WaveSense-R
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.
Non-Contact Sensing
Radar measurement avoids water contact and reduces maintenance exposure.
Wave + Tide Output
Captures wave height, period, direction, and tide level in one system.
Platform Ready
Supports RS232, RS485, and Ethernet for marine telemetry integration.
0-30 m Wave Range
Covers coastal and offshore wave monitoring use cases.
0.25 s Sampling
Fast pulse interval supports stable sea-state processing.
Tide Monitoring
Measures tide level with 0.03 m accuracy.
32 GB Storage
Integrated long-term data buffering for extended deployments.
Marine Housing
Stainless-steel construction with IP67 protection.
Flexible Installation
Supports mounting heights up to 50 m.
Overview
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.
