Radar Water Level Sensor LPR

Radar Water Level Sensor LPR

Product catalog summary
Overview: The LPR (Level Probing Radar) is a water level sensor utilizing radar technology, entirely designed and manufactured in Italy. It is suitable for measuring water levels in streams, rivers, reservoirs, and other liquids. Key features include a reduced measuring cone, low power consumption, compact design, and no mechanical moving parts, ensuring robustness and reliability.
Specifications: The LPR offers a measurement range from 0.5 m to 35 m with a minimum resolution of 1 mm and an accuracy of ±2 mm. It operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -30°C to +50°C. The device provides outputs for water or soil level and includes internal diagnostics such as an electronic bubble level and internal temperature monitoring.
Performance: The LPR delivers fast and precise measurements in less than 10 seconds, with a sampling rate of approximately 500 ms. The default measuring time is customizable, starting from 500 ms. It features an RS485 interface implementing the SDI-12 standard protocol and a 4-20 mA analog interface.
Installation and Configuration: The LPR is designed for easy installation with a practical configuration software available for PC or tablet. This software helps identify and isolate obstacles in the measurement area and allows users to adjust operating parameters. The device is lightweight, weighing 1.1 kg without cable, and has dimensions of 34 cm in length and 9 cm in diameter. It is protected with an IP67 rating and can be mounted using a 1" ¼ inch structure.
Power and Consumption: The LPR operates on a power supply of 10-16 V DC, with a warm-up time of approximately 4 seconds. Power consumption varies from 0.8 mA in standby mode to 50 mA during measurement.
Included Accessories: The package includes a 15-meter cable (customizable), a user manual available in English, Italian, or Spanish, and online assistance during the warranty period in the same languages.

Radar Water Level Sensor LPR-1

LPR ‐ LEVEL PROBING RADAR First and only water level sensor based on radar technology en rely designed and manufactured in Italy, LPR is available in the version for measuring the water level in streams, rivers and reservoirs and liquids. LPR is characterised by a reduced measuring cone, low power consump on, compact design and absence of parts immersed in water. It has no mechanical moving parts and is therefore extremely robust. LPR is designed for use in a wide range of situa ons. Independence from changes in temperature and humidity, typical of radar technology, provides accurate measurements in all weather condi ons, with a measurement accuracy of ±2 mm up to 35 metres away. Thanks to its high technology, LPR is able to provide a reliable and precise measurement in less than 10 seconds, making it the fastest in its category. To simplify and reduce the cost of installa on, LPR is provided together with a prac cal configura on so ware for PC or tablet. Thanks to this interface it is possible to iden fy and isolate, with the aid of a graph, any obstacles in the measurement area (pillars, boulders, containment structures, etc.) that are not the actual target to be measured. The same so ware allows the user to adjust all the opera ng parameters, including measurement mes. In addi on to providing a 4‐20 mA standard analogical physical interface, LPR has an RS485 port that implements an SDI‐12 standard protocol, with a mechanism that makes it simple to install and easy to interface with any data
