Doppler Radar – 3S-Doppler
The Doppler Radar serves as a tool to accurately measures the speed of various condensed water forms such as rain, freezing rain, hail, snow, and sleet. Its low-energy sensor efficiently detects precipitation right from the initial drop. With extensive applications across hydrology, water management, agricultural sciences, environmental studies, building automation, meteorology, airport operations, and traffic control, the radar's capabilities are virtually boundless.
This advanced rain gauge is capable of measuring precipitation across diverse global locations. All meteorological data collected is seamlessly transmitted to dataloggers and receiver units through a 2-wire RS485 bus utilizing the Modbus RTU protocol.
The doppler radar features radar technology and adjustable heating. The low-energy sensor effectively detects precipitation from the first drop. Doppler Radar is a device that precisely measures various forms of condensed water, including rain, freezing rain, hail, snow, and sleet.
This advanced precipitation meter measures precipitation rates in different regions of the world. All meteorological data is seamlessly transmitted to data loggers and instrument units via the Modbus RTU protocol over a 2-wire RS485 bus.
