Category: Water Sensor

The OTT RLS (Radar Level Sensor) is a non-contact radar-based instrument designed for precise water level measurements in surface water bodies such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and tidal zones. Utilizing pulse radar technology, it offers high accuracy and reliability, making it suitable for applications like flood monitoring, hydrological studies, and environmental assessments. The OTT RLS employs pulse radar technology to measure the distance to the water surface. It emits radar pulses toward the water, and the time it takes for the pulses to reflect back to the sensor is used to calculate the distance. This method allows for continuous, real-time monitoring without physical contact with the water, ensuring durability and minimal maintenance.
