VX60 Surface Velocity Meter

Features

  • Contactless surface velocity measurement
  • 4D radar processing increases sensitivity while eliminating environmental disturbances
  • Robust, compact, IP68 aluminium or stainless steel enclosure
VX60 Surface Velocity Meter

Description

The VX60 employs advanced 4D radar processing that delivers superior performance compared to conventional Dopplerbased surface velocity radars. While traditional Doppler sensors are susceptible to measurement degradation from ambient interference, precipitation, and structural vibration, the VX60’s signal processing architecture ensures consistent, high-accuracy velocity measurements under all environmental conditions.

The radar operates in V-band (60 GHz) and provides flow speed readings over serial RS-232, RS-485 Modbus and SDI-12 interfaces. The instrument is compatible both with Geolux and 3rd part dataloggers. An integrated MEMS sensor provides the data for automatic tilt angle compensation.
