RADAR SENSOR RQ-30L

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENT FOR OPEN RIVERS WITH EXTERNAL WATER LEVEL DATA

Innovative radar sensor for non-contact discharge measurement of rivers, open channels and canals with the possibility to use and integrate external water level data.

 

Description

FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES

  • Discharge measurement by means of innovative radar technology and through the integration of external data (water level and cross-section profile)
  • Upgrading of existing measuring sites with additional surface velocity measurement
  • Well-proven RQ radar technology: non-contact measuring, maintenance free and flood-proof
  • No structural work is necessary for the water
  • Recognition of flow direction and hysteresis effects
  • Measurement in tidal waters
  • Measurement in backwater situations
  • Measures even where weed growth prevails and in waters with high turbidity
  • Measuring range 0.08 … 16 m/s (depending on flow conditions)
  • Analog outputs 4 to 20 mA (optional)
