FAQs

Q1: How does the radar flow meter work?
A1: It uses 24GHz Microwave Doppler for surface velocity and 80GHz ToF technology for water level. This dual-frequency radar ensures high-precision, non-contact flow measurement.

Q2: Why choose non-contact radar meters?
A2: Unlike submerged meters, radar remains unaffected by corrosion, sediment, or debris. It offers lower maintenance, longer lifespan, and high reliability during flood conditions.

Q3: What are the installation requirements?
A3: Mount the device perpendicularly using the adjustable bracket. Ensure a clear line-of-sight to the water surface, preferably in a section with stable, uniform flow.

Tips: How to improve Non-Contact Radar Flow Meter signal on calm water?

To improve the Non-Contact Radar Flow Meter signal on calm or "mirror-like" water, use the adjustable bracket to tilt the meter 15° to 20° against the flow direction.

On extremely smooth surfaces, radar waves often reflect away (specular reflection) rather than returning to the meter. By angling the Non-Contact Radar Flow Meter, you increase the probability of capturing backscattered signals from subtle surface ripples. This technique significantly enhances the sensitivity of the 24GHz velocity meter, allowing for reliable data collection in low-flow conditions as slow as 0.01m/s. Always ensure the device remains stable after adjustment to prevent vibration interference.
