Model DCPS 5400/5402/5403/5400P, DCS 4420/4520/4830/4930, In-line ZPulse DCS 5800/5810

Stand-alone profiling and single-point Doppler current sensors, including in-line ZPulse versions, with depth ratings up to 6000 m.

Description

Aanderaa Doppler current sensors are available in profiling and single-point versions for integration in Aanderaa dataloggers, buoys and third-party systems. Outputs include AiCaP, RS-232 and RS-422.

Key features

  • Doppler Current Profiler Sensor (DCPS): medium-range 600 kHz smart sensor with integrated tilt and movement compensation for buoys and moving platforms; models 5400 (300 m), 5402 (4500 m) and 5403 (6000 m)
  • DCPS 5400P: adds an integrated pressure unit for acoustic wave measurements
  • Doppler Current Sensor (DCS): rugged true vector averaging sensor with built-in compass and tilt sensor, speed range 0 to 300 cm/s; ZPulse multi-frequency models use half the power of previous models
  • In-line ZPulse DCS 5800/5810: integrates into combined mooring and signal cables and can hold a load of up to 1300 kg

Applications

Current measurement on buoys, moorings, sensor strings and moving platforms for oceanography, offshore and coastal monitoring.
