Overview
This product is mainly used for water measurement in open channels such as reservoir dams and rivers, serving as a data terminal for remote monitoring, and is usually installed for measurement at a standard cross-section. The flow meter uses a high-precision radar to measure water level and flow velocity, uses Chengan's own irrigation channel model for flow calculation, and applies corrections taking into account the influence of the surrounding environment of the open channel.
Flow measurement data is output from the serial port using a standard protocol or a proprietary protocol.
The open channel flow meter mainly consists of a radar velocity meter and a radar water level meter. The working state is shown in the diagram below:
