The P40/P7/P3 radar is a pulsed radar level sensor developed by DAWIN. 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. Versatile and simple to install, the P series addresses a number of the issues traditionally associated with level measurement.

The radar level sensor is for non-contact water level measurement at surface water locations. The sensor uses impulse radar technology to determine the water level. This energy-efficient, non-contact measurement method means the sensor operates with no effect from temperature gradients, water pollution or sediment load and ensures exact measurements.

Features:

--- <900g weight, light, compact housing

--- 6KV lightening protection

--- Non-contact measurement.   Ideal for flood measurement

--- Easy mounting.   Uses rotatable swivel, easy alignment of the front plate (antenna side)

--- Sensor is away from the water, making the installation safer to achieve

--- Influence of waves are compensated mathematically and no requirement for the use of structures

--- Standard interfaces for communication with data loggers and other peripheral devices (RS-485 interface or 4-20 mA signal output)

--- Extremely low power consumption, can be easily used at remote locations

--- 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

Suitable Applications:

--- Channels that suffer from high levels of flotsam and sediment load

--- Locations that have high levels of in-channel weed growth

--- Isolated, remote sites that are powered using alternative energy supplies

--- Areas subject to flooding (in addition to existing sensors)
