SMA, sensor table

The installation and base-measurement settings for the installed SMA‑flat-ribbon sensors. By default, the sensors are configured as follows:

	Length [mm]	Foot height [mm]	Head height [mm]	Min. Coverage [mm]	C base LF [pF]	C base HF [pF]
01	4800	80	2580	-1	-	-
02	4800	100	100	-1	-	-
03	4800	300	300	-1	-	-
04	4800	500	500	-1	-	-

Sensor length

Length of SMA‑flat-ribbon sensor.

Foot height

Mounting height at the lower end of a tilted sensor (see Figure 10). For horizontally mounted sensors Foot height and Head height are equal.

Head height

Mounting height at the upper end of a tilted sensor (see Figure 10). For horizontally mounted sensors Foot height and Head height are equal.

Min. Coverage

The minimum length the sensor has to be covered in snow to yield valid measurements.

C base LF

Sensor adjustment value.

C base HF

Sensor adjustment value.

Sensor zero adjust

Function to perform a zero adjustment of the sensor (see Section Calibration of SMA‑2-flat-ribbon-sensors for details).

Test sensor

Function to perform a test measurement of the selected SMA‑sensor.
