FMCW radar flowmeter
Measure water level, velocity and flow
Low power consumption
RS485/Modbus and/or 3/4G wireless output
Easy mounting
The F40 radar flowmeter integrates a P40 level sensor and a V20 surface velocity sensor, which enables F40 to measure real time water flow. It uses standard
Modbus/RS485 protocol and can be operated in a standalone mode, with optional telemetry systems or interfaced directly to a third party data logger or PC.
The radar flowmeter is for non-contact flow measurement at surface water locations. It uses impulse radar technology to determine the water level and
velocity. This energy-efficient, non-contact measurement method means the device operates with no effect from temperature gradients, water pollution or
sediment load and ensures exact measurements.
Features:
--- Non-contact measurement
--- Integrated tilt sensor
--- Uses rotatable swivel and easy mounting
--- Sensor is away from the water, making the installation safer to achieve
--- Standard interfaces for communication with data loggers and other devices
--- Extremely low power consumption
--- Anti polarity protection
--- Flat antenna means that insect and spider infestation is not a problem
--- Compact and solid design – long sensor life with minimal maintenance
--- RS-485 interface – allows a connection cable length of up to 1,000 m, allowing data logger and power source to be situated further away
--- Wide range of power supply from 7-32 V (typically 12 / 24 V) – allows differing power supplies such as solar panel, battery or grid
--- Flow, level and velocity outputs
Suitable Applications:
--- Rivers
--- Streams
--- Canals
--- Irrigation canals
--- Process water canals
--- Outlets / Inlets
