F40 Integrated Radar Flowmeter

The F40 radar flowmeter integrates a P40 level sensor and a V20 surface velocity

sensor, which enables F40 to measure real time water flow. It uses standard

Modbus/RS485 protocol and can be operated in a standalone mode, with optional

telemetry systems or interfaced directly to a third party data logger or PC.

The radar flowmeter is for non-contact flow measurement at surface water

locations. It uses impulse radar technology to determine the water level and

velocity. This energy-efficient, non-contact measurement method means the

device operates with no effect from temperature gradients, water pollution or

sediment load and ensures exact measurements.

Features:

--- Non-contact measurement

--- Integrated tilt sensor

--- Uses rotatable swivel and easy mounting

--- Sensor is away from the water, making the installation safer to achieve

--- Standard interfaces for communication with data loggers and other devices

--- Extremely low power consumption

--- Anti polarity protection

--- Flat antenna means that insect and spider infestation is not a problem

--- Compact and solid design – long sensor life with minimal maintenance

--- RS-485 interface – allows a connection cable length of up to 1,000 m, allowing

data logger and power source to be situated further away

--- Wide range of power supply from 7-32 V (typically 12 / 24 V) – allows differing

power supplies such as solar panel, battery or grid

--- Flow, level and velocity outputs

Suitable Applications:

--- Rivers

--- Streams

--- Canals

--- Irrigation canals

--- Process water canals

--- Outlets / Inlets
