The Doppler Current Profiler Sensor (DCPS) is a medium range, 600kHz current profiler smart sensor,Oceanographic research,Offshore / Oil & Gas,Aquaculture / fisheries

Key features

• Build in solid state 3-axis tilt compensated compass 

• Heading and tilt compensation for each ping

• Low power consumption

• Insensitive to fouling

• Low maintenance needs

• Direct readout of engineering data

• Fast sampling rate (up to 10Hz)

• Output interval from 30s to 2 hours

• RS-232/RS-422 output for integration to most third-party Data loggers

• Configurable output for easy integration 

• Cell size selectable from 0,5 to 5m

• Up to 150 individual cells divided into three user configurable profile columns

Exceptional compensation in moving applications

• Measurements are compensated for instrument movement;

• Each ping is compensated for the corresponding tilt and heading, taking into account mooring or buoy motions 

• The Doppler current profiler sensor calculates the correct vertical distance to a specific cell for each beam.

Optimal flexibility

• In addition to its ease of use, the DCPS configuration flexibility makes it possible to address all scenarios of ocean observations.

• Upward or downward looking

• User selectable broadband or narrowband modes matching different applications

• Address different applications scenarios using a single instrument; address up to three profiling configurations simultaneously; each profiling column can be set up with individual cell size and cell overlap.

• Surface current feature; measure in the top cms layer*)

• Surface referred columns; the column keeps a fixed distance to the surface to follow water level changes*)

• Direct readout of engineering data

• • Configurable output format
