Velocity Radar
Non-contact open channel surface velocity measurement
OTT SVR 100 — Surface Velocity Radar
The OTT SVR 100 is the ideal sensor for collecting surface water velocity measurements without being installed in the water. Compact radar sensor with integrated SDI-12 interface. Provides data during floods or high suspended sediment events.
- Non-contact measurement — mounted above the water surface
- Ultra-compact mounting design with flexible angle of inclination (vertical or horizontal)
- Integrated SDI-12 interface (also SDI-12 over RS-485)
- Integrated vibration and tilt sensors — identifies data influenced by sensor movement
- Compatible with OTT Prodis 2 software for system calibration
- Safe from rising water levels and floating debris
- Reduces field visits and total cost of ownership
