Non-contact radar wave sensor for continuous wave, direction, and tide monitoring.
WaveSense-R uses radar ranging and high-frequency pulse processing to measure sea-surface motion without contact, supporting stable wave and tide observations in harsh offshore conditions.
Radar measurement avoids water contact and reduces maintenance exposure.
Captures wave height, period, direction, and tide level in one system.
Supports RS232, RS485, and Ethernet for marine telemetry integration.
Covers coastal and offshore wave monitoring use cases.
Fast pulse interval supports stable sea-state processing.
Measures tide level with 0.03 m accuracy.
Integrated long-term data buffering for extended deployments.
Stainless-steel construction with IP67 protection.
Supports mounting heights up to 50 m.
WaveSense-R is a non-contact wave-measurement system designed for continuous operation in harsh marine environments. It uses radar waves to measure the distance to the sea surface and applies real-time wave-processing algorithms to output characteristic wave and tide values.
Because the sensing element remains above the water surface, WaveSense-R is well suited to exposed fixed platforms, buoys, and coastal installations where reduced fouling and lower mechanical wear are important operational advantages.
