[ALSONIC-RAVM]
SmartMeasurement’s ALSONIC RAVM-MC is a combined radar velocity and level transducer used
with our multi-channel controller (MC) which may include a number radar velocity (VS) transducers
providing a true non-intrusive approach to open channel area velocity measurement in channels
having widths of up to 500 m. The Alsonic-RAVM-MC can also be configured with up to 32 standalone
radar velocity (VS) and/or velocity/level (VL) transducers in series in order to accurately profile
large open channel systems (please see diagram on page 2.) The system is designed for continuous
non-intrusive flow measurement of rivers, streams, municipal wastewater, and storm water channels.
Users can also install a number of radar velocity (VS) transducers in combination with our radar
level transducers (RL) which provides the same measurement as the combined VL/VS system. For
channel widths of up to 10 meters, a cost-effective single channel system (SC) is recommended. The
ALSONIC RAVM-MC requires a multichannel controller with configuration software and MODBUS
output to be configured in the control room on a standalone PC. MODBUS data includes flow, velocity,
and height as well as sensor diagnostics. In applications where users want to install another
level measurement technology (other than radar), either a single or multiple ALSONIC radar velocity
transducers can be used for velocity profiling across the channel in combination with the level transducer
by sending the outputs to our multichannel controller (MC) to perform the Area • Velocity flow
calculation.
