WS-RAD-30 Radar Wave and Tide Gauge

Non-contact radar wave and tide gauge for platforms, shore stations, and harbour structures.

Output & Integration

RS232 RS485 Ethernet

Overview

The WaveSense WS-RAD-30 is a non-contact radar-based wave and tide gauge. A radar head mounted above the water provides continuous, stable measurement of wave height, period, direction, and tide level — well suited to platforms, jetties, and observation towers where in-water deployment is not desirable.

FAQ

Can Zenocean products be integrated with third-party monitoring platforms?

Yes. Many Zenocean products are offered with RS485, Modbus, NMEA, or project-specific communication options, making them suitable for integration into third-party acquisition and software environments.

Can you help recommend a sensor model based on the application?

Yes. Buyers can share the application, required parameters, output signal, environment, quantity, and installation conditions, and Zenocean can recommend suitable models or a system configuration.

Are documents available for export and project quotation?

Yes. Product catalogs, datasheets, communication guidance, and selection support can be prepared for export-oriented B2B discussions and project submissions.
