The Geolux RSS-2-300W radar sensor (MTI.FL.GL.300W) uses radar technology for providing contactless measurement of surface flow velocity. Contactless radar technology enables quick and simple sensor installation above the water surface with minimum maintenance. The radar operates in K-band (24.075 GHz to 24.175 GHz) and provides flow speed readings 10 times per second over serial RS-232, RS-485 Modbus, and analog 4-20 mA output. The instrument is easily integrated with Geolux or third-party dataloggers and all of the settings can be remotely configured. An integrated MEMS sensor is used for automatic angle compensation. Internal vibration monitoring and SNR calculation can be used for measurement quality assessment.
