SEAGUARDII DCP Doppler Current Profiler The SeaGuardII DCP is the latest acoustic profiler joining the SeaGuard family. It features innovative development of the acoustic profiling capacity and an exceptional ability to collect high quality current information even on moving and tilting moorings. Available as a self recording instrument, it also integrates unique real time features to meet each application needs. The SeaGuardII is a smart data hub that combines the SeaGuard electronics with the advanced management firmware of Aanderaa SmartGuard data hub. SeaGuardII DCP is a 600kHz profiler with multi-sensor capability. By design, it offers increased deployment time, optimized configuration flexibility and unique features to cope with demanding upper ocean environments. The SeaGuardII DCP is available as 300m depth rated, 3000m, 4500m or 6000m. Optional parameters are available using Aanderaa range of smart sensors that include temperature, pressure, conductivity, oxygen, wave, tide and turbidity. In addition the SeaGuardII has 4 analog inputs, 2 serial ports with power control and direct connection for real time data transmission. Applications: • Buoy mounted • Hyd/Met systems • In mooring line with upside down possibility • SeaGuardII DCP Dual Head (Two DCPS connected) • Ocean observatory with sensors string • Bottom mounted • Multiparameter ocean observations Unique expendable platform Easy connection of additional sensors • Wide range of additional parameters available; wave, tide, temperature, conductivity, pressure, oxygen and turbidity, and integration from third party: ORP, pH, total algae, etc • Can easily be extended to an effective ocean observatory. • Double the measuring range using two DCPS transducer heads connected to one instrument • Measure in the blanking zone or boundary layer by combining with a single point Doppler Current Sensor • LED indicator; visual confirmation of the status of the instrument Exceptional compensation for environment interference • Tilt compensation of each ping to correct data for dynamic movements • Advanced tilt compensation algorithm with cell position adjustment; achieve true horizontal current measurements Optimal flexibility • User selectable broadband or narrowband modes • Address different applications scenarios using a single instrument; set up to three configurations simultaneously • Surface current feature; measure in the top centimeters layer • Surface referred columns; follow water level changes Increased deployment time • 24 months deployment at 30min sampling interval • Reduced power consumption with broadband technology • Increased internal battery capacity • Optional user assembled battery Smart Data quality control • Increased data quality control • Automatic flagging of bad data; status report for each cell • User selectable advanced autobeam algorithm; automatic selection of the best 3-beams combination to remove faulty cells Enhanced real time functionality • Modem support with power control • Support AIS, GOES, pseudo binary formats • Flexible configuration allows optimal limitation of transmitted data • Independent configuration of the recording and transmission intervals • Automatic retransmission of missing data User friendly set up and data analyzing • Predeployment configuration software; RT Collector • Modern post processing software Data Studio 3D • Geovi
