ChannelMaster
Category: Discharge Measurement - Sensors
-
Accurate: Teledyne RDI Broadband technology allows for small cells and/or short averaging sampling intervals, thus increasing your data accuracy.
-
Robust: Collect highly accurate velocities even in difficult environments such as slow flow or rapidly changing flow.
-
Versatile: ChannelMaster offers a range of 1-128 user-selectable cell sizes from 25 cm - 8 m and profiling ranges from 1 m - 300 m (frequency dependent).
-
Sturdy: Comes standard with stainless steel mounting fixture.
-
SDI-12 interface for connection to existing data loggers or remote data transmission systems
- All-in-one ADCP system for high-resolution and precise velocity profiling from 1 m to 30 0m ranges including an integrated ultrasonic vertical beam and a redundant pressure sensor for stage measurement
- Water level, flow velocity and discharge output via RS 232 interface (SDI-12 protocol) for connection to an external data logger (e.g. SEBA-NetlogCom)
- User-friendly software for site configuration (input of the cross-section, correction factors,… etc.)
- Robust and flexible bracket for easy installation and alignment of the ChannelMaster is optionally available with additional protection fixture
- Relatively low installation effort and expenditure, since the ChannelMaster is installed on only one side of the river/channel.
-
discharge, velocity and water level measurements in rivers, streams and canals
-
Measurement of complex currents for environmental monitoring
