LMU Munich and the MOVE T56N – Extreme research

They were looking for a suitable mini PC for a measuring station that measures and analyzes the snow water equivalent and the moisture content of the snow 2500 meters above sea level. 

In addition to the constant availability, the challenge was to cope with the limited infrastructure and the extreme climatic conditions prevailing there.

Technical adaptability to extreme conditions was the most important criterion for the scientists at LMU Munich. 

spo-book MOVE T56N is the name of the system. In addition to approval for ambient temperatures from -30°C to +60°C despite passive cooling, it has a voltage input of 9V to 36V direct current. The voltage transformer, which is optimized for the automotive sector, reliably compensates for temporary irregularities and protects the entire system with an additional fuse. 

Another advantage is the high-quality workmanship of the internal and external plug connections, which do not come loose even when subjected to vibrations or strong thermal differences. 

A mini PC, which was developed for the extraordinary loads in motor vehicles, is also convincing as a measuring station in the high mountains under difficult conditions. So the water content of snow in this region is no secret.
