Doppler Current Sensor

Doppler Current Sensor (DCS)

The AADI Doppler Current Sensors are based on the backscatter acoustic Doppler principle. The latest developed DCS are using ZPulse^® technology. Complex acoustic pulses comprising several distinct frequencies are combined into a single acoustic pulse that is sent out in right angles at regular
intervals.

The ZPulse^® based DCS separates the received signal into different frequency bands, one for each frequency in the transmitted signal.

  Available Doppler Current Sensors:

• ZPulse® Doppler Current Sensor 4420/4520/4830/4930  is designed to be mounted on the Seaguard® Platform using AiCaP, CAN-bus based interface or as stand-alone sensor using RS-232 or RS-422 for the R-version. Depth range 300m/6000m.

• In-line Doppler Current Sensor 4100/4100R may be used with the AADI datalogger as well as third party dataloggers. Depth range 300m.
