Advanced Telemetry & Technical Performance Features
The Chaosensor CC-WV500 radar velocity meter leverages cutting-edge 24 GHz planar microwave Doppler radar technology to provide reliable, non-contact surface velocity tracking. This industrial-grade radar velocity meter avoids direct exposure to hazardous fluids, completely mitigating structural wear, chemical corrosion, and heavy sediment buildup. Equipped with an advanced IP68 waterproof heavy-duty housing, the CC-WV500 flow velocity sensor guarantees stable telemetry data transmission across a radical temperature span from -40°C up to 85°C.
For seamless industrial IoT network synchronization, this radar flow velocity sensor features a flexible RS-485 serial bus and standard MODBUS-RTU protocol architecture. System integrators can easily deploy optional 4-20mA current loop configurations to interface with regional PLC, SCADA, or remote edge-computing terminals. Built-in digital filtering algorithms effectively eliminate interference from wind, waves, and ambient environmental noises, ensuring supreme velocity measuring accuracy of ±1% under real-world fluid dynamics.
