A PRECISION water level measuring instrument using radar pulses to measure levels without direct contact with water, the RLR can be located on a bridge, pier or any structure over the water’s surface.
Unlike Radar Level Sensors, Sutron’s RADAR LEVEL RECORDER IS A LOGGING SENSOR - RECORDING DATA AT USER-SELECTED INTERVALS. Its 6-button, 2- line LCD front panel allows easy access to set-up, data and adjustments. Laptop, desktop, and pocket PCs can retrieve data downloads via an RLR command line.
Special pulse-echo technique that provides 0.001 FT RESOLUTION & 0.01 FT ACCURACY
NOT AFFECTED BY AIR TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY, common problems with other ultrasonic-type sensors
BUILT-IN DISPLAY for viewing data during installation
>300,000 readings DATA RECORDING MEMORY
SDI-12 & RS232 interfaces
Powerful data processing modes including DQAP & moving average
Diagnostic features include recording of signal strength and standard deviation.
Integrated antenna or install antenna separately
Operates as stand-alone station or with other DCP
Connects to a SatLink2 Transmitter/Logger for SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS or a CELL MODEM.
