Description
Geolux LX-80-AB water level measurement kit
The Geolux LX-80-AB Water Level Measurement Kit delivers accurate, non-contact water level monitoring using advanced radar technology. Designed for aerial deployment, it measures the distance from the sensor to the water surface with centimeter-level precision. Furthermore, the system operates reliably at autonomous flight altitudes of 30–40 m along rivers and channels, producing detailed elevation profiles that aid in hydrology and environmental analysis.
This comprehensive kit includes the radar sensor, connection cable, gimbal, mountings, and data logging software. However, it requires a SkyHub onboard computer to record and geotag sensor data during flight. Moreover, the compact design and rugged hardware make it suitable for long-term field use. Overall, this kit offers surveyors, engineers, and environmental professionals a powerful solution for efficient and accurate water level measurement from the air.
Key Features:
- Contactless radar water level measurement with 80 GHz W-band RF.
- Provides centimeter-accurate surface elevation profiles from the air.
- Ideal for rivers, lakes, reservoirs, channels, irrigation, and industrial fluids.
- Includes sensor, cable, gimbal, mounting hardware, and software.
- Works with SkyHub onboard computer for data logging and GPS georeferencing.
- Designed for UAV integration including DJI M350/M300 RTK and Pixhawk drones.
Overview
The Geolux LX-80-AB water level sensor uses radar technology to provide a precise contactless measurement of the distance from the sensor to the water level. This functionality is achieved by transmitting a frequency-modulated electromagnetic (radio) wave in the 80 GHz frequency range (W band) and measuring the frequency shift between the transmitted wave and the electromagnetic wave reflected from the water surface.
The radar sensor can be flown in autonomous mode at an altitude of 30-40 meters along the river and provides water surface elevation profiles with centimeter accuracy. Because water is an excellent reflector of microwaves, the radar return will be dominated by water targets. If there are any water surfaces within the footprint of the sensor, those will dominate the return signal.
Typical applications:
- Water level monitoring for rivers, channels, and lakes
- Water reservoir monitoring and irrigation control
- Observing the level of various fluids in the chemical industry
- Monitoring levels in wastewater, industrial applications
Kit requires the SkyHub onboard computer to log the data.
