Abstract
I. MCERTS Radar
VEGA WL 61 radar sensor and VEGAMET 391 controller are now MCERTS approved for open channel flow measurement
VEGA are proud to announce their radar-based system has gained Environment Agency of England & Wales (EA) Monitoring Certification Scheme (MCERTS) approval for open channel flow measurement. The MCERTS, overseen by the Environment Agency, ensures high quality; approved equipment is available to maintain reliable, accurate measurements by end users. Rigorous quality, performance and system tests are undertaken to attain this standard. Why use radar level? Because of its direct application benefits – a precise-level measurement is crucial on any OCF system, as the smallest errors are magnified through subsequent exponential flow calculations. Radar technology is immune to temperature (solar or air influenced), condensation, dirt or build up on transducers, wind or surface conditions, so a radar-based system can deliver a more reliable and accurate flow measurement.
II. New Radar Water-Level Sensor from £390
The new VEGAPULS WL S 61 contactless radar-level sensor is designed for applications in WTWs, STWs, pumping stations, CSOs, digesters, sludge tanks, open channel flow measurement and telemetry gauging stations. The very competitive price combines with globally proven success, as it joins the VEGAPULS WL61 water radar, which already has 40,000 units installed world-wide. Radar is an interesting technology for the water and environmental sector as it is unaffected by sun (temperature change) wind, fog or rain, surface turbulence, vapours, condensation, which means it is highly versatile and reliable.
VEGAPULS WL S 61 fully featured and an amazing price
This new fully featured ‘S’ version is loop-powered, has 5 mm accuracy, 8 m range and flexible mounting options. Its Bluetooth® set-up (via free iOS or Android App for smartphone or tablet) or PC (free Field Device Tool/Device Type Manager (FDT/DTM) download) provides easy, safe and convenient operation. IP 68 (2 bar) submersible housings with 12-m sealed cable offer robust protection. Utilising a 10° focused beam angle means it meets the latest EN Level Probing Radar (LPR) standard for open-air use.
One of VEGAPULS WL S 61 radar sensor is £460 – and £390 for 10+ units – all devices are fully featured, no additional accessories are required or no usage restrictions.
III. Bluetooth – Back to the Future!
As well as being standard on new water radars, Bluetooth can now be supplied as an option on all VEGA-level measurement technologies. It enables fast, safe and convenient set-up and asset management via smartphone, tablet or PC. That’s not all, due to the modular design of the unique plics® system, any level or pressure transmitter from this plics range supplied since launch in 2002 can be retro fitted with this latest in set-up and asset management communications. That’s Looking Forward!
