Replacement batteries for the 37 Microcat family are available from multiple retailers online, as Seabird Scientific recommends that Saft AA LS14500 3.6V lithium cells be used as the primary batteries. If this brand is not available in your area please reach out to...
Seabird does not manufacture seacables for scientific winch systems and does not specify or endorse any specific cable material. The entire cable assembly must meet the following criteria: A single or multi-core armored cable up to 10,000 meters (32,800 feet) long; an...
The recommended nominal flow rate is 1 liter/second (15.8 gallons/minute).
The pH sensor will be shipped dry but was pre-conditioned in seawater (generally from Pacific Ocean waters near Hawaii). While conditioning and evaluating the pH sensor, only expose it filtered, sterilized natural seawater. Do not use seawater CRMs (Certified...
Cells that have been contaminated with foreign material generally read low of the actual conductivity. Your zero (in air) conductivity reading is generally unaffected. The conductivity error due to fouling will generally be proportional to the conductivity value....
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; however, having the copper shutter...
The SeaFET and SeapHOx systems are designed to sample at a fixed depth. If you want to run discreet samples at depth intervals, you will need to find a way to move the system to a specific depth before each sample interval and stop the descent / ascent for the entire...
The nominal control voltage for the relay is 12 VDC. However, between 5 - 30 VDC will work, applied to pin 4 relative to the ground pin 2 on the Deep SUNA V2. The voltage can be applied to the relay any time after external power is applied to the instrument for a...
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...
There are two ways the Navis float can start a mission without the user explicitly starting pressure activation or mission execute: (1) Not freezing the float: If the float is not frozen (I F command) before the communications dongle is removed, the float controller...
Welcome to the Sea-Bird Swell – our monthly newsletter that gives you the latest on what’s happening at Sea-Bird Scientific and the broader oceanographic community. Introducing Our New Software: Fathom Earlier this month, we released our new SBS Fathom software! Our...
Our Moored pH Systems Ocean pH plays a critical role in the health of the global ocean due to the short timescales relevant to biological activity. With recent studies highlighting the impacts of acidification on the carbon cycle as well as on coral, shellfish,...
