RS600-1200 ADCP High Accuracy Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler
CHCNAV RS600-1200 ADCP High Accuracy Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler
CHCNAV RS600/1200 Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) is a high-precision instrument engineered for accurate water velocity profiling across diverse aquatic environments. Available in two models—RS600 and RS1200—this series offers unparalleled performance in both shallow and deep waters, making it an essential tool for hydrological surveys and water resource management.
Key Features:
-
Advanced 5-Beam Technology: The RS600/1200 ADCPs utilize a unique 5-beam configuration, including a central vertical beam operating at 300 kHz. This design enhances data accuracy by providing comprehensive water column measurements and precise bottom tracking, even in challenging conditions.
-
Versatile Measurement Capabilities: The RS1200 model excels in shallow waters, capable of collecting data in depths as low as 30 cm, while both models support measurements in depths up to 180 meters. This versatility ensures reliable performance across a wide range of hydrological applications, from small streams to large rivers.
-
Automated Measurement Mode: To streamline field operations, the RS600/1200 ADCPs feature a fully automated measurement mode, eliminating the need for manual configuration of flow parameters. This functionality enhances efficiency and reduces the potential for human error during data collection.
-
Enhanced Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Innovative hardware design significantly reduces noise levels, improving the signal-to-noise ratio by 5 dB. This enhancement leads to more accurate and reliable data, even in environments with high sediment concentrations or turbulent flows.
- Flexible Deployment Options: Designed for adaptability, the RS600/1200 ADCPs can be deployed on various platforms, including Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) like the CHCNAV Apache 4, trimarans, cable-towed systems, motorized survey vessels, and channel buoys. This flexibility allows for effective data collection in a multitude of survey scenarios.
