Water flow

The t062-WV radar flow meter is a discharge measuring system designed for the installation on both open rivers and channels. The non-contanct technology allows the unit to be quickly and easily installed above the water, ensuring minimal maintenance. It combines an integrated velocity meter which can be connected to an external water level sensor through the use of Modbus interface. The measuring principle of the velocity meter is based on the Doppler frequency shift, while the water level sensor typically measures the time of flight of the reflected radar signal. These two measures are combined together by the internal electronic and the real-time water discharge is calculated by using a pre-configuration based on the site geometry and physical characteristics. The unit can be supplied with different electrical outputs also for an easy integration of into existing telemetry equipment and SCADA systems. The sensor is housed into a IP67 housing made of powder coated aluminium which is designed to ensure a high protection in the case of vandalisms.

The t062-WD sensor is a flow measurement system specifically designed for installations on
rivers and artificial canals. The use of non-contact technology allows for easy installation of
the sensor cantilevered on the water surface, as well as ensuring minimal maintenance. The
t062-WD integrates a water velocity measurement system and an internal level sensor
interfaced via Modbus in the same sensor. The measurement principle of the velocity
sensor is physically based on the different frequency of the returning signal according
to the Doppler effect, while the radar level sensor typically measures the flight time of the
signal emitted by the sensor-towards the water surface.
These two measurements are combined by the internal electronics to get the real-time flow
measurement, after a sensor configuration taking into account geometry and main hydraulic
characteristics of the river section to be monitored.
The sensor can be supplied with different electrical outputs that allow greater versatility for integration into telemetry and SCADA systems.
The electronics are housed inside a powder-coated aluminum body with IP67 protection class, also designed to ensure high robustness against possible vandalism.
