SL300 Ultrasonic Snow Depth Sensor is a complete system in one compact package. In fact, the SL300 Snow Depth Sensor contains an ultra-sensitive electrostatic transducer and also the supporting circuitry. That’s why it provides a 0 to +2.5 or 0 to +5 VDC output with independent zero and adjustments over the whole operating range of detection 1.5’ – 32’.
Furthermore, The Felix Technology Inc SL300 Depth Sensor is a low-cost solution for remotely measuring water levels or snow depth.
To illustrate, the sensor measures the distance between the sensor and a target. Specifically, the sensor measures the time required for an ultrasonic pulse to travel from and to the surface.
To properly the distance; there is an integrated digital temperature sensor inside a solar radiation shield which makes it possible to have an air temperature measurement.
The state-of-the-art SL300 Depth Sensor features an extensive range of features and advantages that distinguish this quality product.
Features of SL300
- No Drift or Recalibration
- Accurate Snow Depth Measurement
- Independent Settable Zero & Span
- Temperature Compensated Output
- Digital output: RS232/485, SDI-12
- 50 KHz Electrostatic Transducer
- Compact Design
- DIP Settings for easy and quick set-up

Equally important, the SL300 Ultrasonic Snow Depth Sensor can work even in extreme conditions. Before any snow falls, you may install the unit facing down to the ground; then the sensor measures the rise and the fall as now falls.
Indeed, precise measurement of snow depth has a lot of restrictions and limitations. However, the SL300 Depth Sensor uses high technology electronics and intelligent algorithm to overcome the faults and imperfections.
At last, the SL300 features SDI-12 digital and half duplex RS485, RS232 outputs and analog voltage.
