3 System Overview
The WorkHorse Rio Grande is designed to measure real-time current pro-
files from temporary or permanent mounting in a vessel. The Rio Grande
ADCP system consists of an ADCP with Bottom Track mode, High Resolu-
tion Water Profiling modes, cables, and software. The input power re-
quirements for the Rio Grande are +12 VDC. The Rio Grande system re-
quires the addition of a Windows® compatible computer to collect data.
NOTE. Do not attempt to attach a Workhorse Monitor/Sentinel I/O cable or
power supply to the Workhorse Rio Grande ADCP. The Workhorse
Monitor and Sentinel ADCPs are 24 VDC systems.
The Workhorse Rio
Grande uses 12 VDC only.
NOTE. The Rio Grande End-Cap is red to differentiate it from the Monitor
and Sentinel ADCPs. Do not swap end-caps between a Rio Grande and a
Monitor/Sentinel. The pin-outs are different on both the I/O cable
connector and the internal I/O cable.
