A SWELL WAY TO MEASURE WAVES Pressure sensors are a popular instrument for nearshore wave measurements. Obscape’s pressure-based Wave Gauge adds real-time data transfer and solar power into the mix, providing a very complete and convenient package for wave observations. With the pressure sensor mounted below the water surface and the data logger above, real-time wave observations in a harbour basin, at an offshore platform or at a shore-based pier or jetty become very convenient. Whether you are interested in improving navigational safety or wish to investigate the impact of waves on coastal morphology, Obscape’s pressure-based Wave Gauge suits your needs. KEY FEATURES • • • • Accurate wave data Industry-grade pressure sensor Maximum depth 5 m Real-time data Solar-powered Real-time data: 4G & 2G (upgradable to Satellite) Multiple mounting options Versatile data portal included CONVENIENT WAVE MONITORING Wave monitoring plays an important role in various fields of science and industry. The Wave Gauge is suitable for application whenever a fixed structure is available to mount the device to. This can either be a platform, pier, jetty, pole, bridge deck, etc. The instrument measures the wave-induced water pressure using an industry-grade pressure sensor. Internal processing algorithms based on linear wave theory will convert the pressure timeseries into non-directional wave spectra and bulk wave parameters, which are then sent across to the Obscape Data Portal and saved to the on-board SD card. SOLAR POWER, WIRELESS TELEMETRY The Obscape Pressure Wave Gauge is completely wireless because of the built-in 4G cellular modem. Therefore, the Wave Gauge is easy to install at any desired location within cellular coverage. It is advised to increase the device’s solar capacity by pairing it with Obscape’s 9W external solar panel, which plugs straight

VERSATILE DATA PORTAL The value of real-time observations strongly depends on the ability to view and analyse them in real-time. Therefore, the Wave Gauge comes with a license for the Obscape Data Portal. The data collected by your Wave Gauge, as well as the data from any other Obscape device you own, are collected into the Data Portal. The Data Portal offers various options for viewing, managing and downloading your water level data, including the generation of PDF reports. It is your ultimate tool to unify the office and the field. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS DATA SPECIFICATIONS PARAMETERS...
