Introducing the HyQuant non-contact radar sensors
Affordable, compact, IP68-rated, SDI-12 non-contact water level sensors with <=2 mm accuracy & high efficiency power use
Deep knowledge
A thorough understanding of hydrological conditions
HyQuant provides the water level data needed to evaluate hydrological conditions of a catchment area – crucial for understanding water cycle and potential water management applications. It enables users to monitor and evaluate morphological changes in the waterbed to uphold safe usage of watercourses for shipping. Plus, it plays a key role in establishing and operating reporting and warning systems for events like floods and extreme low water conditions.
High accuracy
Real-time data for risk management
Non-contact and continuous monitoring of water level is critical – especially if you operate flood warning systems, forecast water supply, or rely on river shipping. HyQuant & its alarm settings quickly detect sudden changes in water level, helping to triage drainage or maintenance issues.
Efficient resource management
Integrated water resources management
Better understanding of water availability and quality empowers efficient & integrated water management. Achieve multiple-benefit water use encompassing drinking water, farm irrigation, hydropower, and environmental health.
Easy-to-install and maintain, cost-effective HyQuant sensors can be deployed in large numbers for data density. Precise location-specific insights can inform decisions about equitable access to scarce resources, improve risk management, and reduce costs.
HyQuant L
A most versatile and reliable non-contact level sensor for districts of all sizes
The use of frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) technology overcomes drawbacks from intermittent pulse technology.
The compact, lightweight, IP68-rated device has a narrow beam width and built-in filter algorithms for high precision data.
Available in two measuring ranges:
• HyQuant L 20: 0.32 – 65.61 ft
• HyQuant L 50: 0.49 – 164.04 ft
Why HyQuant L
- Deploy out of the box
Price includes mounting bracket, cable, and multiple comms/protocol choices (Modbus, SDI-12 & secure Wi-Fi). - Customizable filters adapt to diverse conditions
for higher accuracy and resolution. - One of the highest power efficiencies
15 mA (typical at 12V). - Reliable measurements also in flooded conditions
IP68 rating for dust, water and shock protection. - Lightweight, streamlined design
Simple installation, and less visible to potential vandals. - High quality data
<= 2 mm accuracy, stable over the full measurement range. - Ensured accuracy within the widest range
The shortest blanking distance available. - For both narrow and wide water bodies
- Special advantages over most level radars
Continuous FMCW measurement, not intermittent sensing common to water level radars.
