Level measurement with 80 GHz RADAR for narrow and crowded shafts
The Senvolon RD ER level sensor complements our radar level sensors with a version for challenging installation situations. It measures with 80 GHz RADAR, the industry standard for level measurement, contactless and to the millimeter, down to 20 m. Sensor head and electronics are separate: only the compact sensor head (IP67) goes into the container. Its lens antenna focuses the radar signal into a measuring cone of ±3°, so it measures past walls, pipes, pumps and floats, even in narrow or crowded shafts. The electronics box (IP65) can be placed outside the cistern or tank via the 2 m cable, for example where Wi-Fi reception is best. The sensor shows all readings directly in your browser, no app or cloud required. In addition, it can be integrated into Home Assistant, ioBroker and other smart home systems via MQTT.
- Narrow measuring cone (±3°): measures past walls, pipes and fittings, even in narrow or crowded shafts
- IP67 sensor head: withstands even temporary submersion, for example in cisterns and tanks without overflow protection
- Flexible electronics box placement: up to 2 m from the sensor head, outside the container (IP65)
- Millimeter-accurate up to 20 m: 80 GHz RADAR with 1 mm resolution and MIN/MAX monitoring
- Unaffected by fog, dust & condensation: reliable even under difficult measuring conditions
- Local, no cloud required: all readings directly in your browser, plus MQTT for Home Assistant, ioBroker & co.
For difficult reception conditions, the RD ER is also available with an external Wi-Fi antenna connector (RP-SMA) on the electronics box, optionally as a set with a matching 2.4 GHz antenna.

Installation and integration
Smart Home Integration
Easy integration into common smart home solutions such as Home Assistant, OpenHAB, ioBroker or Node-RED via MQTT. Also supports MQTT Discovery for Home Assistant.
Web browser/HTTP API
Direct access and configuration via web browser. Additionally: retrieval of readings in JSON format via HTTP is possible.
Optional Remote Access
Cloud service enables worldwide access to real-time data over the internet. Web app for iOS and Android is available, activation of push notifications possible.
Switching signal output
Has an internal switching signal output for automatic control of pumps, alarms or notifications (controlled by the MIN/MAX monitoring).
Installation
The sensor head is mounted inside the container, vertically above the surface with a clear view downwards; the stainless steel mounting bracket is included. The electronics box sits up to 2 m away, for example outside the shaft. Initial setup requires sufficient Wi-Fi coverage at the electronics box.
