Description

The Sentinel V is Teledye RDI’s next-gen family of Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs). Building upon the unparalleled success of our Workhorse ADCP products, our next generation V products offer a new level of features and versatility. With profiling ranges from 150 m and a 200 depth rating, the Sentinel V ADCP is ideally suited for a wide variety of coastal and upper ocean applications. The lightweight and adaptable Sentinel V is easily deployed on buoys or mounted on the seafloor. Real-time data can be transmitted to shore via a cable link or acoustic modem, or data can be stored internally for short or long-term deployments. With a pressure sensor delivered standard in Sentinel V, this highly versatile tool can be easily upgraded via an electronic firmware update to calculate directional and non-directional wave parameters. Our real-time Sentinel V can also be upgraded to include bottom track for your vessel-mounted applications.
