October 2017 RiverPro and RioPro ADCP Guide
Power Overview
The RiverPro/RioPro ADCP requires a DC supply between 10.5 volts and 18 volts. Either an external DC
power supply or battery can provide this power. If using a battery, use the largest rated amp-hour battery
as possible. A car battery should last one to two days powering a 1200 kHz ADCP.
Check that the battery voltage is above 10.5 Volts DC. RiverPro/RioPro ADCPs will work at
10.5 VDC with at least 400 milli amps; however, batteries with voltages below 11 VDC are at
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 RiverPro/RioPro. The capacitors provide a
store of energy for use during transmit. The inrush current is as high as 3 Amps rms. The RiverPro/RioPro 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. If the power shuts down during the inrush current draw,
this may not allow the RiverPro/RioPro’s electronics to start.
or near their end of life, and are approaching uselessness.
Auto-Adaptive Water Profiling Mode
The RiverPro/RioPro uses an auto-adaptive water profiling mode which automatically adjusts velocity
profiling parameters every ensemble (reading) based on the water depth and other characteristics to
maintain a balance between velocity precision, spatial resolution, and data storage requirements. This approach allows consistent data quality throughout a transect and discharge measurement regardless of
changes in the water depth or flow characteristics without the need for user intervention.
For more details please refer to the chapter on Water Profiling Modes in the WinRiver II User
Guide.

Setting up the RiverPro/RioPro System
Use this section to connect the RiverPro/RioPro to a computer and establish communications. Install the
RDI Tools software in order to communicate with the RiverPro/RioPro. For collecting data, install the
WinRiver II, SxS Pro (optional), and Q-View (optional) software.
Bluetooth Connection
Use these next steps to setup a Bluetooth connection to the RiverPro/RioPro.
Figure 2. RiverPro/RioPro Connections – Bluetooth Connection
For instruction on using the SD1000U USB Bluetooth device, see the WinRiver II or SxS Pro
Software User’s Guide and the instructions and Bluetooth CD included with the device.
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).
To connect to a RiverPro/RioPro ADCP using the Bluetooth port:
1. Attach the boat’s cable to the ADCP’s connector and install the battery in the boat. Turn on the
boat power switch. Verify that both the red and green LEDs light. After a few seconds the red LED
should go out and the green LED will blink twice and then stay on. This indicates that the
RiverPro/RioPro self-test has passed.
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 RiverPro/RioPro 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 ADCP for WinRiver II.
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.

RiverPro and RioPro ADCP Guide October 2017
Caring for the RiverPro/RioPro System
This section contains a list of items to be aware of every time the RiverPro/RioPro is handled, used, or deployed. Please refer to this list often.
General Handling Guidelines
• Never set the transducer on a hard or rough surface. The urethane faces may be damaged.
• Use light amounts of silicone lubricant (such as 3M
4678-4930-3) on both the male pins and female socket to help seat the cable connectors. Wipe off
excessive silicone spray from the metal portions of the pins. Regular lubrication is required: Apply
dry type silicone lubricant prior to each connection.
• Disconnect the I/ O cable by pulling it straight away from the connector. Do not apply any upward
or angular force on the end-cap connector as the I/O cable is being disconnected. Stressing the
connector may cause the RiverPro/RioPro to flood.
• Do not over-tighten the locking sleeve on the I/O cable. The threads can strip.
• Do not expose the transducer faces to prolonged sunlight. The urethane faces may develop cracks.
Cover the transducer faces on the RiverPro/RioPro if it will be exposed to sunlight.
TM
Silicone Lubricant (Dry Type) ID No: 62-
• The I/O connector should not be exposed to extended periods of heat or direct sunlight. The plastic
may become brittle. Cover the connector on the RiverPro/RioPro if it will be exposed to sunlight.
• Do not store the RiverPro/RioPro in temperatures over 60 degrees C. The urethane faces may be
damaged.
• Do not scratch or damage the O-ring surfaces or grooves. If scratches or damage exists, they may
provide a leakage path and cause the RiverPro/RioPro to flood. Do not risk a deployment with dam-
aged O-ring surfaces.
• Do not lift or support a RiverPro/RioPro by the external I/O cable. The connector or cable will
break.
Assembly Guidelines
• Read the Maintenance section for details on RiverPro/RioPro re-assembly. Make sure the housing
assembly O-ring stays in the groove when re-assembling the RiverPro/RioPro. Tighten the hardware as specified. Loose, missing, stripped hardware, or a damaged O-ring can cause the RiverPro/Ri-
oPro transducer to flood.
• The RiverPro/RioPro I/O cable may be connected while slightly wet; do not connect under water.
Deployment Guidelines
• Read the WinRiver II Software User’s Guide or SxS Pro Software User’s Guide. These guides in-
clude tutorials on how to collect data.
• A compass calibration should be conducted at every new measurement location, and whenever
the RiverPro/RioPro mounting or adjacent ancillary equipment is changed 0r repositioned. A
properly calibrated compass is essential for conducting the Loop Moving Bed test, and for using GPS
data as the navigation reference.
• Avoid using ferro-magnetic materials in the mounting fixtures or near the RiverPro/RioPro.
Ferro-magnetic materials affect the compass.
