Water Survey Tech

Product Detail

Channel Master

  • Accurate: Teledyne RDI Broadband technology allows for small cells and/or short averaging sampling intervals, thus increasing your data accuracy.
  • Robust: Collect highly accurate velocities even in difficult environments such as slow flow or rapidly changing flow.
  • Versatile: ChannelMaster offers a range of 1-128 user-selectable cell sizes from 25 cm – 8 m and profiling ranges from 1 m – 300 m (frequency dependent).
  • Sturdy: Comes standard with stainless steel mounting fixture.
  • SDI-12 interface for connection to existing data loggers or remote data transmission systems

Share This Items :

  • All-in-one ADCP system for high-resolution and precise velocity profiling from 1 m to 30 0m ranges including an integrated ultrasonic vertical beam and a redundant pressure sensor for stage measurement
  • Water level, flow velocity and discharge output via RS 232 interface (SDI-12 protocol) for connection to an external data logger (e.g. SEBA-NetlogCom)
  • User-friendly software for site configuration (input of the cross-section, correction factors,… etc.)
  • Robust and flexible bracket for easy installation and alignment of the ChannelMaster is optionally available with additional protection fixture
  • Relatively low installation effort and expenditure, since the ChannelMaster is installed on only one side of the river/channel.
  • discharge, velocity and water level measurements in rivers, streams and canals
  • Measurement of complex currents for environmental monitoring
  • Calibration of numerical models or verifications
