Bluetooth Recording Current Meter (RCM Blue)

A self-recording dedicated current meter with Bluetooth for communications and data retrieval - now with the possibility to integrate a pressure sensor!

The RCM Blue is a self-recording Current Meter which also measures water temperature in salt or fresh water, and a battery container with battery capacity up to 70Ah. .

The Doppler Current Sensor is an upgraded version of the proven SeaGuard ZPulse sensor. The RCM Blue instrument configuration and data retrieval is done via Bluetooth which eliminates the need to open the pressure case for repeated deployments.

RCM Blue has now been upgraded with the possibility to integrate a pressure sensor with a 0,01% accuracy. This simplifies your work significantly as you will know exactly where you are in the water column.

Stand-alone sensor

Now available as a stand-alone sensor with Wetmatible Connector. The sensor can also store data on an internal SD card with an RS-232 interface for easy integration.

The RCM Blue features the following:

  • Internal data storage
  • Configuration and data retrieval by use of Bluetooth
  • Battery compartments with up to 70Ah
  • External LED with color code reports status
  • Software for configuration and retrieval of data and USB to Bluetooth adapter included
  • Unique ZPulse multi-frequency acoustic technology improves data quality, sampling speed and reduces power consumption
  • Built-in solid state three axis compass and tilt sensor with compensating algorithm
  • Direct readout of engineering data
  • Fast sampling rate
  • Low power consumption
  • Insensitive to fouling
  • Low maintenance needs

Motion Based Waves

Accurate Motion Based wave measurements are critical in applications such as offshore wind farm development, navigation, cable laying, breakwater building, and bridge construction.

Ocean Currents

Ocean water currents are driven by winds, tides and density differences. The ocean circulation regulates the earth's climate by transporting heat. The flowing water affects offshore and coastal construction and also carries particles, animals, plants, nutrients, pollutants and dissolved gases. The acoustic doppler technique has become the preferred technology for most users measuring ocean current, because it is robust, needs no calibrations, can be used for both point (RCM) and profiling (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling) measurements and is basically insensitive to fouling.

Single Sensors

Aquatic environments are constantly changing. Regardless if you model effects of climate change on a global scale, operate an aquaculture facility, study the impact of human activities in the coastal zone, spreading of pollution, ecosystem changes, or are involved in coastal or off-shore constructions, measurements of relevant water quality parameters are fundamental to understand ongoing changes and risks and make it possible to calibrate and verify mathematical models.

Pressure Sensor

Aanderaa pressure sensors are compact, intelligent pressure sensors designed for use on Aanderaa Data Instruments dataloggers as well as in other measuring systems.
