We do not specify a maximum line resistance. However, the Inductive Modem systems are very tolerant of the resistivity of seawater. It is typically only a consideration when the system is being deployed in freshwater lakes, etc. where the salinity level is a lot...
Lithium battery packs are not suitable for use with 16plus units that have the 5T or 5M pumps installed as the drain on the battery is significantly higher. This effect causes deployments to be shorter and is not reflected in the SBE Deployment Endurance software,...
There are two optional modifications that can be done to your 9p at our facility (during service or as part of your original order) that will allow the 9p CTD to operate in freshwater deployments. The 9p's pump will not operate in freshwater without these options....
SUNAs ordered with the 5mm path length coupler as a factory option will perform much better in low light transmission waters due to the shorter length the light needs to travel leading to less absorption. Equipping your SUNA with the factory bio-wiper option will also...
The ECO-PAR, due to the nature of PAR sensors, cannot be accurately calibrated outside of the Sea-Bird facility. However, there are some functionality tests that can aid in pre-deployment. A bright flashlight can validate whether the instrument sees light at all. On a...

Oftentimes one will see data in their cast that looks erroneous or out of spec, but reviewing the timeline of each cast and the events which transpired can explain these jumps. If you are starting your cast while your CTD is on deck then the time during which the unit...
The primary maintenance procedures that are outlined in the manual are for the bio-wiper (shutter) installation, the internal battery replacement and the bulkhead connector inspection. The shutter replacement is not always necessary, but, having the copper shutter and...
There are several considerations when determining whether the deck box and CTD underwater unit will be compatible.nn(1) In most cases (with the exception being (2), below), instruments with the "-plus" designation are compatible with each other, but the "-plus"...
