Our Q-Eye Radar solution monitors contaminated media in open channels and partially filled pipes without contact and with minimal maintenance, is compact and easy to install, and reliably measures bidirectional flows down to very low velocities from 0.02 m/s.
Q-Eye Radar is designed for stationary monitoring of lightly to heavily contaminated media in open channels or partially filled pipes. It is suitable for continuous operation in open channels and rivers as well as in municipal wastewater and stormwater systems. Its compact design and non-contact measuring principle enable easy installation and ensure safe, low-maintenance operation. In addition, Q-Eye Radar detects bidirectional flows across its entire measuring range and measures flow velocities near zero down to 0.02 m/s, allowing even very low flows to be reliably monitored.
Mounting outside the medium – no contact with contaminated liquid and no sensor maintenance required due to fouling.
Radar velocity sensor and water level sensor provide precise data for flow calculation in open channels.
The velocity sensor sends a radar signal to the water surface, which is reflected – the Doppler frequency shift determines the local flow velocity.
The height sensor measures the water level at the same point; the system calculates areas and total flow based on the channel profile.
Ideal for wastewater, rainwater and open channels – reliable, low-maintenance and precise.
Our sensor range includes speed velocity and water level sensors for hydrological and wastewater applications – optionally ultrasonic, radar or hydrostatic.
Q-Eye Radar has an integrated web server with WebUI, which can be controlled directly via the standard browser of smartphone, tablet or notebook without additional software – for particularly easy parameterization and data visualization.
The Q-Eye Radar is designed for stationary flow monitoring in open channels and partially filled pipes and, thanks to its compact design and non-contact measuring principle, is suitable for continuous use in slightly to heavily polluted media – from channels and rivers to municipal wastewater and stormwater sewers – reliably detecting bidirectional flows as well as very low flow velocities from 0.02 m/s.
Q-Eye Radar combines a non-contact radar velocity and water level sensor into a particularly safe and low-maintenance system, ideally suited for highly contaminated media or challenging installation situations, as there is no contact with the wastewater and no sensor-related contamination or deposits occur. The velocity sensor emits a radar signal at an angle of approximately 55° to the water surface and determines the local flow velocity via the Doppler frequency shift between the emitted and reflected signals, while the height sensor at the same measuring point detects the water level. Based on these two values, and taking into account freely definable channel profiles, Q-Eye Radar precisely calculates the cross-sectional area and the total flow rate.
