Teledyne RiverPro ADCP

The RiverPro 5 beam ADCP is an intelligent river discharge measurement system, and the newest member of the Teledyne RD Instruments ADCP range for inland water resources applications. The 1200 kHz RiverPro has been purpose-built to fill two specific needs: 1. to provide an ADCP designed specifically for shallow river applications (20 cm to 25 m range); and 2. to provide an upgrade path for Teledyne’s current industry gold standard Rio Grande ADCP users. Like Teledyne’s next generation RiverRay ADCP (for shallow to deep rivers 40 cm – 60 m), the RiverPro offers users a 5 beam solution, auto-adaptive sampling, user-friendly interface, and Teledyne RDI’s unsurpassed quality, service, and support.

Features of the RiverPro system include a 20° beam, allowing users to collect data closer to the bottom; a 600 kHz 5th beam collecting true vertical velocity with a calibrated RSSI (return signal strength indicator) and range to bottom; fully integrated GPS for georeferencing; auto-adaptive sampling, which quickly provides accurate discharge measurements without the need for user configuration; a manual override, which allows advanced users to fully customise their system setting as an alternative to auto-adaptive sampling; and a three hull, polyethylene float.
