Reed Sensor Solutions in Snow Groomer Vehicles ensure a perfect ski slope
Today’s skiers and snowboarders expect a high quality recreational experience. The prime ingredient is a well-groomed snow surface on ski slopes. Slope grooming has become a standard practice in any modern ski & snowboard resort! The relatively recent expectation by guests to enjoy artificial snow surfaces in the form of terrain parks and half-pipes has raised the bar of snow grooming to a new level! Our Reed Technology is used in modern snow grooming vehicles to achieve that perfect ski slope condition – many of these reed applications come from the automotive sector and have been specially adapted for recreational vehicles such as snow groomers to guarantee a proper and reliable function even in tough weather conditions such as rain, frost, snow and ice. In conjunction with many other components it will guarantee you perfectly groomed ski slopes and unlimited fun at winter sport activities.

REED TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS ...
Avalanche Detector uses Reed Switch Technology
Winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, hiking or mountaineering tourism pose many safety hazards, due to rough terrains and often remote or isolated conditions. The imminent threat of an avalanche is good reason to be well prepared with a guide, reliable and protective equipment; especially an avalanche detector which can save lives in emergency.
Modern avalanche detectors used for "sending" and "receiving" signals manually switch between various modes. The switch operates by using a magnet and a reed switch to change between the“Send” and “Search” function.
Ideal for this application are MEDER Reed sensors. These are hermetically sealed and therefore resistant to harsh environmental influences such as heat, rain, ice and cold. MEDER’s high quality sensors can achieve over one billion cycles. Moreover, reed switches are very environmentally friendly as they consume no power and require only one permanent magnet for switching. These products are designed to the customers requirements for the magnetic sensitivity and assembly method.
