Water intake for drinking water systems is performed with open-air channels that transport water from the water source (sea, lake, river, dam) to the water plant, where it is processed to obtain drinking water. At this stage, flow monitoring in open channels is important to prevent overflows in the facility during heavy rainfalls, and also for logging and sharing flow data with authorities.
The Rosemount 1208 Series provides accurate and reliable level measurement and open channel flow calculations. The radar level transmitter has been designed to solve challenges in water and wastewater-, utilities- and basic chemical applications. The Rosemount 1208 uses continuous non-contacting radar technology in a compact PVDF housing with drinking water and food grade approvals. Its encapsulated design also withstands outdoor conditions and is fully submersible over extended periods of time. The Rosemount 1208 Series communicates via Bluetooth® wireless technology, 4-20 mA HART® or IO-link and has a broad range of mounting accessories, making it easily integrate into both new as well as existing systems..
