Radar Wave & Water Level Monitoring System
Radar Wave & Water Level Monitoring Sensor
Frankstar Radar Wave & Water Level Monitoring Sensor is a high-precision, non-contact monitoring device specially developed for marine hydrological environments. Adopting 26GHz radar measurement technology, this radar wave sensor supports all-weather unattended real-time monitoring of wave height, wave period and water level. It works stably under severe meteorological and sea conditions, widely used for offshore wind farms, port waterways, marine engineering and coastal environmental monitoring. Supporting remote data transmission and platform integration, it delivers powerful data visualization and analysis functions to provide reliable hydrological data for marine safety management and oceanographic research.
Key Features
High-Precision Non-Contact Measurement
Adopts 26GHz linear sweep radar technology. Accuracy reaches ±3mm within 50m measuring range. No direct contact with seawater, no regular on-site calibration required, effectively avoiding corrosion and biological adhesion troubles.
All-Weather Stable Operation
IP67 protection grade, wide operating temperature range of -40°C ~ +70°C. Excellent resistance to water, corrosion and ice, adapting to high-humidity, salt-laden harsh marine environments.
Multi-Parameter Intelligent Output
Output up to 14 groups of wave and tidal parameters in real time, including significant wave height, spectral peak period, average water level, maximum wave height and other critical sea state data.
Plug-and-Play Easy Deployment
Highly integrated compact structure for simple installation. Supports solar power supply and DC power input, the ideal sensor solution for long-term unattended hydrological monitoring stations.

Application Scenarios
Frankstar Radar Wave & Water Level Monitoring Sensor is widely applied in offshore wind farm monitoring, port and waterway hydrological observation, coastal environmental monitoring, marine engineering survey, flood early warning systems and oceanographic scientific research. As a non-contact radar wave sensor, it avoids mechanical abrasion and marine organism attachment problems, delivering long-term stable wave height and water level data for shore-based platforms, observation towers and fixed monitoring stations.
Product Advantages
Different from inertial wave sensors deployed on buoys, this radar wave level sensor adopts shore fixed installation without floating platform support. The non-contact measuring mode reduces maintenance costs significantly. Low power consumption supports solar-powered off-grid monitoring stations. Multiple optional communication interfaces make it easy to connect with data loggers, cloud platforms and existing hydrological monitoring systems.
