Meet the Level Gauge PTM
Obscape’s Level Gauge PTM delivers real-time water level measurements. It records the water level using a highly accurate radar sensor. Since the instrument is mounted above the water surface, deploying it in the field is easy.
Whether you are interested in tidal water level variations, stormwater runoff or storage basin volumes, the Obscape Level Gauge will suit your needs
The Level Gauge is suitable for application in natural as well as man-made water systems. Whether you are interested in tidal water level variations, stormwater runoff or storage basin volumes, the Obscape Level Gauge will suit your needs.
The Level Gauge measures the distance to the water surface using an industry-standard radar sensor. It is mounted above the water surface, which avoids costly and labour-intensive underwater operations. The 40 meter range of the Level Gauge will cover even the most extreme water level variations.
