LaserLEVEL

Non-contact, long-range level

FEATURES

LevelLEVEL monitors water level by measuring the distance to the water surface, while mounted safely above the water body, protected from fouling and corrosion that can damage submersible sensors.

  • INNOVATIVE MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUE. Near-Infrared laser reflection from water surface with eye-safe laser power levels. Measures over 35m range with suitable surface conditions.
  • SDI12 or SERIAL. Configurable serial port for connection to a SDI12 master or as a serial output port for almost any system.
  • ANALOG or ALARM. Configurable Aout port for 10-bit analog output (0-1V or 0-3.3V) or alarm output based on a configurable threshold.
Long-range
Up to 35m range
Non-contact
Non-fouling, no-drift, above flood elevation
Laser
Not affected by air temperature or ambient light conditions
High speed
Up to 200 readings per second for wave statistics

OPTIONS

HOUSING OPTIONS

AirLEVEL
Weatherproof housing for external mounting away from telemetry system. This model has an integrated bubble level, weatherproof cable connection for SDI12, Aout and USB connection.
AirLEVEL
Internal housing for mounting in the bottom of another enclosure or protected environment (shown here with radar velocity sensor). This model has an integrated USB port and terminals for wiring

ADDITIONAL SENSORS

Optionally fitted with an integrated infrared thermometer for surface water temperature measurements or to detect the presence of boats or other objects under laser beam.

WAVE STATISTICS

Additional licenced firmware for highest speed data processing and wave statistics calulcations to derive Mean Wave Period (MWP) and Significant Wave Height (SWH) from level data
