WLR/S & WLR/L - Radar Hydrometer

Product catalog summary
Overview
The WLR is a radar sensor designed for continuous level measurement in both liquids and solids. It is particularly effective for measuring water levels in various environments such as streams, rivers, reservoirs, and water treatment systems. The device is known for its high protection level and reliability in diverse conditions.

Functionality
The WLR operates by transmitting a radar signal through its antenna, which reflects off the liquid surface and returns as an echo with a modified frequency. This frequency change is proportional to the distance, allowing the device to accurately determine the water level. The radar technology ensures independence from temperature and humidity variations, providing precise measurements in all weather conditions.

Design and Maintenance
WLR is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance due to its compact design, lack of submerged or moving parts, and integrated self-monitoring and diagnostic systems.

Technical Specifications
  • Measuring Range: WLR/S up to 15 m, WLR/L up to 30 m
  • Accuracy: ± 2 mm
  • Temperature Range: -40°F to 176°F (-40°C to +80°C)
  • Frequency: 80 GHz
  • Measurement Cycle Time: ≤ 250 ms
  • Bounce Response Time: ≤ 3 s
  • Irradiation Angle: WLR/S 8°, WLR/L 4°
  • Output: 4-20 mA, Modbus, SDI-12
  • Protection Type: IP66/IP68 (3 bar), Type 6P

Additional Features
The WLR can be easily calibrated wirelessly via a built-in Bluetooth module using a PC, smartphone, or tablet through a dedicated app, which also facilitates diagnostic operations.

WLR/S & WLR/L - Radar Hydrometer-1

WLR/S & WLR/L - Radar Hydrometer WLR is a radar sensor for a con nuous level measurement, suitable for use in liquids and solids. In par cular, WLR is a useful device for water level measurement in streams, rivers, reservoirs, water treatment systems, pumping sta ons, reservoirs and in many other contexts also thanks to a high degree of protec on. As all CAEtech products, WLR is an extremely resistant product requiring li le and easy maintenance thanks to its compact design, the absence of parts immersed in water or mechanical moving parts and the use of self-monitoring and diagnos c systems. The device transmits a radar signal through its antenna which is reflected by the liquid and reapplied by the antenna as an echo with a modified frequency. The frequency varia on is propor onal to the distance and is converted to the level's height of the water. The independence from temperature and humidity varia ons, typical of radar technology, allows accurate measurements in all weather condi ons
