OTT – RLS Radar Level Sensor

Description

OTT – RLS Radar Level Sensor

Non-contact water level sensor for long term surface water measurements

• Application: Surface water
• Parameters measured: Water level / distance to water
• Measurement technology: Non-contact pulse radar
• Product highlights: Measures water level or depth to water from a bridge, pier or mounting arm
• Measurement range: 0.4 … 35 m
• Accuracy: 0.8 … 2 m: ± 10 mm; 2 … 30 m: ± 3 mm; 30 … 35 m: ± 10 mm
• Internal data logger:No
• Interface: SDI-12, RS-485 (using SDI-12), or 4 …20 mA

Advantages:

• No drift over time
• High Performance–Measurements are unaffected by air temperature, humidity, flood events, floating debris, or contaminated water; reduces the likelihood of missing data and reduces data post processing
• Low Maintenance–Flat antenna design eliminates nesting areas for insects and periodic maintenance requirement
• Flexible Integration/Easy Setup–Connects to most data loggers via standard communication interfaces, SDI-12 or 4 … 20 mA; no need for additional PC software
• Simple Installation–Light weight compact design facilitates easy mounting on bridges, extension mounting bracket or inside a small protective housing
• Low Profile Design–Unobtrusive appearance is ideal for urban installation sites or sites prone to vandalism
• Low Power Consumption–Ideal for remote or solar powered sites; requires only 12 mA when active

Example of Use:

For surface water level measurement of:

• Streams and rivers
• Tidal zones
• Reservoirs and lakes

Ideal for monitoring:

• Surface waters prone to flooding
• Sediment or debris laden streams and rivers
• Migrating channels
