Current Profilers

Nortek’s Signature1000 and Signature500 five-beam AD2CPs introduce a scientific powerhouse to the research community, providing an ideal platform for turbulence studies and Ice drift measurements, while also fulfilling standard current profiling needs. They are multipurpose broadband instruments offering great benefits in areas that could not be covered with existing ADCP’s.

• 16 Hz – faster sampling than with any other ADCP
• Provide four times the information as previous instruments sampling at 4Hz
• 5 beams – more data and information
• Allows for turbulence measurement and ice measurement capabilities
• Flexibility in Data collection. Multiple measurement modes.
• One instrument replaces several by offering concurrent or alternating measurements of currents, turbulence, waves and ice.
• Records all raw data
• Improve data quality by removing contamination from fish or other influences.
• Lightweight and Low power usage
• Nearly neutral buoyancy in water. 50% longer deployment time.
• NORTEK Blue light
• Ever wondered if your instrument has started? The NORTEK blue light will tell you

The self-contained Sentinel V is the first in a series of exciting, next-gen Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) to be released by Teledyne RD Instruments. Building upon the unparalleled success of our Workhorse ADCP products, our next generation V products offer a new level of features and versatility.

With profiling ranges from <1m to >150m and a 200m depth rating, the Sentinel V ADCP is ideally suited for a wide variety of coastal applications.

The lightweight and adaptable Sentinel V is easily deployed on buoys or mounted on the seafloor. Real-time data can be transmitted to shore via a cable link or acoustic modem, or data can be stored internally for short or long-term deployments. With a pressure sensor delivered standard in Sentinel V, this highly versatile tool can be easily upgraded via an electronic firmware update to calculate directional and non-directional wave parameters.

• Multiple simultaneous sampling strategies
• High-speed wireless data download
• Record every measurement
• 5 beams for data redundancy and enhanced measurements
• Off-the-shelf battery option
• Increased Portability
• Single digit start up
• Uninterrupted data collection
• Replaceable transducer pucks
• Flood resistant electronics chamber

The self-contained Sentinel is Teledyne RD Instruments’ most popular and versatile Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) configuration, boasting thousands of units in operation in over 50 countries around the world.

• 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.

By providing profiling ranges from 1 to 165m, the high-frequency Sentinel ADCP is ideally suited for a wide variety of applications. The Sentinel also offers unbeatable precision, with unmatched low power consumption, allowing you to collect more data over an extended period.

The lightweight and adaptable Sentinel is easily deployed on buoys, boats, or mounted on the seafloor. Real-time data can be transmitted to shore via a cable link or acoustic modem, or data can be stored internally for short or long-term deployments. The Sentinel is easily upgraded to include pressure, bottom tracking, and/or directional wave measurement—for the ultimate data collection solution.
