Flow velocity sensor
Suspended above the watercourse, it uses V-band 4D FMCW radar to measure the surface velocity of rivers, irrigation channels and effluents, without touching the water and with less maintenance. A MEMS sensor compensates the installation tilt on its own, and readings come out through several interfaces, ready for in-house and third-party dataloggers.
