LISST-ABS

Submersible Acoustic Backscatter Sediment Sensor

 

Low-cost acoustic sensor directly measuring Suspended Sediment Concentration (SSC) at a point. Integrates easily with existing dataloggers or monitoring systems. Typical application areas: Environmental monitoring where SSC is of interest, hydropower, sediment studies.

 

Features

  • Outputs concentration in analog, SDI-12 and RS232 formats on the underwater connector
  • Integrates with any datalogger that can provide power and accept analog, SDI-12 or RS232 signals
  • Installs on fixed structures, profiling packages and underwater vehicles or tow bodies (minimum 15 cm from solid boundaries)
