How to choose
- Confirm the maximum measuring distance and keep the installation inside the 0.1–65 m rated range, with clearance above the blind zone.
- Use a stable bracket with a clear downward view of the water surface; provide the mounting height and nearby obstructions for review.
- The verified interface is RS485 Modbus RTU with 10–33 VDC supply, so confirm the gateway port and field power before quotation.
- The standard field cable is 10 m and can be customized; state the required run from the sensor to the enclosure or gateway.
Compatible with
- 4G/LTE RTU gateway
- RS485 data acquisition gateway
- SCADA level alarms
- Solar field power kit
Typical package
- Radar level sensor
- Mounting bracket and hoop
- 10 m field cable (custom length available)
- RTU or gateway input
Applications
Use this radar sensor when a river, lake, reservoir or tank needs non-contact water-level measurement with a clear view of the surface. The reviewed unit measures from 0.1 to 65 m and sends readings over RS485 Modbus RTU to a compatible RTU or data-acquisition gateway.
- River, lake and reservoir water-level telemetry
- Non-contact tank level measurement where the surface is visible
- RS485 level input to a 4G/LTE RTU or data-acquisition gateway
- Solar-powered remote level sites after the field load is checked
