The AWP-24-2 capacitance wave height gauge was introduced to the market in late 2012 and has since been superseded by the AWP-24-3. The AWP-24-2 is ideally suited for indoor and outdoor applications where high accuracy water level measurement is required and for unidirectional and multidirectional wave measurement. It provides an accurate, highly responsive measure of depth changes from sub-millimeter to meters. It comes in a rugged die-cast aluminium alloy enclosure that allows it to be deployed indoors or outdoors.
The output stage of the AWP-24-2 includes a 16-bit digital-to-analogue converter. This provides a high-level +/- 5 volt analogue output signal that can be sampled using conventional data acquisition systems.
The AWP-24-2 combines temperature stable electronics and a high quality Wave Probe Head. This results in extremely small calibration slope changes over temperature, making frequent calibrations redundant.
All Akamina Wave Height Gauges:
- are designed to monitor waves in hydraulic models and ship tanks
- are designed to measure water level changes from sub-millimeter to meters
- can be used to measure multidirectional waves and water surface geometry
- are designed to elimate interference between wave height gauges and other instrumentation
- can be used for use in indoor and outdoor, and freshwater and salt water applications
- are the only wave height gauges on the market to use purely digital techniques to measure capacitance
- are designed to be easy to use
- provides guaranteed linearity and accuracy over a wide range of water and ambient temperatures.
No dials to turn or jumpers to set. Configure and start measuring with the push of a button- no electrical interference with other probes or instrumentation
- measures capacitance digitally with no energy discharge into the water
- highly linear (0.15% over the measurement range)
- fast response time (the output is updated every 5 ms.)
- low power consumption (draws only 16 mA of current at 10 volts)
- filtered analogue signal output for data capture
- highly responsive measure of depth changes from sub-millimeter to meters
- guaranteed linearity and accuracy over wide range of water and ambient temperatures
- can be used in both fresh water and salt water
- rugged, die-cast aluminum, weatherproof enclosure
- easily configured by pushing a button. No dials to turn or jumpers to set.
- less frequent calibrations required due to temperature stable electronics and probe head
