Assembling the Float
To attach the boom to the float:
Loosen the clamp thumbscrew on the boom.
Feed the transducer cable up through the bottom of
the clamp.
Attach the transducer cable to the electronics housing
connector.
Do NOT turn the coupling ring on the
transducer cable any further once it clicks into
place. Over-tightening the coupling ring will
cause the locking teeth to break.
Do NOT use any tools to tighten the coupling
ring. It should only be “finger tight”.
To adjust the transducer angle and depth:
Locate the embossed arrow on the top edge of the
transducer and rotate the transducer so that the arrow
is pointing to the front of the float.
For the in-hull position, the transducer needs to be
pushed into the arm until the line is flush with the top
of the boom.

P/N 95B-6129-00 (August 2021) StreamPro Deployment Guide
Page 4 EAR-Controlled Technology Subject to Restrictions Contained on the Cover Page.
For the extended position, adjust the transducer depth
as shallow as possible.
To attach the solar shield:
Attach the solar shield to the standoff bolts on the
electric housing cover plate using the attached
thumbscrews.
Tighten the thumbscrews “finger tight”. Do not over
tighten.
It is important to only gently finger tighten the
sunshield screws when placing the sunshield
back on the electronic housing M6 standoff bolts.
Should any movement occur on the M6 standoff bolts
due to over tightening the sun shield screws, the
Loctite seal will be broken, and thus allowing the M6
standoff bolts to subsequently become loose.
Quick Review
Check that you have all the StreamPro
parts.
If you are missing parts, contact TRDI
support [e-mail] or call +1
[phone].
Check that the software and
documentation is installed.

Connecting to the StreamPro
CONNECTING TO THE STREAMPRO INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
Installing a battery pack
Connecting to the system using WinRiver II
What type power does my system need?
The StreamPro ADCP requires a DC supply between 10.5
volts and 18 volts. Use eight AA Alkaline batteries or eight AA
Rechargeable Nickel-metal hydride batteries. For the longest
continuous operation time, use eight AA Lithium batteries.
To replace the batteries:
1. Turn the power switch OFF.
2. Remove the solar shield by loosening the four thumb-
screws.
3. Open the battery compartment door by loosening the
three thumbscrews.
4. Place the battery holder in the housing making sure the battery contacts on the holder match the
two springs inside the housing
5. Close the battery compartment door and tighten the thumbscrews. Only tighten the battery cover
thumbscrews finger tight.
6. Install the solar shield.
Check that the battery voltage is above 11.5 Volts DC. StreamPro ADCPs will work at 11.5 VDC
with at least 400 milli amps; however, batteries with voltages below 11 VDC are at or near
their end of life and are approaching uselessness.
A blinking amber LED indicates the battery level is low.
TRDI strongly recommends that users install the drivers and test communications in a loca-
tion with internet access, before proceeding to their measurement location.

P/N 95B-6129-00 (August 2021) StreamPro Deployment Guide
Page 6 EAR-Controlled Technology Subject to Restrictions Contained on the Cover Page.
Some Bluetooth devices may ask for a passkey, PIN code, Pair code, Pairing code, Security
code, or Bluetooth code.
In all cases, the code is 0 or 0000 (zero, not the letter o).
The pin code is 0 for systems shipped prior to August 2017 and 0000 for systems shipped
after August 2017. If your system is sent in for repair and the Bluetooth module is replaced,
the pin code (if needed) will change from 0 to 0000.
For StreamPro systems shipped after August 2017, the Microsoft® Bluetooth drivers work
with WinRiver II. For best results, use the USB Bluetooth device with the driver supplied with
the StreamPro for WinRiver II.
To connect to a StreamPro ADCP:
1. Attach the Transducer cable to the StreamPro Electronics chassis and install the battery pack.
Turn on the StreamPro power switch.
2. Plug in the SD1000U device to a USB port and determine the Com port used.
See the WinRiver II SD1000U Bluetooth Communication Setup Card for instructions.
3. Run the ParaniWin program and connect to the ADCP. With the Bluetooth modules used since
August 2017 (or a repaired older unit where the Bluetooth module was replaced) you may need to
Mode 0 and Authentication (not Encryption). The code is 0000 (four zeros) and click Apply.
You may need to use either Authentication or no authentication when using ParaniWin with
an SD100U. Try one, and if does not work try the other. Use whichever one works going
forward.
The selection of Mode 0 or Mode 1 is independent of Authentication/no Authentication:
•Mode 1 automatically reconnects to the ADCP, but is otherwise identical to Mode 0.
•You must establish an outgoing connection before you can switch to Mode 1, but once in
Mode 1 you can not connect to a different ADCP without switching back to Mode 0.
4. Exit the ParaniWin program.
5. Start WinRiver II.
6. On the Configure menu, select Peripherals.

Using GPS
The StreamPro ADCPs supports external GPS data. To connect the GPS onto the StreamPro ADCP:
The GPS mounting kit is designed around the GENEQ
SXBlue II GPS unit (not included)*. The kit includes the
following:
•Sunshield with GPS mounting holes
•Non-magnetic antenna base
•Antenna mount bracket
•Antenna cable
•Mounting hardware
*The SXBlue II GPS system may be purchased from
Teledyne RD Instruments or other sources.
Remove two screws on opposing corners as shown
from the battery pack on the SXBlue II GPS unit.
Newer SXBlue II battery packs have a curved back
and require spacers to attach it to the sunshield.
Attach the SXBlue II GPS unit to the StreamPro
sunshield using the 6-32 panel screws and spacers.
The GPS LEDs and power switch should be facing the
front of the float.
Attach the sunshield to the StreamPro electronics
chassis.
It is important to only gently finger tighten the
sunshield screws when placing the sunshield back on
the electronic housing M6 standoff bolts. Should any
movement occur on the M6 standoff bolts due to over
tightening the sun shield screws, the Loctite seal will
be broken, and thus allowing the M6 standoff bolts to
subsequently become loose. Always visually check
that the M6 standoff bolts that the solar shield
attaches to are secure.

Remove the original magnetic antenna base and attach
the non-magnetic base using the four Phillips screws.
Magnetic materials will adversely affect the
StreamPro compass and substantially reduce the
accuracy of data referenced to the GPS. Do not use
the original magnetic base!
Install the transducer on the float.
Connect the transducer cable to the electronics
chassis.
Attach the antenna mount to the float with the 10-32
socket head screw, flat washer and split-washer.

Prepare for Discharge Measurement
PREPARING FOR DISCHARGE MEASUREMENT INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING
STEPS:
RUNNING THE WINRIVER II MEASUREMENT WIZARD
RUN THE BUILT-IN TESTS ON THE ADCP
RUN THE COMPASS CALIBRATION ON THE ADCP
RUN THE MOVING BED TEST/SET THE CLOCK
Prepare for Discharge Measurement
The Hydrologist arrives at the site with a StreamPro and all of the ancillary equipment necessary to per-
form a discharge measurement.
•Tethered boat w/ tagline – The Hydrologist sets up a tagline/pulley system for the tethered boat and
then proceeds to install the StreamPro in a standard RiverRay boat. Tethered boat measurements can
also be performed from a bridge or other structure across the river. This tends to provide reduced
control over the tethered boat motion in the water, as the bridle/line length is longer giving the Boat
more freedom to move with the water currents. Measurements taken from bridges or other structures
often encounter greater turbulence in the form of jets and eddies created by the structure or bridge
piers.
•Remote Control Boat – The StreamPro is attached to a Q/Z1250 Power Trimaran or equivalent.
If the measurement site is expected to have significant moving bed conditions, the
Hydrologist may decide to connect a portable GPS module to the StreamPro.
The StreamPro AA battery pack is installed. Next, the Hydrologist powers on the laptop, opens the dis-
charge measurement application WinRiver II and connects to the StreamPro with a wireless connection.

StreamPro Deployment Guide P/N 95B-6129-00 (August 2021)
EAR-Controlled Technology Subject to Restrictions Contained on the Cover Page. Page 13
Measurement Wizard
The Hydrologist selects to start a new measurement within the WinRiver II application. Once the Hydrol-
ogist enters all of the background information on the site where the measurement will be performed, the
software will then automatically detect whether an ADCP is connected and which ADCP product it is.
Use the Transducer Depth field to set the depth from the water level to the
center of the slant beam transducer faces.
Enter the Magnetic Variation for the site.
See Chapter 3 Tutorials and Chapter 7 Using the Measurement Wizard in the WinRiver II
User’s Guide.
Run Built-In Tests
The StreamPro is commanded to perform a BIT test on power up. On the Acquire menu, click Execute
ADCP Test to verify the ADCP is functioning properly.
See Chapter 3 Tutorials and Chapter 9 QA/QC in the WinRiver II User’s Guide.
Compass Calibration
Next, the Hydrologist performs a compass calibration. After ensuring that the system is well away from
sources of magnetic interference, the Hydrologist starts the compass calibration within the application
and then either: slowly rotates the StreamPro as suggested by the application (tethered boat/SxS) or
slowly drives the RC boat in a circle. During the calibration process, feedback is provided to the user as to
the quality of the collected magnetic field data at each partition of the 360°of rotation.
On the Acquire menu, click Execute Compass Calibration. When the calibration starts, select No for
the Use Pitch/Roll selection. In normal river discharge circumstances, using the “No” Pitch and Roll se-
lection is sufficient.
The no Pitch/Roll calibration (also called a single-tilt
calibration) requires two rotations while the ADCP is
on a flat, level surface.

P/N 95B-6129-00 (August 2021) StreamPro Deployment Guide
Page 14 EAR-Controlled Technology Subject to Restrictions Contained on the Cover Page.
Moving Bed Test/Set the Clock
At this point, the StreamPro should be tested and the compass cal-
ibration completed; once those steps are complete, it is ready to
start the moving bed test. The StreamPro is placed in the water,
and the Hydrologist enters the command to start it pinging using
the Acquire menu, and click Start Pinging or use the shortcut
key F4. If this is the first measurement taken, WinRiver II will
prompt for the clock to be set. Click the Set Clock button.
On the Acquire menu click Select Moving Bed Test. Select
Stationary or Loop Test and click the Start button.
Only clicking the OK button will NOT set the clock. The user MUST click the Set Clock button.
If the StreamPro was left in the hot sun, its temperature can quickly rise to 35⁰ C before use.
When initially placed in the water, the thermal mass of the StreamPro housing near the
temperature sensor initially affects the temperature measurement. Within five minutes it
reaches equilibrium and the temperature is accurate within ± 1⁰C. If the temperature sensor
is not allowed to sufficiently equilibrate within the body of water to be measured, it can
impact Speed Of Sound, velocity, and discharge-measurement accuracy.
Tethered boat – The StreamPro is moved to the center of the river, and the stationary moving bed test is
started. After five minutes, the moving bed test is stopped and the application displays the apparent mov-
ing bed velocity.
Remote Control boat – The Hydrologist begins a moving bed loop-test with the boat starting near the river
bank. The boat is maneuvered across to the opposite bank and back again. The user stops the test, and the
loop test results are displayed.
Either type of moving bed test (stationary or loop) can be performed with either deployment
method (tethered boat or RC boat).

Locating the Start & Stop Positions
LOCATING THE START AND STOP POSITIONS INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING
STEPS:
Locating the Start and Stop Positions
Locating the Start and Stop Positions
While the StreamPro is pinging, the Hydrologist positions the boat until the application shows that the
StreamPro is reliably collecting at least two bins of data and marks the position on the tagline for future
reference. Measure the distance to the shore from the StreamPro. The StreamPro is positioned to the op-
posite bank where two bins of data are reliably collected. Again, the tagline is marked and the distance to
the shore from the StreamPro is measured.
See Chapter 3 Tutorials and Chapter 10 Acquiring Discharge Data in the WinRiver II User’s
Guide.
Quick Review
Locate the Start and Stop Positions Read Chapter 3 and Chapter 10 in the
WinRiver II Users Guide.
Start/Stop distances from the center of
the transducer to the shore should be
measured as accurately as possible - at
least to the nearest Deci-meter.

Page 16 EAR-Controlled Technology Subject to Restrictions Contained on the Cover Page.
Discharge Measurements
Before starting a discharge measurement with a StreamPro ADCP using WinRiver II, the Hydrologist has:
1. Prepared the StreamPro, Boat or RC boat, and any external sensors being used
2. Configured the computer, communications link(s), and WinRiver II software for data collec-
tion using the StreamPro and any external sensors
3. Created a measurement file for the site
4. Ran the StreamPro Built-In tests
5. Performed the compass calibration procedure
6. Performed a moving bed test
The Hydrologist is now ready to start making the measurement.
Discharge Measurement
A proper moving boat discharge measurement consists of multiple transects – passes across the measure-
ment location from one bank to the other, collecting data continuously as they cross. For each transect,
the Hydrologist must maneuver the StreamPro to the marked position at one bank of the measurement
location (see Locating the Start and Stop Positions) and hold that position while they measure the distance to
the shore from the StreamPro. Then, start a measurement transect and enter the starting edge bank and
distance into the WinRiver II software. After collecting the required number of edge ensembles, the Hy-
drologist maneuvers the StreamPro towards the opposite bank of the measurement location in a smooth
and steady manner, collecting data continuously as they travel across the river, and monitoring for data
loss and quality issues. When the Hydrologist reaches the marked position at the other bank of the meas-
urement location they hold that position while they collect the required number of edge ensembles, meas-
ure the distance to the bank, end the transect, and enter the ending edge distance in the WinRiver II soft-
ware. After completing each transect, the Hydrologist performs a cursory review of the results and pre-
pares to start the next transect.
The best practice for a moving boat discharge measurement is to collect discharge transects in reciprocal
pairs (one transect in each direction across the measurement location) with some minimum number of
total transects and/or minimum cumulative total duration for all transects. For locations with steady-state
flow conditions, at least four transect that agree with each other within 5% of the mean of all the samples,
and additional transects and/or cumulative transect duration may be required if that criteria is not met.
The Hydrologist must make sure that the maximum permissible relative residual (MPRR) is met before
leaving the site. A minimum of two good water profile bins above the sidelobe cutoff are desired for all en-
sembles in a transect to enable extrapolation of flow in the unmeasured top and bottom regions of the
profile.
Once at least four transect that agree with each other within 5% of the mean of all the samples have been
collected, the Hydrologist/team will perform a QA/QC review of the data. Primary indicators of high
StreamPro data quality include a minimum loss of Bottom Track depth and velocity data, minimum loss
of ensemble and individual bin water profile data, maximization of the measured Q as a percent of total Q,
and consistency of the water velocity profile data between bins (vertically) and ensembles (horizontally)
across the transect.

Data Collections Tips
•Locate the point where a solid two-depth cell measurement can be measured on both banks. Stake
or otherwise mark these locations. They represent the starting and stopping points for the tran-
sects.
•Accurately measure and enter the Distance from Shore when prompted.
•Minimize the ADCP movement while Shore Ensembles are recorded.
•When departing from the edge, slowly accelerate the boat away from the edge and when ap-
proaching the other edge slowly reduce the speed such that the boat decelerates and does not
overshoot the edge. The goal is to go from edge to edge and not overshoot at either edge. Doing so
will allow you to obtain the most accurate measurements, in particular the area measurements.
•Move the ADCP at a slow steady pace in the water during transects.
•Collect a minimum of four transects that agree with each other to within 5% of the mean of all the
samples. The ADCP operator must make sure that the maximum permissible relative residual
(MPRR) is met before leaving the site (see Dynamic Residual Analysis, Chapter 6 in the WinRiver
II User’s Guide).
Quick Review
Collect at least four transect that agree
with each other within 5% of the mean of
all the samples.
Read Chapter 3 and Chapter 10 in the
WinRiver II Users Guide.
Verify the data before leaving the site. See Dynamic Residual Analysis, Chapter 6
