Incredibly flexible: 5 ways to mount the radar sensor

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 holder of the radar sensor 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.
