Open-channel non-contact Flow Monitoring (Weirs)
The Wildeye Open-channel Flow monitoring solution enables automated recording and viewing of flow rates in ditches & canals by measuring flow across weirs directly on your phone and in high resolution.
The package is designed for simple installation to many existing types of weir configurations with a high accuracy & maintenance-free operation.
Precisely measures the water level (stage) at a designated location upstream of the weir to compute flow using the weir's stage-discharge relationship. The weir’s ratings table is stored within the Wildeye software and automatically converts the water level height to flow rate and volume graphs.
The components are selected for their rugged waterproof construction to allow for long-life outdoor installation.
Connectivity is managed by the award-winning Wildeye 4G IoT telemetry device. Data is accessible through the Wildeye portal from where it can be viewed and exported. Scroll down to view complete Wildeye Reservoir & Pond Monitoring Package Specifications.


Solution Components:
High precision non-contact radar level sensor (0-10m +/- 5mm)
Solar panel with Wildeye mounting bracket
Outdoor 3dB Antenna, 5m extension for optional elevation
Installation
Installation requires 4G IoT signal is available at site, and the Wildeye phone app must be downloaded and used to capture data during the installation.
The radar sensor is mounted on a bracket (various types available) over-hanging the body of water, slightly upstream of the weir. The weir rating tables are uploaded to the Wildeye website, and flowrate is calculated.
Applications:
Irrigation ditches & canals
Weir Flow
Connectivity
Web-connectivity uses open-standard Cat-M1 or NB-IoT on 4G cellular networks.
Wildeye packages utilize telco-delivered cellular networks to avoid reliance on first-generation radio networks and technologies that are delivered and maintained by small businesses.
