OrderableSDI-12, Radar Water-Level Sensor
Overview
The RangeVue™15 is a non-contact, radar water-level sensor used for monitoring the water level of rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Using 80 GHz radar technology, it directly measures the distance between the sensor face and the water surface. This distance can be used to determine water level or stage. The sensor is ideal for areas where submersible sensors can be damaged due to corrosion, contamination, flood-related debris, or lightning.
Key Advantages
Distance up to 15 meters
