MDS-ADCP Series Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler

-Overview-

This series of acoustic Doppler current profilers (direct reading/self-contained ADCP) covers three operating frequencies: 600kHz, 300kHz, and 75kHz, suitable for the measurement needs of different water depths and current profiles. The products are benchmarked against top international equipment, featuring high precision, high reliability, and compact size. They offer continuous operating time of at least 100 days, are compatible with protocols from TRDI and other similar products, and are easy to operate, supporting power-on operation or automatic operation in preset modes. The 600kHz model is suitable for shallow to medium water environments, with a maximum bottom tracking depth of 120m and a current profile range of 70m; the 300kHz model balances medium water depths with a larger range, a bottom tracking depth of 220m, and a profile range of 160m; the 75kHz model is designed for deep-water applications, with a maximum bottom tracking depth of 1000m and a profile range of 650m. 

 All models use titanium alloy bodies and offer multiple pressure resistance ratings of 1000m, 3000m, and 6000m, adapting to working conditions from shallow to full ocean depths. The product boasts high flow measurement accuracy, with a flow velocity resolution of up to 1 mm/s, and integrates attitude, temperature, and pressure sensors. It features an RS232 or 422 serial interface, a wide power supply range, low average power consumption, and outstanding overall cost-effectiveness, making it a reliable choice for marine hydrological monitoring, engineering surveys, and scientific research.

-Features&Benefits-

1.  Performance & Reliability
Benchmarked against top-tier international ADCPs, this product can directly replace imported equipment. Its measurement accuracy and reliability are comparable to leading foreign models, enabling independent and controllable marine observation solutions.
2.  Compact & Lightweight Design
With a much smaller footprint than international equivalents, it weighs as little as several kilograms in air. This makes it ideal for integration on unmanned platforms or submersibles, significantly simplifying deployment and recovery operations.
3.  User-Friendly Operation
Compatible with major industry protocols (e.g., TRDI), it supports plug-and-play or pre-configured automatic operation. No complex on-site setup is required, resulting in a low barrier to entry for users.

4.  Wide Application Range
Available in 600 kHz, 300 kHz, and 75 kHz frequencies with multiple pressure ratings. It is suitable for use from shallow coastal waters to full ocean depth, meeting velocity profile measurement needs across different environments.
5.  Integrated & Low-Power System
Integrated with attitude, temperature, and pressure sensors, it features standard data interfaces. With average power consumption as low as 10 watts, it offers low energy use and high system stability during long-term continuous operation.
6.  Cost-Effective Solution
Delivering high measurement accuracy and fine resolution at a competitive price point, it provides users with a reliable and cost-effective solution for ocean current profiling.
