Radar flow meter t062b-WD

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.
