RSS-2-300W-QX is a revolutionary radar type flow meter based on surface velocity and level measurement. RSS-2-300W-QX radar flow meter uses state of the art non-contact radar measuring technology to provide precise contactless measurement of flow discharge above the water surface. Contactless radar & ultrasonic technology enables quick and easy instrument installation above the water surface, and requires almost no maintenance.

RSS-2-300W-QX flow meter is used to monitor flow discharge of open channels such as rivers, irrigation channels or sewer systems, and for monitoring and control of hydro-power plants and wastewater treatment plants. The flow meter is also suitable for various mass flow metering applications in mining processing plants, industrial installations, and, due to operation without moving parts and robust mechanical design, is ideal for measurement of flammable fluids and harsh chemical applications.

The radar flow meter is combined with a radar based velocity sensor and water level sensor .

By introducing the superior dual radar technologies , measurement accuracy of radar flow meter is not influenced by air humidity (including fog), precipitation, air temperature ,fluctuations driftwood ,debris & Sediment concentration etc. Further advantages include the low energy consumption, short measuring cycle, minor dead angles and the short mounting distance.Possible false echoes caused by nearby supports etc, are removed by internal configuration of the software.RSS-2-300W-QX radar operates in K-band (at 24.125 or 24.200 GHz), and provides flow speed & level readings 20 times per second over serial (RS-232, RS-485) interfaces. Variety of supported communication interfaces and protocols enable easy integration with existing telemetry equipment and SCADA systems.

Installation is easy with minimum construction work.RSS-2-300W-QX is excellent where driftwood, debris, water traffic, or ice could damage stilling wells or other structures. The device can easily be relocated in the event of a storm changing the flow pattern, or if the river bed is sandy.

Open Channel Flow Measuremen

RSS-2-300W-QX radar flow meter provides precise contactless measurement of surface flow velocity and water level.  The radar sensors are immune to air temperature / air density changes. Since the radar is packed inside IP66-rated waterproof enclosure, it is perfectly suitable for measuring open channel flow. The radar can be mounted either above the stream or sideways. The radar supports multiple communication interfaces and protocols, which makes it easy to integrate in an existing SCADA system.


Industrial Flow Measurement

RSS-2-300W-QX radar flow metercan be used for precise flow measurement in all kinds of outdoor and indoor industrial facilities. Since the radar waves propagate through plastic materials, the radar can be used to measure flow speed inside plastic pipes/tubes within an industrial facility. RSS-2-300W-QX radar flow meter is also perfectly suited for use in various water/sewage processing facilities, hydro power plants etc.
