Product Description
River Flood Gauge with Integrated Stilling Tube with Real-Time Data Feeds
Unique to Radio Data Networks, this gauging station is perfect for use in applications in public areas or where flow is turbulent and a real-time upload of data is required, such as for the generation of flood warnings or the control of smart catchments.
Gauging & Flood Station Housed within GRP Stilling Tube
Supplied complete with an integrated MCETRS certified Vegapulse C21 radar it features industry leading accuracy. Optionally in areas protected from frost and ice, a single or dual hydrostatic pressure transducer/s may alternatively be supplied.
For clarity, this station is not a data logger. Instead, it is a real-time telemetry system with the choice of cellular or Iridium satellite upload for this many “not-spots” around the globe. The gauge can also be supplied with local radio telemetry on RDN’s Ofcom licenced radio channel for the purpose of local control of assets such as tilting weirs.
There is a choice of sampling rate, from 5-minutes to hourly and upload rates to match. There are also bespoke options where the upload rate can accelerate when the level exceeds a preset threshold.
