Nortek delivers first ADCs
Nortek, in cooperation with Ott GmbH of Germany, has completed the development of a new handheld river current meter named "ADC". First delivery took place in November of 2007
ADC sensor mounted to the wading rod
The ADC has been under developement and testing for well over a year and has met with great succes both in tow tank tests and in river testing. The system consist of a 6 MHz, two-beam coherent Doppler system mounted on a wading rod and a control and processing unit that is attached to the to of the staff. Some novel elements are:
- Pressure sensor mounted in the probe lets you determine the depth of the velocity measurements
- Coherent processing for superior velocity data
- Remote sampling of the velocity (10-15 cm upstream) provides accurate and precise measurements
- Handheld processing unit har rechargeable batteries
- Small and light combined with non-corroding materials (plastics and stainless)
