Foldable Trimaran Vessel & Wireless Data Radio Modem
FT12-T900D is a foldable unpowered trimaran survey float system, consisting of FT12 foldable trimaran and T900D integrated wireless data radio modem. Equipped with ADCP, it measures flow velocity and discharge in streams, rivers, lakes and coastal waters.
The foldable-portable hull accesses waters unreachable for ordinary vessels, shortening field operation time and protecting operators, with GPS positioning and data processing supported. The matched T900D radio works on reliable 900 MHz frequency band. Ship‑side unit integrates battery, battery‑level indicator and power switch for quick deployment without complicated wiring. It features waterproof construction, visible battery & signal status. The shore‑side unit adopts USB power supply for low‑cost maintenance. High-precision positioning and attitude devices such as GPS and compass are optional for upgrade.

Specifications
Applications
- River Hydrological Monitoring
ADCP discharge measurement for medium‑small rivers and flash‑flood sections, keep operators away from dangerous wading conditions. - Lake & Reservoir Survey
Velocity and discharge distribution observation in lakes and reservoirs, suitable for backwater zones and shallow‑water shoals. - Coastal & Estuarine Measurement
Hydrological survey in near‑shore harbor and estuary areas, shallow‑water underway ADCP measurement. - Emergency Flood Response
Rapid deployment for flood‑season emergency discharge monitoring, adapted to high‑flow flood conditions. - Scientific Research & Education
Field hydrodynamic observation for hydrology research institutes and universities.

Advantages
- Higher‑efficiency & Safe Field Operation Works with ADCP for velocity‑discharge measurement. Reduces field‑work time, keeps operators out of dangerous wading water. Access shallow‑water zones unreachable by conventional boats. GPS positioning and data‑processing functions supported.
- Foldable & Light‑weight Trimaran Hull Foldable structure for easy transport & fast site deployment. Tolerates flow velocity up to 5 m/s, stable under flood‑flow conditions. Well‑suited for medium‑small rivers and emergency hydrological missions.
- Highly‑integrated T900D Wireless Data Radio Modem Ship‑side built‑in lithium‑ion battery, capable of powering ADCP directly. Eliminates complicated on‑site wiring for instant startup. 902‑928 MHz frequency‑hopping radio, transmission range>2 km with strong anti‑interference performance.
- Visual Status Feedback for Easy On‑site Troubleshooting LED indicators for ship‑side battery level and shore‑side signal strength. Facilitates antenna adjustment and quick field fault diagnosis.
- Low‑maintenance Shore‑side Unit Shore‑side unit powered by Type‑C USB without internal battery, minimizes battery‑replacement maintenance. Wide temperature & humidity range adapts to harsh outdoor conditions.
- Flexible Expandability Optional GPS and compass for synchronized position & heading‑attitude data to satisfy diverse hydrological survey requirements。
