General 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.
