Legacy product - OTT ADC
Handheld, acoustic water flow, velocity meter for in-stream point velocity measurements
The OTT Acoustic Digital Current meter (ADC) delivers consistently accurate results with the most advanced acoustic technology available for point velocity measurement. Designed specifically for in-stream velocity measurement, the ADC features a sensor with two 6 MHz acoustic transducers, temperature and depth sensors, and a cable and handheld unit for signal processing.
- Spot
- Acoustic
- Flow velocity, depth
- Latest state of the art ultrasonic Doppler technology for high accurate velocity measurements. Maintenance free sensor with integrated depth measurement, graphical step by step user guidance and discharge calculation according to ISO 748 and USGS standard
- -0.2 … 2.4 m/s
- ± 1% of measured value ± 0.25 cm/s
- Innovative Technology– Accurate velocity measurements using the latest acoustic technology and automatic discharge calculation based on international standards (USGS and ISO 748)
- High Performance– 6 MHz acoustic transducers and large sample volume reduce potential signal-to-noise issues
- Time Saver– Built-in depth sensor and measurement guidance minimizes time in the field and reduces sources of measurement error
- Simple Setup– Logical menu structure and large buttons help facilitate quick and easy setup
- Easy-to-Use– Review instantaneous velocity and measurement quality data during the measurement with the rod-mounted graphical display
- Versatile– Supports USGS, ISO, ICE, KREPS, and multi-point velocity methods and Mid and Mean section discharge methods
- Flexible– Attaches to common wading rods like the USGS Top Setting wading rod
High accuracy velocity measurement in open channels, including streams, rivers, and canals
