ECM suppliesthe high-quality systemsfor professional hydrological and meteorological applications:
- Meteorological and climatological monitoring stations and its
components - Rain-measuring stations
- Hydrological stations
- Miniature hydrologic systems assigned for placement in bore
holes of underground water monitoring systems
Our instruments are used:
- Flood prediction / warning
- Avalanche prediction / warning
- Research
- Dams / basins
- Div. Industry (mining, thermal power plants,…)
- Sewer systems
- Storm water systems
- Water Treatment plants
- Irrigation
Sommer instrumentation is designed to monitor certain characteristics:
Snow depth:
- Maintenance free ceramic Membrane
- Integrated Temp. compensation
- High power pulse for best result during snowfall
Snow water equivalent:
- No antifreeze liquid required
- Robust aluminium construction
- Range from 200 to 3000mm SWE
Ice and water contend:
- Prediction of runoff
- No ice bridging effect
- Snow-depth, snow density, liquid water and ice contend
Snow melting:
- Prediction of runoff
- Simple and easy installation
- Snow density, liquid water and ice contend close to the ground
Automatic weather station:
- Heavy duty weather station for high alpine areas
- More than 30 years experience
- Complete system out of one hand (Steel construction, sensors, software and know how)
Ice detection sensor:
- Internal plausibility check (Dew point/frost point, temp.)
- Easy integration in existing systems
- Different sensors for different applications (Airports, antennas in mountain areas, power lines, wind turbines)
Discharge mountain rivers:
- Mobile discharge measurement device
- No cross section needed
- Validation unit for already installed systems
Discharge for rivers and channels -15m/35m:
- Stationary non contact discharge measurement device
- Maintenance free
- Easy installation, because outside of the water
Mobile measurement discharge for rivers and channels:
- Mobile non contact discharge measurement device
- Use on handrails, cable ways and on a Tripod
- Alternative to ADCP boat and propeller measurement when cross-section known
Water level: 15m/ 35m /75m /120m:
- Non contact
- Maintenance free
- Indipendent of ambient conditions because of radar technology
Flow in open channels and sewer systems:
- 3m /6m /8m
- Stationary non contact discharge measurement device
- Maintenance free
- Easy installation, because outside of the water
- Mounting without entering manhole possible (under certain condition)
- Easy integration into existing control systems
