To determine a ‘dark count’ value or ‘offset’ for your ECO we recommend that the instrument be configured in as close a manner to the actual deployment mode as possible. This means the meter should be installed on the cage or logging system (CTD or other data logger),...
Here are a few generally applicable deployment recommendations and tips for the HydroCAT-EP: - Must be vertically deployed - High suspended sediment/turbidity may call for more frequent visits by the user - Need to purge the internal flow path - Sedimentation can take...
The SUNA V2 has capacitors that maintain internal power for to the electronics long enough for a proper shutdown process when external power is removed. However, these capacitors must completely discharge between power cycles, or else the SUNA may fail to properly...
The polled mode setting allows the user to program the SUNA to sample when a command is sent. Customers who would like to integrate an SDI-12 controller with their SUNA should use the polled mode setting. Please note that the SDI-12 operation is not available on SUNA...
Unfortunately, users cannot currently program their SUNA to start at a preferred time. As soon as the SUNA is powered, the instrument will begin it’s programmed sampling mode on the hour. Users can use the offset feature to change the start time. For example, an...
The continuous mode setting allows the user to program their SUNA to run continuously for an indefinite amount of time. When power is supplied to the SUNA, it will start data acquisition without an end time or maximum number of frames to measure. In general, we do not...
The periodic mode setting allows the user to select how often, and how long sample intervals are based on frame-based or time-based operation. For example, if a user would like to program their SUNA to sample every two hours, they would use a sample interval of two...
High humidity is often signs of a leak- the SUNA V2 is sealed at the factory and is not meant to be opened outside of service, and an internal desiccant should prevent any moisture left over after assembly from affecting the electronics. In the case that your self...
The SBE9/11+ system does not have the capability to support any instrumentation data or signals via its sea cable that are not directly connected to the SBE9+ CTD and associated carousels. There is a hardware upgrade on the 9/11+ system that provides a serial RS-232...
The lifespan of the probe is typically between 3 months and 2 years, depending on where and how often it is deployed, storage conditions, and the particular electrode performance. It is a good idea to periodically check the storage solution to make sure that it is...
