CS475-L Radar Water-Level Sensor, 65 ft Maximum Distance
Services Available

Visão Geral

The CS475 is a radar-ranging sensor that monitors water level of rivers, lakes, tidal seas, and reservoirs. It can measure distances up to 20 meters. The CS475 outputs a digital SDI-12 signal to indicate distance and stage. Many of our data loggers can read the SDI-12 signal.

Benefícios e Características

  • FCC approved for outdoor use (FCC ID number MOIPULS616263)
  • Ideal for areas where submersed sensors can be damaged due to corrosion, contamination, flood-related debris, lightning, or vandalism
  • Compatible with most Campbell Scientific data loggers
  • Low maintenance—no moving parts significantly reduces maintenance cost and time
  • Low power consumption
  • Rugged enough for harsh environments—NEMA rated 4X
  • Wide operating temperature range (-40° to +80°C)

Descrição Técnica

The CS475 emits short microwave pulses and then measures the elapsed time between the emission and return of the pulses. The elapsed time measurement is used to calculate the distance between the sensor and the target (e.g., water, grain, slurry). The distance value can then be used to determine depth.
