Sentinel:
300 kHz - 600 kHz - 1200 kHz
Mounted at a fixed location for self contained operation (internal
memory and alkaline battery pack). Records data internally during
6-12 month duration. (sometimes used as a backup for a real-time
link) ; Windows-based software for planning, deployment, recovery,
data display.
For over twenty years, Teledyne RD Instruments has been the preeminent
supplier of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling (ADCP) instrumentation for
open ocean applications. RDI’s vessel-mounted Ocean Surveyor family of ADCPs
continues to raise the bar, collecting detailed maps of the distribution of
water currents and suspended materials through the water column and along
the ship’s path—at depths and resolutions previously considered
unattainable. In real time, the ADCP is also used to aid in situ
decision-making, to adapt field operations, and to understand current regime
characteristics.
- Versatility: Direct reading
or self contained, moored or moving, the Sentinel provides precision current
profiling data when and where you need it most.
- A solid upgrade path: The
Sentinel has been designed to grow with your needs. Easy upgrades include
pressure, bottom tracking, and directional wave measurement.
- Precision data: Teledyne
RDI’s patented BroadBand signal processing delivers very low-noise data,
resulting in unparalleled data resolution and minimal power consumption.
- A four-beam solution:
Teledyne RDI’s patented 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.
- Budget an issue? This product is available in our new
value priced basic Express Configuration. Same broadband quality, with basic
current profiling capabilities

Monitor:
300 kHz - 600 kHz - 1200 kHz
Mounted at a fixed location for acquiring and displaying data in real-time; Available in 3 frequencies varying from 15m to 100m reach for measuring water currents; uses direct cable connection to external power supply and PC computer and operation at great depth.
The Monitor is Teledyne RD Instruments’ most popular direct-reading Acoustic
Doppler Current Profiler. 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.
- 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!

Mariner: 300 kHz - 600 kHz - 1200 kHz
Researchers and commercial surveyors working in coastal waters saw what
RDI's best-selling Sentinel instrument could do. So they asked for a
version for underway current profiling from inshore hydrographic survey
vessels. Mariner is the result. It gives fine along-track resolution thanks
to RDI’s superior low-noise data, including bottom tracking. And it’s easily
teamed with the vessel’s DGPS input to integrate ADCP readings with precise
position information.

Ocean Surveyor: 38 kHz - 75 kHz - 150 kHz
The Ocean Surveyor family of ADCPs adds a new chapter to RDI's unique contribution to the worldwide open-ocean research fleet. More than 250 vessel-mounted ADCPs have been installed around the world. These ADCPs provide detailed maps of the distribution of water currents and suspended materials through the water column and along the ship's path. In real time, the ADCP is also used to aid in-situ decision making, to adapt field operations, and to understand current regime characteristics.

Ocean Observer: 38 kHz - 75 kHz - 150 kHz
RDI dominates the offshore oil and gas sector with field-proven instruments designed to facilitate exploration drilling, field development and production. RDI acoustic Doppler systems and software have been chosen by the majority of offshore operators worldwide to support their exploration drilling programs. This support is provided for station-holding, riser deployment and monitoring, ROV operations and marine operations - and the data is all gathered and displayed in real time to enable crucial operational decisions to be made. The user selects between RDI's high resolution or long range settings for the greatest flexibility in operation.

Horizontal ADCP
(H-ADCP):
300 kHz - 600 kHz
Mounted at a fixed location looking across the flow, to give an
ongoing horizontal profile of 1 to 128 independent measurements, depending
on user choices. Excellent range and resolution are combined in one
instrument. As always, RDI's strict engineering standards result in delivery
of the highest quality data from a robust package.

Long Range
Horizontal ADCP (H-ADCP): 300 kHz
Same proven technology, now applied to the deep water
environment. The new 300 kHz Long Range Horizontal ADCP (H-ADCP) is an
acoustic monitoring system that "looks" out horizontally up to 300
meters from a rig, other offshore structure, or vessel to measure near
surface water currents.
