The Sommer RQ-30 incorporates both a Radar Level Sensor and a Radar Velocity Sensor in one compact enclosure. These two radar sensors simultaneously and continuously measure water level and velocity. Using this continuous data plus cross-section information stored in the RQ-30, the RQ-30 is able to compute and output Discharge Data in real time and from the moment it is activated.
With the advanced ability to provide discharge data from the moment it is deployed, the RQ-30 begins to gather data at an unprecedented rate, not only providing accurate real-time level, velocity and discharge data, but laying the foundation for its advanced 'Machine Learning' feature to kick in. This ability to continuously measure level and velocity AND compute flow in real time, fires up the advanced pattern recognition feature of the RQ-30, accelerating the building of a highly reliable internal rating curve.
