As industrial automation and smart water management continue to develop rapidly, level, liquid level, and water level measurement instruments are evolving from traditional single-point measuring devices into intelligent sensing terminals. For applications such as hydrology, water management, wastewater treatment, municipal drainage, industrial small tanks, open channel water level monitoring, and simple material level measurement, users require not only accurate and stable measurement, but also easy installation, efficient commissioning, and low maintenance costs. In response to these field demands, Shenzhen Jiwei Automations Ltd. has launched the JWrada®-22 radar level meter. With 80GHz FMCW high-frequency radar technology, a compact structure, Bluetooth wireless commissioning, remote smart control, and a fully in-house developed software and algorithm ecosystem, the JWrada®-22 radar level meter provides industrial users with a level measurement solution that combines performance, intelligence, and cost-effectiveness.
The JWrada®-22 radar level meter is a compact intelligent radar instrument designed for water level, liquid level, and short-range simple solid level measurement. Based on 80GHz frequency modulated continuous wave radar technology, it uses non-contact measurement to capture echo signals from the material surface and calculates the level through high-speed signal processing algorithms. Compared with contact-type instruments, non-contact radar measurement does not require direct contact with the medium, reducing the impact of corrosion, adhesion, wear, contamination, and other factors on instrument service life and measurement stability. Compared with many traditional ultrasonic level meters, 80GHz high-frequency radar offers advantages in beam concentration, anti-interference capability, adaptability to complex environments, and long-term stability. It is especially suitable for hydrology, water management, wastewater and sewage treatment, drainage systems, reservoirs, gate stations, and small vessel applications that require continuous monitoring.
In terms of hardware design, the JWrada®-22 radar level meter continues Jiwei Automations’ product philosophy of making level measurement simple and reliable. Its compact size and highly integrated structure make it suitable for applications with limited installation space. In small tanks, channel edges, narrow brackets, or retrofit projects on existing equipment, installation space is often a key factor in product selection. With its compact design, the JWrada®-22 radar level meter can be deployed in confined spaces while reducing the amount of on-site modification required. The device also features a simple display interface, allowing field personnel to directly view measurement data and basic operating status. This makes inspection, installation confirmation, and quick commissioning more convenient. For projects involving multiple monitoring points, such as water management, municipal drainage, and distributed tank monitoring, this lightweight, easy-to-install, and easy-to-read design significantly improves field implementation efficiency.
In terms of performance, the JWrada®-22 radar level meter adopts 80GHz FMCW high-frequency radar technology and supports a maximum liquid level measurement range of up to 30 meters. It is suitable for rivers, open channels, wastewater pools, reservoirs, gate stations, small tanks, and simple material level applications. The narrow beam characteristics of high-frequency radar help reduce false echoes caused by tank walls, brackets, pipes, debris, and other obstacles, making the measurement signal more concentrated and reliable. In open water, drainage channels, and wastewater treatment pools, instruments often face challenges such as surface fluctuation, rain interference, surrounding structural reflection, and long-term unattended operation. By combining high-frequency radar hardware with intelligent signal processing algorithms, the JWrada®-22 helps users obtain more stable measurement output, providing reliable data for process control, level alarms, drainage warnings, and data acquisition systems.
Another important advantage of the JWrada®-22 is its built-in Bluetooth module and support for wireless commissioning. With traditional level instruments, field commissioning often requires handheld communicators, laptops, connection cables, or even opening the housing at elevated, wet, confined, or harsh locations. This not only reduces efficiency, but also increases operational risks. The JWrada®-22 can connect via Bluetooth to the JW Tools APP or Jiwei smart control tools. Field personnel can use smartphones or tablets to perform wireless Bluetooth commissioning, parameter configuration, device monitoring, and fast setup. Without frequent cover opening, complex wiring, or additional handheld tools, users can read device status, adjust parameters, and view operating data from a safe distance, greatly reducing the difficulty of on-site commissioning.
For engineering companies, system integrators, and operation and maintenance teams, the value of Bluetooth commissioning goes beyond convenience. It directly improves project delivery efficiency. When multiple radar level meters are installed in batches, engineers can quickly complete parameter setup, backup, and duplication through a mobile device, reducing repeated input and human error. When several measuring points share similar operating conditions, verified parameters can be copied to similar devices to achieve standardized commissioning. When measurement fluctuations or alarms occur on site, maintenance personnel can quickly connect to the device, view key parameters and diagnostic information, and shorten troubleshooting time. For monitoring points distributed across rivers, pumping stations, wastewater plants, industrial parks, and tank farms, this mobile wireless commissioning method greatly improves maintenance efficiency and user experience.
If 80GHz radar hardware forms the measurement foundation of the JWrada®-22, Jiwei Automations’ fully in-house developed software ecosystem represents one of its core competitive advantages. JWrada® series radar level transmitters support not only conventional parameter setup, but also firmware updates, on-site commissioning, parameter backup, device monitoring, diagnostic code viewing, remote debugging, and OTA online upgrades. Combined with the JW Tools APP and cloud platform, Jiwei engineers can remotely assist on-site personnel by monitoring and analyzing radar echo curves and EFT curves in real time. This enables more accurate identification of interference sources, echo quality, and device operating conditions.
In complex industrial environments, level measurement is not always as simple as measuring a distance. Agitators, feeding impact, tank wall buildup, foam, surface turbulence, bracket reflections, narrow spaces, and multiple echoes may all affect measurement stability. The JWrada®-22 is equipped with Jiwei’s independently developed echo learning intelligent adaptive algorithm, featuring false echo identification, multi-layer echo separation, and dynamic target tracking. By identifying and processing echo characteristics, the instrument can better distinguish true level echoes from interference echoes, improving measurement stability and long-term operational reliability. For applications with changing operating conditions, strong interference, or limited maintenance access, this intelligent algorithm helps reduce false alarms, data fluctuations, and maintenance costs.
It is worth noting that the JW Tools APP and cloud-based remote commissioning platform supporting the JWrada®-22 are not simply mobile tools, but a complete software service ecosystem. Field personnel can connect locally via Bluetooth, while engineers can provide remote support through the cloud platform. When a device experiences improper parameter settings, abnormal echoes, or site interference, Jiwei engineers can analyze real-time data, echo curves, and EFT curves remotely without repeatedly traveling to the site. They can assist users in parameter optimization, algorithm adjustment, and operating status verification. This “on-site Bluetooth connection plus cloud-based remote collaboration” transforms traditional commissioning, which often relies heavily on personal experience and repeated field trials, into a visualized, remote, and data-driven intelligent commissioning process.
In the domestic radar level meter market, only a limited number of manufacturers currently provide complete cloud-based remote commissioning, mobile intelligent maintenance tools, and independently developed algorithm optimization capabilities. Jiwei Automations deeply integrates software functions, cloud systems, Bluetooth communication, and radar measurement technology, making the JWrada®-22 not only a radar level transmitter, but also an intelligent measurement system that can be continuously upgraded, remotely maintained, and optimized according to actual site conditions. For users, this means the device can continue to be improved after delivery. For engineering projects, it means more efficient technical support throughout product selection, installation, commissioning, and long-term maintenance.
From an application perspective, the JWrada®-22 is especially suitable for water level measurement in hydrology and water management, including river level monitoring, open channel water level measurement, sewage and wastewater treatment, reservoir and gate station monitoring, municipal waterlogging prevention, and drainage system early warning. In these scenarios, measuring points are often widely distributed, environmental conditions are variable, maintenance frequency is low, and data continuity is highly important. Traditional manual inspection or measurement methods that are easily affected by the environment often struggle to meet the requirements of smart water management. With non-contact radar measurement, Bluetooth wireless commissioning, remote monitoring, and cloud-based collaboration, the JWrada®-22 helps users build a more stable, intelligent, and low-maintenance water level monitoring system.
At the same time, the JWrada®-22 is also suitable for simple industrial liquid level measurement and short-range material level applications. In fine chemicals, environmental protection equipment, food and beverage, machinery packages, small storage tanks, dosing tanks, and process vessels, limited space, fast level changes, and inconvenient commissioning positions are common challenges. Through its compact structure, simple display, Bluetooth commissioning, and intelligent algorithm, the JWrada®-22 can better adapt to these compact applications and provide users with a more stable and intelligent upgrade alternative to traditional ultrasonic level meters.
As industrial sites increasingly demand digitalization, intelligence, and remote maintenance, competition in level measurement instruments is shifting from single hardware specifications to comprehensive “hardware + software + service” capabilities. The JWrada®-22 radar level meter is a representative product launched by Jiwei Automations in response to this trend. It uses 80GHz high-frequency radar to ensure a strong measurement foundation, Bluetooth wireless commissioning to improve field efficiency, the JW Tools APP and cloud platform to enable remote collaboration, independently developed algorithms to ensure stable operation under complex conditions, and OTA upgrades and parameter optimization to extend the product life cycle.
Looking ahead, Jiwei Automations will continue to focus on real-world level measurement needs and promote deeper integration of radar level meters, intelligent commissioning platforms, cloud-based diagnostic systems, and independent algorithm technologies. The company is committed to providing more reliable, intelligent, and cost-effective liquid level and material level measurement solutions for water management, environmental protection, chemical processing, food and beverage, building materials, new energy, and many other industries. The launch of the JWrada®-22 radar level meter not only enriches the JWrada® product family, but also provides users with a new efficient choice for ultrasonic level meter replacement, smart water management upgrades, small tank level measurement, and distributed remote maintenance projects.
With its compact design, high-precision measurement, Bluetooth commissioning, remote smart control, OTA upgrades, and independent software ecosystem, the JWrada®-22 is redefining the intelligent standard for economical radar level meters. For users seeking stable measurement, fast deployment, and low-maintenance operation, the Jiwei JWrada®-22 radar level meter is not just an instrument.
