The snow gauge is a snow presence sensor that allows you to detect the snowfall phenomenon from its early stages.

The Tecnopenta snow meter  is made up of two pairs of optical sensors (emitters and receivers) which intercept any snow deposit present in the drip tray.

It has been designed as a micro-controller and is equipped with an additional contact output to signalize any possible malfunction.

This snow sensor is built almost entirely in polished stainless steel, solid and durable tool.

The fields of application of the snow meter can be various, for example the alert of the services responsible for road clearing operations or the activation of automatic snow melting systems on roofs, tensile structures, access ramps, etc.

Recently, sensors such as the Tecnopenta snow meter have been used to activate road surface heating systems to melt snow deposits.
