USGS Environmental Radar Level Measurement

When an environmental system integrator needed reliable level measurement of a Southern county reservoir, they turned to Flowline. The company specializes in level measurement, data acquisition, telemetry and software that monitors lakes, rivers, inland waterways, ocean tides and current. All equipment must be tested and approved by the USGS for use in these federal and state monitored systems. The I&C manager required a 80-GHz radar level sensor with an SDI-12 signal output. SDI-12 is the preferred protocol in environmental applications as its command structure has been optimized and adopted by the USGS. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our. LR81 radar level sensor with an SDI-12 signal output that’s now accepted by the USGS as a compliant product. The radar sensor provides reliable level data to the Campbell Scientific data acquisition system, that collects and transmits environmental data to the cloud. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
