Description
The MONITOR is Teledyne RD Instruments’ most popular direct-reading Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP). The unit is typically bottom frame-mounted and hard-wired to shore to provide real-time monitoring of coastal currents. The Monitor’s high data accuracy and reliability make it a favorite for deployments in high-volume traffic areas such as ports and harbors, where the data is often integrated into a Vessel Traffic Monitoring System. In fact, the Monitor has been selected for most major port programs undertaken in the United States. The Monitor offers a choice of three frequencies and ranges, to meet a wide array of data requirements. The unit also offers a flexible upgrade path, which includes an external battery pack, pressure sensor, bottom tracking capability for moving boat applications, and directional wave measurement.
Product Features:
• Extreme accuracy and reliability: The Monitor is ideally suited for the most demanding environments, including high traffic areas such as ports and harbors.
• Versatility: This direct reading unit can easily be upgraded to tackle a wide variety of coastal applications. Typical upgrades include pressure sensor, external battery pack, bottom tracking, and directional wave measurement—a single instrument can do it all!
• Precision data: Teledyne RDI’s Broadband signal processing delivers very low-noise data, resulting in unparalleled data resolution and minimal power consumption.
• A four-beam solution: Teledyne RDI’s 4-beam design improves data reliability by providing a redundant data source in the case of a blocked or damaged beam; improves data quality by delivering an independent measure known as error velocity; and improves data accuracy by reducing variance in your data.
