Features
• Water Velocity and Level
• MultiCell Current Profiling
• PowerPing Hi-precision Sampling
• Mounting and Display, and I/O
• Velocity-Indexing Software
Designed specifically for side mounting on bridges, canal walls, or riverbanks, the SL’s SLEEK low-profile housing makes installation easy. With three models to choose from, the SL can be used in channels as small as you can jump across to rivers as wide as the Amazon.
Ultra narrow beam widths combined with unmatched side lobe suppression provide the SUPERIOR acoustic directivity necessary for achieving maximum horizontal range free of interference from surface or bottom boundaries.
Applications
• River Discharge Monitoring
• Irrigation Canals
• Ports and Harbors
• Shallow Streams and Estuaries
• Water Supply
