The SR50 has been replaced by the SR50A.
The SR50 is a rugged, acoustic distance sensor that is manufactured by Campbell Scientific Canada. It measures the elapsed time between emission and return of an ultrasonic pulse. This measurement can be used to determine snow or water depth. An air temperature measurement is required to correct for variations of the speed of sound in air.
