SOUTH S5

    The SOUTH S5 is a high-performance 5-beam ADCP engineered for inland, offshore and complex water environments. Leveraging advanced acoustic Doppler technology, it delivers precision velocity and discharge measurements even in high-velocity and highsediment conditions—the ultimate tool for smart hydrology and environmental monitoring.

Model: S5

Features

• 5-Beam Configuration: Four slanted beams for current profiling and one dedicated vertical beam for precision depth sounding up to 200m.

• High-Sediment Capability: Enhanced bottom-tracking algorithms specifically optimized for turbid and high-sediment waters.

• USV Integration: Seamless integration with the M20/M20 pro Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) for autonomous surveying and long-range wireless data transmission.

• Rugged Design: Internal frame architecture for superior shock resistance and easy maintenance in harsh field conditions.
