Though the naming conventions may seem confusing at first glance, the following key should make your C-star configuration and purchasing process much easier! The letters following the serial number designate the depth rating of the transmissometer and the wavelength...
When using the SBE45 thermosalinograph (TSG) with an SBE38 remote temperature sensor, you must use an interface box, as the SBE45 has no direct input for the SBE38. The SBE21 TSG, on the other hand, does have a direct input for the SBE38 remote temperature sensor....
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...
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 several considerations when determining whether the deck box and CTD underwater unit will be compatible. (1) In most cases (with the exception being (2), below), instruments with the "-plus" designation are compatible with each other, but the "-plus"...
This depends on your own expertise and resources. We have extensive experience in integrating and supporting a wide range of auxiliary sensors, but not everything under the sun. We have a large list of commonly used sensors that we routinely offer for sale...
While the highest range does give you the most flexibility in using the CTD, it is at the expense of accuracy and resolution. It is advantageous to use the lowest range pressure sensor compatible with your intended maximum operating depth, because accuracy and...
Sea-Bird currently manufactures only 1 moored CTD that can accept auxiliary sensors, the SBE 16plus V2 SeaCAT (and its inductive modem version, the 16plus-IM V2). These instruments measure conductivity and temperature; a pressure sensor is...
Reintroducing the Shallow SeaFET™ V2 and Shallow SeapHOx™ V2! We are delighted to announce that we have restarted production and service of our cutting-edge Shallow SeaFET™ V2 and Shallow SeapHOx™ V2 pH sensors! After rigorous qualification, testing, and field...
Sea-Bird Scientific’s HydroCAT-EP V2 CTD Sensor Integrated onto Sonardyne’s Origin 600 ADCP Sonardyne has integrated Sea-Bird Scientific’s HydroCAT-EP V2 multiparameter CTD (conductivity, temperature, depth) sensor into an Origin 600 ADCP (acoustic doppler current...
