    Obliqueness For best performance, rotationally mount the sensor so that it is normal to the ground, i.e. measuring perpendicular to the ground surface; however, it does have the ability to be mounted at angles or on IMU Directionality Roll: Rotation about the axis running through the clamp mount (this is the rotation monitored in Pitch: Rotation about the axis running through the connector Yaw: Rotation about the axis running through the top dome peak Roll...
  • Page 3 Pairing and Bonding Security The mobile device will now have to pair and bond to the SNOdar device. This is an encryption-based security feature to protect the device and its data from nefarious and/or unintentional actions.

  • Page 4: Sensor Setup

    Sensor Setup run the Sensor Setup located in the Kebab Menu on the home screen. Sensor Mode • The Snow Depth sensor mode is standard automated snow depth measurement. The unit needs to be calibrated at the beginning of each season (preferably when NO snow is present) for accu- rate, settled snow depth measurements.
  • Page 5 Mounting: Distance Calibration The Sensor Calibration Page allows the sensor to calibrate. To do so clear any obstruction from below the sensor, press the Calibrate from the sensor. Location The Location Page uses your mobile device’s GPS to determine the sensor’s location. To update the location tap the Refresh Coords button.

  • Page 6: Measurement Interval

    Name Sensor The Name Sensor Page allows for the sensor to be given a unique name. The name can be reverted back to the original sensor name by pressing the Refresh icon to the Snowfall The Snowfall page allows for a time to be set at which the snowfall calculations for the day and the season will start over.

  • Page 7: Complete Setup

    Enhanced Temperature Control While the SNOdar has a standard temperature control, the Enhance Temperature Control page allows for the temperature control to be disabled or set to Line Powered control. Detailed infor- mation about each of these options can be found by tapping the more info button.
  • Page 8 Summary The Summary Page provides an overview of the sensor’s data as well as displays any errors with section of the user guide. The Summary Page contains information on snow depth, sensor storage, measurement infor- mation, sensor power, internal sensor temperature including potential heater failure, and sensor orientation including potential sensor drift.
  • Page 9 More information about each log can be found under the SNOLOG Information button. To view a graph of the log, tap the View button. Tapping the Share button will bring up op- tions for sharing the log or uploading to your cloud storage of choice.
  • Page 10 Appendix Device Firmware Update (DFU) over-the-air (OTA). Toggle the main Kebab menu in the upper left corner of the sensor card on the Home page. If there is an available update, a red-encircled + alert will appear by the Update action. Initiate the ta, then hold Cyan while it is updating.

  • Page 11: Understanding The Menus

    Orientation Drift: This sensor orientation drift has been detected in the sensor’s orientation. This error can be resolved by adjusting the sensor back to the correct orientation. Heater Failure: seen if the sensor’s internal heater fails. Understanding the Menus General App Info is contained in the upper right Hamburger Menu.
