New Accessories for Teledyne RD Instruments Water Resources ADCPs!
UVS is excited to announce two new accessories to complement the Teledyne RD Instruments Water Resources product line – the Ousel Board and the Temporary High-Line.
The Ousel Board and the Temporary High-Line are proven to save time in the field, simplify the setup process, as well as ensure the safety of the field hydrologists when collecting data.
The Ousel Board
Assembling a tagline across a stream or river to tether your float and collect measurements can be a challenge for even the most advanced field hydrologist. Currently the hydrologist has to wade, swim, heave the line or paddle in a boat across the river or stream to get the line to the other side. Depending on the water flow and the conditions, this could be a challenging and dangerous situation. The new and innovative Ousel Board was designed to simply use the natural flow of the river to cross from one river bank to the other.
 |
| Using the Ousel Board is simple … the hydrologist releases the Ousel Board attached to a line into the water. |
 |
| The Ousel Board instinctively floats across the river to the opposite bank. The unique design of the Ousel Board can withstand both high and low flow conditions.
|
 |
| The hydrologist on the opposite bank easily grabs the board when it nears and secures the line.
|
 |
| The Ousel Board is out of the water and the line is across the river
|
 |
| The float with ADCP is then tethered onto the line to begin collecting measurements |
The Temporary High-Line
Sometimes in the field there isn’t always a tree or structure to securely rig a tagline to. This is where the Temporary High-Line comes in to safely secure your line. The tri-pod design with telescoping legs is the perfect solution to handle all types of environments. The set-up is quick and easy!
Both the Ousel Board and Temporary High-Line are currently being added into the Water Resources product line at Teledyne RD Instruments and will be available for purchase soon.
 |
| The earth anchors on the High-Line provide a secure installation and upholds the integrity of the line to prevent a sagging line. |
 |
| When data collection is complete, the earth anchors are easily removed minimizing your environmental footprint and the tripod folds back up effortlessly.
