    Acoustic Doppler Current

    Profiler (ADCP)
    Overview
    The most accurate and reliable Real-Time Monitoring Systems in the world
    base their Data Collection Platforms on Sutrons Xpert Datalogger Series.
    With custom RDI drivers, theyre designed precisely to handle any Real-Time
    ADCP Application. And, theyre manufactured in the USA to strict ISO 9001
    standards.
    ADCP Intelligent River System
    Go straight to work collecting highly accurate stream and river discharge
    data with the RIVERRAY ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler). This
    economical turnkey system comes complete with: the RiverRay ADCP, a
    custom-designed boat, user-friendly software, and convenient wireless
    communicationeverything you need to begin making precision river
    discharge measurements.
    RiverRay is the culmination of years of technology advances and
    invaluable customer feedback. From a shallow stream to a raging river, this
    revolutionary ADCP delivers the simplicity and reliability your operations
    require, at a price that wont break your budget.

    Features

    Ease of use: Easy to carry, easy to deploy, and easy to operate; just
    power and go.

    Intelligent: Automatic adaptive sampling based on flow conditions


    continuously optimizes your discharge measurement from bank to
    bank, thus ensuring the highest quality data without your intervention.

    Flat transducer: The sleek phased array transducer design provides


    reduced size, weight, and flow disturbance.

    Versatile: A single instrument can deliver high quality data in


    environments ranging from a 0.4m stream to a 60m deep river.

    Superior surface measurements: Interwoven independent and short


    range measurements improve the discharge computation in your critical
    surface layer.

    Platform stability: RiverRays float boasts reduced drag, causes less


    flow disturbance, and provides superior handling even in high water
    velocities and rough surface.

    No cables required: Data is wirelessly transmitted to your shore station


    via BluetoothTM technology.

    DGPS compatible: Integrate an external DGPS for difficult conditions,


    such as moving beds.

    The RiverRay ADCP utilizes a flat surface 4-beam phased-array


    transducer. A dedicated fifth beam is used to measure depth.
