Nortek Signature500 / Signature 1000
Built on the advanced AD2CP platform, Signature1000 and Signature500 are designed for unprecedented performance in high energy turbulent environments, while also giving users the freedom to employ two measurement schemes at one time. Altimeter data provides the user with a high-resolution distance measurement to the surface or the bottom.
