Incredibly flexible: 4 ways to mount radar sensors

There is a lot going on in the rough environment of a sewer or rain overflow basin. During heavy rainfall events, for example, the water level swells and recedes within a very short time. In order to register the event at all, the measurement intervals must be very short. This is where the radar sensor comes into its own.

The radar sensor is used for non-contact level measurement in harsh environments and provides live data (every 10 seconds) with a battery life of up to 10 years. It convinces by its high measuring accuracy. This accuracy can be guaranteed even in narrow shafts thanks to a low radiation angle of 4°. To avoid parallax during installation, there is a spirit level on the radar sensor.

This makes assembly even easier

The radar sensorbracket is made of stainless steel. The swivel arm allows the sensor to be aligned over the level to be measured. By means of a ball-and-socket joint, the alignment is subsequently made more precise. In addition, a laser distance meter can be attached directly to the sensor holder.

The 4 options briefly explained

Pipe mounting

The radar sensor is mounted using a pipe mounting flange suitable for pipe diameters of min. 50 mm up to max. 275 mm. The swivel arm is available in a length of 140 mm or 390 mm. Depending on the selected length , the distance between the wall between the wall and the centre of the sensor holder is 250 mm or 500 mm. You can find more information here.

Wall mounting

Mounting in the duct is done by means of a wall mounting flange (drill and screw). The swivel arm is available in a length of 140 mm or 390 mm. Depending on the selected length , the distance between the wall between the wall and the centre of the sensor holder is 250 mm or 500 mm. You can find more information here.

Everything at a glance – local display applications for data loggers

Microtronics data loggers are easy to commission and configure via the web interface of the myDatanet portal. As soon as the device is in operation, the collected data is transferred to the platform where it can be visualised, evaluated and , if necessary, further processed.

For some applications, however, there is also a need to display information and measurement data directly on the device. In the following article , we present two solutions for local display and operation.
