The radar operates in the K-band (at 24.125 GHz), and provides 20 flow speed readings per second over serial (RS-232, RS-485) and CAN interfaces. A variety of supported communication interfaces and protocols enable easy integration with existing telemetry equipment and SCADA systems. The integrated tilt sensor measures inclination angle of the sensor and the flow velocity measurement is automatically cosine-corrected according to the measured mounting tilt angle.
Geolux RSS-2-300 W radar sensor is certified according to both European and American standards, and is being used worldwide.
