RiverPro Overview
The RiverPro transducer assembly contains the end-cap, housing, transducer ceramics, and electronics.
The standard acoustic frequencies are four 1200 kHz Janus beams and one 600 kHz vertical beam. See

Description
The Input/Output (I/O) cable connects the RiverPro ADCP to the
computer and external power supply. When the cable is not con-
nected, use the dummy plug to protect the connector.
The LEDs on the end-cap indicates the status of the RiverPro sys-
tem.
The I/O connector should not be exposed to extended peri-
ods of heat or direct sunlight.
Always apply lubricant before connecting the I/O cable to the
RiverPro.
The RiverPro is intended to be operated as a surface mounted
system only. No depth rating is provided.
The Thermistor measures the water temperature.
The black urethane faces covers the transducer ceramics.
The Vertical Beam allows for depth measurement directly under
the RiverPro.
Never set the transducer on a hard surface. The urethane
faces may be damaged.
The RiverPro electronics and transducer ceramics are mounted to
the transducer head. The numbers embossed on the end-cap and
transducer head indicate the beam number.
The RiverPro ADCP incorporates an internal GPS module intended
for GeoReference purposes. The RiverPro captures the GGA and
VTG NMEA strings from the internal GPS module and reports
them in the PD0 data stream using the general NMEA format.
WinRiver II
provides status of this module and displays the data
during both data collection and playback.
