KH.LDX Non Contact Radar Current Meter for River Flow Monitoring Flood Early Warning and Hydrological Measurement
High Precision Radar Flow Velocity Sensor for Smart Water Management Flood Control and Open Channel Monitoring
Product Introduction (pdf)
Product Introduction
The KH.LDX Non Contact Radar Current Meter is a high precision flow velocity monitoring sensor designed for hydrological monitoring, river flow measurement, flood early warning, and smart water management systems. Using advanced microwave radar technology, the device measures surface flow velocity without contacting the water, ensuring stable and reliable performance even in harsh outdoor environments.
Compared with traditional contact flow meters, radar technology eliminates interference from sediment, floating debris, vegetation, turbulence, and water pollution, making it ideal for long term unattended monitoring in rivers, irrigation channels, drainage systems, and urban flood control projects.
The KH.LDX integrates a microstrip radar antenna, high performance RF circuit, and intelligent signal processing unit, providing accurate real time data for hydrological stations, telemetry pole stations, and IoT based environmental monitoring networks.
