offshore environment. The downward looking noncontact
sensor uses a
microwave radar technique to measure distance to the sea surface. Sampled
at high frequency, the radar pulses provide an exceptionally stable and
accurate measurement of sea surface profile. The microwave signals are very
low in power and present no safety hazard. Information is continuously
collected and processed to provide precision distance measurement outputs
to a data bus. Output values can be displayed and stored to industry
standards on a remote PC or may be interfaced to multiparameter
environmental monitoring systems. Output values can also be displayed on
an optional remote display unit, model RDU40.
WaveRadar Rex provides digital (RS232) and analogue (current loop) outputs
as standard with either AC (M) or DC (D) power options. The sensor is EEx
hazardous zone certified by baseEFA03ATEX, Underwriters Laboratory (UL)
and International Electrotechnical Commission (IECEx).
