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

Ocean Waves

Surface waves are formed by winds either locally as "wind waves" with shorter periods, or further away as “swell" with longer periods. A rare case of extremely long period of ocean waves are tsunamis from e.g. earthquakes and landslides. Because ocean waves can travel far and can contain high energy it is important to measure ocean waves to understand their impact on shipping fishing, tourism, constructions, shorelines, water mixing, sediment resuspension, gas exchange etc.
