The self-contained Sentinelis Teledyne RD Instruments’ most popular and
versatile Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) configuration, boasting
thousands of units in operation in over 50 countries around the world.
By providing profiling ranges from 1 to 165m, the high-frequency Sentinel
ADCP is ideally suited for a wide variety of applications. Thanks to
Teledyne RDI’s patented Broadband signal processing, the Sentinel also
offers unbeatable precision, with unmatched low power consumption,
allowing you to collect more data over an extended period.
The lightweight and adaptable Sentinel is easily deployed on buoys, boats,
or mounted on the seafloor. Real-time data can be transmitted to shore
via a cable link or acoustic modem, or data can be stored internally for
short or long-term deployments. The Sentinel is easily upgraded to include
pressure, bottom tracking, and/or directional wave measurement—for the ultimate data collection solution.
