Description

The Cable Fox Model (CFX) is HyQuest Solutions latest towing system for manual measurement of stream flow with an ADCP or surface velocity radar device. The electric motorized carriage can be easily installed on new or existing cableways. Via a radio remote control, the user controls the carriage with an attached ADCP or velocity radar device across the cableway.

Thanks to the powerful motorization and the cable hoist provided, the Cable Fox can position the measuring instrument at fixed measuring points across the stream cross-section or use the ‘moving boat’ method for ADCP measurements with the variable speed control feature.

Cableways fitted with the Cable Fox do not need a permanently installed motor as the Cable Fox has an onboard DC powered motor.

The large range of the remote control (up to 400 m) allows operation even at very wide stream cross-sections.

Benefits

Variable traversing speed
Models for various main cable diameters
Hoist attachment to adjust tether line to raise and lower ADCP trimaran/board
Encoder for distance measurement across the stream section
Low power consumption
Frequency band: license-free ISM band
Auto retrieval feature brings the carriage back to the user/river bank, if the radio connection breaks. (except for EU models).
CE-compliant (all models)

Application Areas

The Cable Fox is especially suitable for towing and positioning of ADCP boats or velocity radar devices for ﬂow and discharge measurement.
