LX-80-15 10 Hz Oceanographic Radar Sensor
Sensor Height
The height of the instrument needs to be set above the water zero-level “gauge zero”. The instrument
will output relative measurement of the actual water level based on its height above the water zero-
level. Example: if the instrument is mounted exactly 5 metres above the gauge zero level, then this
parameter should be set to 5 metres. Then, if the instrument measures that the distance between the
instrument and the water is 4 metres, it will report that the water level is 1 metre, because the water is
1 metre above the gauge-zero level. For user convenience, this parameter can also be indirectly set by
inputting the current staff gauge reading.
Staff Gauge
Setting the sensor height relative to the measurement is done using staff gauge. The sensor will output
relative measurement of the actual water level based on its height above the riverbed.
