  • Page 5: Connecting To The Adcp

    What type power does my system need? The RiverRay ADCP requires a DC supply between 10.5 volts to 18 volts. Either an external DC power sup- ply or battery can provide this power. The standard 12v 7 ah battery supplied with the Boat should power the ADCP for ~40 hours by itself, or ADCP + GPS for ~8 to 12 hours.

    Using GPS Integrated GPS The RiverRay ADCPs support integration of GPS data into the ADCP data stream. This approach mini- mizes the potential for latency in the GPS data and does not require a dedicated communications channel between the GPS receiver and the user’s computer.

  • Page 14 Run Built-In Tests The RiverRay is commanded to perform a BIT test on power up, and flashes its LED lights to indicate the results of the test. It simultaneously transmits the results of the BIT test, the status of the internal GPS connection and any ancillary devices connected to it to the host computer.
  • Page 15 RiverRay Deployment Guide P/N 95B-6131-00 (April 2022) If the RiverRay was left in the hot sun, its temperature can quickly rise to 35⁰ C before use. When initially placed in the water, the thermal mass of the RiverRay housing near the temperature sensor initially affects the temperature measurement.

  • Page 16: Locating The Start & Stop Positions

    Locating the Start and Stop Positions While the RiverRay is pinging, the Hydrologist positions the boat until the application shows that the Ri- verRay is reliably collecting at least two bins of data and marks the position on the tagline for future refer- ence.

    A proper moving boat discharge measurement consists of multiple transects – passes across the measure- ment location from one bank to the other, collecting data continuously as they cross. For each transect, the Hydrologist must maneuver the RiverRay to the marked position at one bank of the measurement lo- Locating the Start and Stop...
