SCHEDULE DEMO- SmartPulse+ utilizes Pulse-coherent and Broadband acoustic profiling that automatically adjusts based on conditions
- Vertical acoustic beam for the most accurate channel cross-sectional area in discharge applications
- Batteries and Bluetooth radio are housed in the RS5, eliminating external electric boxes
Vertical Acoustic Beam
Superior channel definition for the most accurate cross-sectional area for discharge applications. Measures the depth directly under the system and extends maximum discharge depth if bottom-tracking is out of range. 360º compass and two-axis tilt sensor
SmartPulse+
An intelligent algorithm utilizing Pulse-coherent and Broadband acoustic profiling that automatically adjusts based on conditions—reliable bottom tracking and velocity profiling in water depths shallower than ever. Visualize velocity data like never before with cell sizes down to 2.5 cm.
360º Compass and Two-Axis Tilt Sensor
Reports vessel heading and magnetic error and compensates for motion due to surface conditions. The tilt sensor uses pitch and roll to correct depth and velocities.
DGNSS (Option)
Integrated DGNSS smart antenna for position as a backup or alternative to bottom tracking in moving bed or other challenging conditions.
RTK GPS (Option)
Ultra-precise positioning as an alternative to bottom tracking in moving beds or other difficult situations. Geolocate each sample (or ensemble) during measurement. Corrections are sent from the SonTek RTK base station or a local NTRIP.
