Oceanographic Radar Sensor (LX80-0)
Radar Level Sensor for Tidal and Wave Monitoring
The Geolux LX80-O Oceanographic Radar Sensor is a compact, non-contact radar sensor designed for accurate measurement of tidal sea levels and wave parameters from coastal and offshore structures. With high-speed 10 Hz sampling, it provides reliable real-time wave analysis while requiring minimal maintenance due to its contact-free operation.
