Description

The Argonaut-XR offers exceptional value for near shore deployments in less than 20 m of water. Designed specifically for mounting on the bottom of a river, channel, or harbor, the XR features a special mode that automatically adjusts one of its measurement cells for changing water level. Its small size, rugged build, and flexible system architecture make the XR attractive for both real-time operation and autonomous deployments. The basic autonomous system includes a Multi-Cell (current profiling) feature, an external battery pack, internal recorder, compass/tilt sensor, pressure sensor, and temperature sensor. Additional options such as a non-directional wave package make the XR the centerpiece of a complete oceanographic or hydrologic data collection system.

  • Programmable 0.5 to 20m range
  • ViewArgonaut software
  • AutoTide – automatic sampling volume adjustments
  • Multi-Cell current profiling feature
  • Integrated compass, tilt, temperature, and pressure sensors
  • Optional wave frequency spectra estimation
  • SDI-12 compatible
