Description
The Workhorse II Monitor is Teledyne RD Instruments most popular direct-reading Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler. The unit is typically bottom frame-mounted and hard-wired to shore to provide real-time monitoring of coastal currents. The Workhorse II Monitor’s high data accuracy and reliability make it a favorite for deployments in high-volume traffic areas such as ports and harbors, where the data is often integrated into a Vessel Traffic Monitoring System.
Beginning in 2023, the Workhorse II models replace the original Workhorse models and include several improvements. These include increased memory in compact flash card, compass with improved performance and specifications (especially at higher latitudes and tilt angles); and raw magnetometer data for use in postprocessing. In addition, a 200m pressure sensor and water modes LADCP, Ice Tracking, Mode 11 and Mode 12 come standard and are not required to be purchased.
Key Features
- Accuracy and reliability: The Monitor is ideally suited for the most demanding environments, including high traffic areas such as ports and harbors.
- Versatility: This direct reading unit can easily be upgraded to include external battery pack, bottom tracking, and directional wave measurement.
- Precision data: BroadBand signal processing delivers very low-noise data, resulting in unparalleled data resolution and minimal power consumption.
- A four-beam solution: 4-beam design improves data reliability, improves data quality, and improves data accuracy.
