Nortek Aquadopp Profiler

The 3D profiler of Nortek measures the current profile in water using acoustic Doppler technology(ADCP). It is designed for a wide range of applications and can be deployed on the bottom, on a mooring rig, buoy or on any other fixed structure.

There are different measureheads available. Additionally to the flowsensors there are each 1 temperature-, tendency-, pressuresensor and a compass integrated. It is a complete system and includes all parts required for a self contained deployment with data stored to an internal data logger. This logger has a RS232 or a RS422 connector for datatransfer. The user-friendly software Aquapro can do the parameterization, measurement and data conversion.
