Description
With Pinnacle 45, TRDI continues its rightful place as the leader in deep water current profiling technology.
Building upon the tremendous 20-year success of their industry-standard Long Ranger ADCP, the Pinnacle ADCP 45 carries the technology and capability to new heights, for both research and operational applications.
Rated to a depth of 2000 m, the 45 kHz phased array Pinnacle ADCP delivers a 1000 m current profiling range with a decreased size and weight, a game-changing swappable configuration, and a long list of impressive new features and product enhancements.
Key Features
- Swappable Configuration: Convert from self-contained to real-time without an additional purchase
- Deep Water Profiling: up to 1000m, rated to 2000m depth.
- Phased Array: 20° phased array transducer reduces size and weight and decreases missing data
- Versatile: Deployable from offshore platforms; moving boats; or seafloor, subsurface or surface buoys
- Easy Data Access: Redundant MicroSD memory cards for added data security—one resides in the electronics for data download and another in the battery compartment allowing for easy data access.
- Advanced Monitoring: Health monitoring and leak detection provide users with the peace of mind that their system is operating as intended.
- Adaptable: Independent or interlaced long range and high-resolution modes allow users to optimize their system for unique deployment requirements, at ranges of up to 1000m, offering the best of both worlds in a single instrument.
Additional Features
- Continuous Sampling: The Pinnacle ADCP’s 4 beams ping simultaneously (as opposed to individually), allowing for simultaneous sampling of a 1000m current profile.
- Compass Enhancements: Pinnacle includes both heading field calibration and magnetometer data, allowing you to utilize either or both and to turn your mooring faster.
- Deployment Status Indicator: External LED light ensures you know the system is operational when deployed.
- Increased Data: 20° phased-array beam allows you to measure within 6% of range to surface (air/sea or bottom), closing the gap on missed data.
- Rugged and Robust: Independent main electronics housing and battery compartment and a no metal in contact with the water designed housing and transducer limit the risk of damage from leaks.
- Long Life: Alkaline or lithium battery compatible, with 18-month deployment durations possible on 4 Li batteries.
- Versatile: Collect stored or real-time data from stationary or moving platforms, including rigs, vessels and moorings.
- Mooring Compatibility: The Pinnacle ADCP’s hardware fits into most existing mooring designs offered by key manufacturers.
