Non-Contact Radar Flow Meter PHOENIX

The PHOENIX is a non-contact RADAR flow meter designed for rivers and large irrigation channels. It uses Doppler radar to measure surface velocity and level, then converts these measurements to calculate accurate flow rates over a wide range of conditions. Key features include a 32 degree opening angle for a full view of velocities, auto-diagnostic monitoring, and communication via RS-485 Modbus ASCII.
