ADCP even while it is in the shipping case. To attach the mounting plate: 1. Place the RiverPro/RioPro ADCP on a soft pad to protect the transducer face. 2. Install the mounting plate to the transducer end-cap using the six M6 bolts and flat washers.
4. Place the transducer into the boat. Slide the mounting plate until the rosette knob screws are in the slot. 5. Attach the ‘RiverPro/RioPro leash’ cable from the wire rope bridle to one of the mounting plate screws. Attach the support brace using the provided thumbscrews.
RiverPro and RioPro ADCP Guide Boat Battery Connection The RiverPro/RioPro system uses a 12v Lead Acid battery to provide power. The battery should be re- placed when the voltage falls below 11 VDC (measure with the cable connected and the power switch on).
RiverPro/RioPro is in storage or is being handled. To disconnect the cable: 1. Place the RiverPro/RioPro on a soft pad to protect the transducer face. Remove the Strain Relief. 2. Release the retaining strap by pulling it over the connector.
2) The O-ring on the bottom of the end-cap connector can be damaged. 3) The molded urethane on the end-cap connector may separate from the brass insert. If the end-cap connector is damaged in any of these ways, the RiverPro/RioPro will flood. Using the Cable Clips If the retaining strap on the dummy plug or cable breaks, use the cable clips: 1.
The cable can be easily replaced if it fails. Figure 8. Do not use Zip-Ties Directly on Cables When attaching the RiverPro/RioPro cable to a mount, do not zip-tie the cables directly to the structure. Zip-ties slowly cut through the cable’s outer jacket and cause leaks. Page 25...
Figure 10. Rio Grande I/O Cable Wiring Where shown, IN refers to signals going into the RiverPro/RioPro and OUT refers to signals coming out of the RiverPro/RioPro. If the RiverRay/RiverPro/RioPro cable is not available, a WorkHorse Rio Grande I/O cable can be used.
Use the following suggestions when mounting the RiverPro/RioPro ADCP: • It is desirable to rigidly mount the RiverPro/RioPro to the platform. Avoid the free spinning of the RiverPro/RioPro in this application. The RiverPro/RioPro must stay in the water at all times.
No matter what mounting style is used, the RiverPro/RioPro must be below the bubble layer. Bubbles will cling to the urethane faces of the RiverPro/RioPro and re- duce the range to almost nothing. Usually a mount somewhere aft of amidship is used. A stern mount will cause all sorts of problems due to propeller wake, bubbles, and turbulent water conditions.
October 2017 In-Hull Mounting The in-hull mounted RiverPro/RioPro is common when it is intended to keep the system on a single ves- sel or when over-the-side mounting is not practical for the vessel. For this type of mounting, there are is- sues of beam clearance and access.

To ensure continuous optimal results from the RiverPro/RioPro, TRDI recommends that every RiverPro/RioPro be returned to our factory for an inspection every two to three years. TRDI’s customer service will provide the unit with a thorough multi-point inspection and any refurbishment services needed to properly maintain the unit.
RiverPro and RioPro ADCP Guide October 2017 Periodic Maintenance Items These maintenance items should be done prior to using the RiverPro/RioPro. I/O Cable Connector Lubrication The I/O connectors require very little maintenance. They are designed to be used in harsh environments and thus limited amounts of dirt and grit do not affect their performance.
3. Dry the transducer faces with low-pressure compressed air or soft lint-free towels. Always dry the RiverPro/RioPro before placing it in the storage case to avoid fungus or mold growth. Do not store the RiverPro/RioPro in wet or damp locations.
3. Dissemble the boat (if required) and place it into its own shipping container. 4. Place the transducer in the foam cutouts in the bottom of the shipping case. The RiverPro trans- ducer will fit into the shipping case with the mounting plate installed. If stored this way, remove the extra foam material that has already been pre-cut from the instrument cavity.
RiverPro and RioPro ADCP Guide 3. Select Use Pitch/Roll? • Click No if the RiverPro/RioPro will not be subject to pitch and roll (i.e. calm water) (see Figure 15). This calibration requires two rotations (one for calibration and one for verification).
The O-rings, desiccant and hardware should be replaced every one to two years. Maintenance Kit Table 2 and Table 3 lists the items in the maintenance kits. These kits are required when the RiverPro/Ri- oPro has been opened. The maintenance kit includes the following tools and spare parts.

These signs may indicate that there is internal pressure inside the unit. If the RiverPro/RioPro flooded, there may be gas under pressure inside the housing. As a precaution, loosen the four end-cap bolts to vent the system.
• Make sure all printed circuit boards, spacers, cables, and screws have been installed. • Install one fresh bag of desiccant just before closing the RiverPro/RioPro (see Desiccant Bags). Desiccant Bags Desiccant bags are used to dehumidify the housing interior. Desiccant is essential in deployments with plastic housings.
Defects must be less than 0.1 mm (0.004 in.). Always use new O-rings. Weak or damaged O-rings will cause the RiverPro/RioPro to flood. 2. Clean and inspect the O-ring grooves. Be sure the grooves are free of foreign matter, scratches, indentations, corrosion, and pitting.
Use rubber bands to hold the wiring in place as necessary. If the O-ring is not in the groove or if a wire or other object is pinched, the RiverPro/RioPro will flood. 4. Examine the transducer assembly bolts and washers for corrosion; replace if necessary. Use Fig- ure 17 and Figure 18 for parts identification.
RiverPro/RioPro will flood. 5. Examine the end-cap assembly bolts and washers for corrosion; replace if necessary. Use Figure 17 and Figure 18 for parts identification. All hardware items are needed to seal the RiverPro/Ri- oPro properly.

Using WinRiver II or SxS Pro for real-time deployments to develop the command file will ensure that the RiverPro/RioPro is set up correctly. The commands shown in Table 10 directly affect the range of the RiverPro/RioPro, the standard deviation (accuracy) of the data, and battery usage.
The RiverPro/RioPro will continue to be configured from volatile memory until it receives a CR-command or until the volatile memory loses its backup power. If the RiverPro/RioPro receives a CR0 it will load into volatile memory the command set last stored in non-volatile memory (semi-permanent user settings) through the CK-command.
2. Run the NGSPActivate.exe program to enable the Section-By-Section features. If this feature was ordered with the system, it will already be installed. For field upgrades, the file can be renamed by TRDI, for example to RR_SNxxx.exe where xxx is the RiverPro/RioPro ADCP’s serial number and will be e-mailed.
October 2017 Command Summary Table 10 gives a summary of the RiverPro/RioPro input commands, their format, and a brief description of the parameters they control, and the factory default command settings. When newer firmware versions are released, some commands may be modified or added.

Setting, and description. When appropriate, we include amplifying notes and examples. If a numeric value follows the command, the RiverPro/RioPro uses it to set a processing value (time, range, percentage, processing flags). All measurement values are in metric units (mm, cm, and dm).
Firmware Version: 56.xx Firmware Version: 56.xx > > When a break is sent, the first line of the banner indicates the RiverPro/RioPro’s communication configu- ration: • QBREAK A - RiverPro/RioPro response to a hard break on the serial RS-232 I/O cable.
The Section-By-Section (SxS) feature allows transects to be completed by measuring at different user selected points on the river. This makes it possible to measure streams that are frozen over. Manual Profile Modes allow the RiverPro/RioPro to override the automatic profiling mode and adds additional water profiling commands (see Water Profiling Commands) Contact your local sales representative if you are interested in upgrading your system.
The RiverPro/RioPro interleaves bottom-track pings with water-track pings (see TP command). If BP = zero, the RiverPro/RioPro does not collect bottom-track data. The RiverPro/RioPro automatically extends the ensemble interval (TE) if BP x TP > TE. Page 87 EAR-Controlled Technology Subject to Restrictions Contained on the Cover Page.
The BX-command sets the maximum tracking depth used by the RiverPro/RioPro during bottom tracking. This prevents the RiverPro/RioPro from searching too long and too deep for the bottom, allowing a faster ping rate when the RiverPro/RioPro loses track of the bottom.
The CA command sets the activity timeout period, in seconds. The activity timer is reset when a valid command is received. If no valid command is received within the timeout period, the RiverPro/RioPro will go to sleep or deploy itself, depending on the setting of the CT (Turnkey) command. If...
(see Changing the Baud Rate in the ADCPs). After valid CB parame- ters are entered, the RiverPro/RioPro responds with a “>” prompt. Then change the ex- ternal device’s communication parameters to match the RiverPro/RioPro parameters be- fore sending another command.
<Enter> sent to the RiverPro/RioPro is not echoed. This feature manually controls ping timing within the ensemble. Note the prompt output by the RiverPro/RioPro when ready to ping is a less-than symbol (<), to distinguish it from the normal com- mand prompt.
This can happen after several months without any power applied to the system (Note that this battery will recharge as soon as power is reapplied). If the RiverPro/RioPro is stopped by removing the power while pinging, it will restart pinging and output data next time power is applied.

(e.g., magnetic declination). Example The RiverPro/RioPro is mounted in place on a moving ship. Beam 3 has been rotated 45 clockwise (+45) from the ship’s centerline. Use the EA command to tell the RiverPro/Ri- oPro where beam 3 is in relation to the ship’s centerline. To convert +45 to an EA- command value, multiply the desired alignment angle in degrees by 100: EA = +45.00 ×...
See the primer for information on speed of sound cal- culations. If the EZ Speed of Sound field = 0, the RiverPro/RioPro overrides the manually-set EC value and calculates speed of sound using the values determined by transducer depth (ED), salinity (ES), and transducer temperature (ET).
3.50 × 100 = 350 = EH00350 If the EZ Heading field = 1, the RiverPro/RioPro overrides the manually set EH value and uses heading from the transducer’s internal sensor. If the sensor is not available, the RiverPro/RioPro uses the manual EH setting.
ER = -3.50 × 100 = -350 = ER-00350 If the EZ Roll field = 1, the RiverPro/RioPro overrides the manually set ER value and uses roll from the transducer’s internal tilt sensor. If the sensor is not available, the RiverPro/RioPro uses the manual ER setting.
EU sets the RiverPro/RioPro system orientation, up or down. If the EZ Roll field is not zero, the RiverPro/RioPro overrides the manually set EU value and uses orientation from the transducer’s internal tilt sensor. If the sensor is not available, the RiverPro/RioPro uses the manual EU setting.
2. Setting EX bit 3 (Use Tilts) to 0 collects tilt data without using it in the ship or earth- coordinate transformations. 3. Each RiverPro/RioPro uses its own beam calibration matrix to correct data for beam pointing errors (e.g., if the beams erroneously point toward 21 degrees instead of 20 degrees).
October 2017 B e am C oor d in a t e Sy st e m s The RiverPro/RioPro can produce velocity measurements in any of the following four sets of coordinate axes by setting the command. Except for the first, they are all right-handed orthogonal systems. The user operational requirements dictate the best coordinate system to be used.
October 2017 RiverPro and RioPro ADCP Guide Figure 26. RiverPro/RioPro Coordinate Transformation The importance of the ship axis is that the attitude angles (pitch, roll, and heading) measure the orienta- tion of the ship axes relative to the earth axes, regardless of up/down orientation. The sense of internal sensors Tilt 1 (pitch) and Tilt 2 (roll) is positive for counterclockwise tilts respectively about the S and F axes, using the right-hand rule (see Figure 27).
When a switch value is non-zero, the RiverPro/RioPro overrides the manual E-command setting and uses data from the appro- priate sensor. If no sensor is available, the RiverPro/RioPro defaults to the manual E- command setting. The following table shows how to interpret the sensor source switch settings.
Once the recorder fills up, the recorder MUST be erased before re-deploying the RiverPro/RioPro (start pinging again). If the RiverPro/RioPro is set to record data (MR1) and the recorder is full, the RiverPro/RioPro will not start pinging and will return a message.

Send the SF2 command to display the GPS string the instrument is receiving. If the baud rate between the GPS and the RiverPro/RioPro does not match, the GPS string will not be readable (i.e. “garbage” charac- ters). If the GPS is not connected, there is no output.
RiverPro and RioPro ADCP Guide October 2017 SI – Internal NMEA Menu Purpose Used for Internal GPS status and diagnostic information. Format n = 0, 1, 2, 10, -1, 11, 20, 30 Range Default Recommended Setting. Use as needed. Description Use the SI command to retrieve Internal GPS status and diagnostic information.
Recommended Setting. The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications. Description During the ensemble interval set by TE, the RiverPro/RioPro collects one automatic en- semble. If TE = 00:00:00.00, the RiverPro/RioPro starts collecting the next ensemble immediately after processing the previous ensemble.
CS command (see notes). 1. If a TF command is sent to the RiverPro/RioPro, the CS command must also be sent before deploying the RiverPro/RioPro. 2. If the entry is not valid, the RiverPro/RioPro sends an error message and does not update the wake-up time.
1. When the RiverPro/RioPro receives the carriage return after the TS command, it enters the new time into the real-time clock and sets hundredths of seconds to zero. 2. If the entry is not valid, the RiverPro/RioPro sends an error message and does not update the real-time clock.
RiverPro and RioPro ADCP Guide October 2017 Vertical Beam Range Commands The following commands define the criteria used to collect the vertical beam data. The vertical beam is not available for RioPro systems. Standard Vertical Beam Range Commands This section lists the Vertical Beam commands.
WD 1110000001 ----------- Data Out {v;c;a;p;s;*;*;*;*;m} WM 0003 ----------------- Water Profiling Mode [2,3,12] W? ---------------------- Display W-Command Menu Manual Mode Water Profiling WM2 and WM12 are feature upgrades for RiverPro/RioPro systems (see Feature Upgrades). This upgrade adds the following highlighted commands.
WD uses firmware switches to tell the RiverPro/RioPro the types of data to collect. The RiverPro/RioPro always collects header data, fixed and variable leader data, and check- sum data. Setting a bit to one tells the RiverPro/RioPro to collect that data type. The bits are described as follows:...
WN200 Recommended Setting. Set using WinRiver. Description The range of the RiverPro/RioPro is set by the number of depth cells (WN) times the size of each depth cell (WS). Page 126 EAR-Controlled Technology Subject to Restrictions Contained on the Cover Page.
WP sets the number of pings to average in each ensemble before sending/recording the data. 1. If WP = zero the RiverPro/RioPro does not collect water-profile data. 2. The RiverPro/RioPro automatically extends the ensemble interval (TE) if WP x TP > TE. WS – Bin Size Purpose Selects the volume of water for one measurement cell (bin).
The lower the value of the WV command, the lower the single-ping standard deviation. Set the WV command based on the maximum apparent velocity (RiverPro/RioPro motion plus water speed). The following formula is used to determine the setting of the WV com- mand: WV = (Max.
Recommended Setting. The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications. Description: Narrow bandwidths allow the RiverPro to profile farther, but the standard deviation is increased by as much as 2.5 times. ZC – Vertical Beam Correlation Threshold...
ZD uses firmware switches to tell the RiverPro the types of data to collect and process. The RiverPro always collects header data, fixed and variable leader data, and checksum data. Setting a bit to one tells the RiverPro to collect and process that data type. The bits are described as follows:...
Recommended Setting. The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications. Description: ZG0 tells the RiverPro to reduce receiver gain by 40 dB. This may increase data reliability in shallow-water applications where there is a high content of backscatter material. ZG1 (the default) uses the normal receiver gain.
Recommended Setting. The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications. Description: The range of the RiverPro vertical beam is set by the number of bins (ZN) times the size of each bin (ZS). The backscatter level is also a factor in determining the range that can be effectively measured by the vertical beam.
ZS010 Recommended Setting. The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications. Description: The RiverPro collects data over a number of bins. ZS sets the size of each bin in vertical centimeters. ZV – Vertical Beam Ambiguity Velocity Purpose: Sets the vertical beam radial ambiguity velocity.

The RiverPro/RioPro needs only three beams to calculate water-current velocities. The fourth beam provides an error velocity that determines data validity. If only three beams are available, the RiverPro/RioPro does not make this validity check. Ta- ble 24 (Percent-Good Data Format) has more information.
= USES ET FROM TRANSDUCER TEMPERATURE SENSOR NOTE: If the field = 0, or if the sensor is not available, the RiverPro/RioPro uses the manual command setting. If the field = 3, the RiverPro/RioPro uses the reading from the internal sensor or an external synchro sensor (only applicable to heading, roll, and pitch).

For down-facing RiverPro/RioPros, positive values mean that Beam #1 is spatially higher than Beam Scaling: LSD = 0.01 degree;...
October 2017 RiverPro and RioPro ADCP Guide The RiverPro/RioPro packs velocity data for each depth cell of each beam into a two-byte, two’s-comple- ment integer [-32768, 32767] with the LSB sent first. The RiverPro/RioPro scales velocity data in millime- ters per second (mm/s). A value of –32768 (8000h) indicates bad velocity values.
Correlation magnitude data give the magnitude of the normalized echo autocorrelation at the lag used for estimating the Doppler phase change. The RiverPro/RioPro represents this magnitude by a linear scale between 0 and 255, where 255 is perfect correlation (i.e., a solid target). A value of zero indicates bad cor- relation values.
As the echo returns from far away depth cells, echo intensity decreases. At some point, the echo will be weak enough on any given beam to cause the RiverPro/RioPro to reject some of its depth cell data. This causes the RiverPro/RioPro to calculate velocities with three beams instead of four beams. When the RiverPro/RioPro does 3-beam solutions, it stops calculating the error velocity because it needs four beams to do this.
RiverPro and RioPro ADCP Guide October 2017 FIELD 3 – Percentage of more than one beam bad in bin – 0% of the velocity data were rejected because not enough beams had good data. FIELD 4 – Percentage of good 4-beam solutions – 45% of the velocity data collected during the ensemble for depth cell 60 were calculated using four beams.
