SSR-2 Snow Scale – Intelligent System for Snow Load Monitoring

SSR-2 Snow Scale – Intelligent System for Snow Load Monitoring

Stop guessing – start measuring. SSR-2 is the market’s most accurate system for monitoring roof loads in real time. By measuring the actual weight of the snow (kg/m^2), SSR-2 gives property owners the decision-making information they need to optimize safety and minimize unnecessary shoveling costs.

The SSR-2 from Sommer Messtechnik is a high-precision system developed specifically for the automatic and continuous detection of snow load on flat roofs. Unlike simpler ultrasonic sensors that only measure snow depth, the SSR-2 weighs the snow. This is crucial as the density of snow varies greatly; wet snow weighs significantly more than powder snow at the same depth.

The system consists of seven modular aluminum plates where the central plate acts as the active wave, while the surrounding plates create a stabilization zone to eliminate error margins caused by snow drifts and settlements. Designed to integrate seamlessly into industrial control systems, the SSR-2 is the backbone of a modern building security warning system. For Stormex customers in the Nordics, this is the ultimate insurance against roof collapses and structural damage.

Technical specifications

Measuring area: 6.72 m^2 (The largest on the market for highest reliability). Measuring range: Up to 1000 kg/m^2 (Standard version). Accuracy: 0.3 \% (Industrial precision). Output signal: 4-20 mA (Standard analog output for easy PLC/Datalogger connection). Operating temperature: -40°C to +80°C (Tested for arctic environments). Enclosure class: IP 68 (Completely waterproof electronics). Material: Perforated aluminum (Ensures drainage and prevents ice formation under the scale). Dimensions: 2800 \times 2400 \times 103 mm.

Installation & Commissioning

Non-invasive installation: The system does not require any intervention in the roof's waterproofing or structure. Modular design: Delivered in seven parts that are easily assembled on site, which facilitates transport to the roof. Low operating weight: With a self-weight of only approximately 16 kg/m^2, the system does not significantly load the roof. Plug-and-Play: Can be connected to Stormex data loggers for immediate access to data via web interface.
