Milesight EM410-RD4-868M: LoRaWAN® radar distance/level sensor with Internal Antenna
The EM41x-RDL is a contactless radar distance/level sensor that uses millimetre wave radar technology. By measuring millimetre wave signals at higher frequencies, it provides more stable performance over greater distances and is less sensitive to environmental factors. It can measure the distance between the sensor and various types of liquids, without being affected by temperature, dust, condensate, etc. With a waterproof and sealed housing according to IP68, it withstands the harshest environmental conditions while maintaining measurement accuracy, and requires no routine maintenance. It offers excellent resistance to corrosion and wear. There is a model that also complies with the ATEX (Zone 0) standards.
Milesight offers a LoRaWAN® version and a mobile version to meet various communication needs. The LoRaWAN® version can be integrated with the Milesight LoRaWAN® gateway and the Milesight Development Platform, enabling visual remote management of all sensor data. The mobile version supports multiple application modes to be compatible with IoT platforms.
The EM41x-RDL can be used in sewers, rivers, catchment reservoirs, storage tanks and environments with a high salt mist concentration (including seawater and brine with a high concentration), and other locations where distance and level need to be measured.
The precision specialist in measurements
- Intrinsically safe, ATEX Zone 0 certified (only EM411-RDL)
- Range up to 12 m with a narrow beam of 8°
- Accurate detection with millimetre wave radar
- Impressive IP68 rating
- Mode for application scenarios
- Long battery life: up to 7 years
- Easy configuration via NFC and Bluetooth
- Scenario-based automated calibration
Safe monitoring in hazardous environments
The EM411-RDL is designed to withstand explosive atmospheres and combines ATEX Zone 0 certification with a chemically resistant PVDF housing and a robust IP68 rating. This durable design ensures accurate monitoring and maintenance-free operation, even under aggressive conditions, effectively eliminating ignition risks and fully protecting personnel and critical assets.
*ATEX certification is only available for the model EM411-RDL.
Radar technology for customised applications
In addition to the large measurement range, radar technology can also measure through objects, including plastics and plants, and is less sensitive to snow, dirt, dust, steam, and the like, making it suitable for a wider range of applications.
