The site consists of three antennas in series, installed in pass-through configuration. Each antenna spans the wetted width of the channel and is powered by a Biomark IS1001 (ACN). The ACNs are connected to a QST/Biomark QuBE ACN controller. The antennas were built and installed by WDFW. The site is connected to grid power to charge the battery bank that powers the detection system. A cellular modem is installed on site to provide remote communication and allow for automated data collection.
