System Overview
The H-ADCP transducer assembly contains the end-cap, housing, transducer ceramics, and electronics.
The standard acoustic frequencies are 600 and 300 kHz. See the Outline Installation Drawings for dimen-
sions and weights.
Picture Description
The Input/Output (I/O) cable connects the H-ADCP to the
computer and external power supply. When the cable is not
connected, use the dummy plug to protect the connector.
The optional pressure sensor (standard 200 Bar) measures
water pressure (depth).
The orange urethane faces covers the transducer ceramics.
Never set the transducer on a hard surface. The urethane
faces may be damaged.
The standard H-ADCP housing allows deployment depths to
200 meters.
The H-ADCP electronics and transducer ceramics are
mounted to the transducer head.

Computer Considerations
TRDI designed the H-ADCP to use a Windows® compatible computer. The computer controls the
H-ADCP and displays its data, usually through our SurfaceView program.
TRDI highly recommends downloading and installing all of the critical updates, recommended
updates, and the service releases for the version of Windows® that you are using prior to
installing any TRDI software.
SurfaceView runs on Windows XP® only; it will not operate on Windows 7® or 8®.
Minimum computer hardware requirements:
•Windows XP®, Windows 7®, Windows 8®
•One Serial Port (two or more High Speed UART Serial Port recommended)
•Minimum display resolution of 1024 x 768, 256 color (higher recommended)
The computer configuration varies depending of the number of communication ports and the external
data refresh rate. Serial communications require a lot of processor resources, and the minimum require-
ments can vary. A good quality video card is required to operate SurfaceView and WavesMon simultane-
ously. We do not use graphic card 3D functions; however, video memory is needed to display all graphics.
However, with experience we can recommend that:
•If you are using more than two communication ports, you should not use a Celeron processor.
•Intel Pentium III or higher processors work best to operate the H-ADCP and give access to the
display and keyboard without losing ensembles.

Power Overview
H-ADCP requires +20 to 50 VDC to operate. The AC Adapter runs on any standard AC power and sup-
plies +48 VDC to run the H-ADCP.
Transmitted power increases or decreases depending on the input voltage (within the voltage range of 20
to 50 VDC).
The transmitted power is decreased approximately 1 DB if the input voltage drops from 42 VDC
to 33 VDC. For a 300 kHz H-ADCP, each DB will result in a decrease in range of one default depth
cell.
Power on Cycle
The power supply must be able to handle the inrush current as well. Inrush current is the current required
to fully charge up the capacitors when power is applied to the H-ADCP. The capacitors provide a store of
energy for use during transmit. The inrush current is as high as 3 Amps rms. The H-ADCP will draw this
amperage until its capacitors are fully charged.
If the power supply limits the current or the power drop on the cable is significant, then the power on
cycle will take longer. It can take up to one minute. You do not want the power to shut down during the
inrush current draw, as this may not allow the H-ADCP electronics to start.
AC Power Adapter
The AC power adapter is designed to maintain a 400-ma supply under the H-ADCP’s inrush current. The
adapters are 75-Watt supplies, with 48 VDC, 1.5 amp outputs. They will not fall back to 0 amps, 0 volts
under a load. Customer provided power supplies might shut themselves down under such a load; when
that occurs, the H-ADCP will not wakeup.

Setting up the H-ADCP System
Use this section to connect the H-ADCP to a computer and establish communications. Install the RDI
Tools software in order to communicate with the H-ADCP.
To set up the H-ADCP:
1. Connect the I/O cable to the H-ADCP. Do so by pushing straight in against the connector. Roll the
retaining strap over the connector.
Place a light amount of dry silicone lubricant spray on the connector pins (rubber portion only).
This will make it easier to connect or remove the I/O cable and dummy plug. See I/O Cable and
Dummy Plug for details.
2. Attach the I/O cable to your computer's communication port. The standard communications set-
tings are RS-232, 9600-baud, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
If the computer uses RS-422 communications, connect the RS-232 to RS-422 adapter.
3. Connect the AC power adapter to the I/O cable.
