- Urban and Remote Flood Warning Networks: Integrated into stations with 4G LTE cellular communication for remote alarm notifications.
- Harsh Environments: Its ceramic pressure cell and 904L saltwater-resistant stainless steel housing make it suitable for brackish water, saltwater, and coastal environments.
- Surface and Groundwater Monitoring: Ideal for observation wells, boreholes (from 1″ diameter), dams, weirs, and irrigation systems.
- Variable Conditions: Suitable for waterways that occasionally ice over or do not contain water year-round, such as retaining basins.
- High-Stability Needs: Designed for long-term deployments where high accuracy (±0.05% FS) and minimal sensor drift are required.
Urban Flood Warning Station, OTT PLS 500
The Urban Flood Warning Station is a turn-key solution for a real-time flood warning network. This product bundle is designed to simplify the process of establishing a flood warning network in your community. Modify the station to measure additional parameters to suit your application.
- High Accuracy: Uses a ceramic pressure cell with internal compensation for water density changes.
- Robust Design: Stainless steel housing and durable cable for harsh environments.
- Atmospheric Compensation: Vented probe accounts for barometric pressure changes.
- Communication: Standard protocols (SDI-12, Modbus RTU) for easy data logger integration.
- Smart Features: Built-in QA/QC, metadata, and self-diagnostics for data confidence.
- Derived Parameters: Calculates statistics like averages and can support discharge measurements.
- Technology: Pulse Radar (25.2 GHz) for non-contact, reliable measurement.
- Measuring Range: 0.4m to 35m (approx. 1.3-115 ft).
- Accuracy: High accuracy (e.g., ±3mm in middle range).
- Interfaces: SDI-12, 4-20mA, RS-485 for data logging.
- Power: Low consumption (e.g., <15mA active @ 12V DC), ideal for solar.
- Environment: -40°C to 60°C operating, IP67 rated housing (dust/waterproof).
- Benefits: Unaffected by temp/humidity, debris; low maintenance.
