I have used Triton-X in the past, is it still available? What kind of cleaning agents can we use to clean our conductivity cells and oxygen sensors?
Sea-bird Scientific no longer directly sells and ships Triton-X. Since January 4th,2021 Triton-X has been banned in the EU due to a key ingredient being a known endocrine disrupter. TERGITOL is a non-ionic surfactant which can be used as a substitute for Triton-X. It...
What is the endurance of the Thetis?
Our endurance is limited by the battery power and instrument configuration. We have demonstrated a 30 day endurance in testing offshore Newport, OR.
What is the profiling speed of the Thetis and is this configurable?
The Thetis profiling speeds are user configurable through the Sea-Bird Scientific Profiler Host software, and can be altered during any telemetry session during a deployment. The user can select profiling speeds ranging from 2 to 35 cm/sec.
What types of telemetry systems are supported for the AMP?
The most common telemetry system utilized is a FreeWave radio system. Transmission times for the science data are typically 20-30 seconds through the FreeWave modem when the receiver is within 3 km of the profiler.Other telemetry systems include a broadband...
When running my SUNA V2 on the bench, the data shows that the lamp is turning on and off. Why is this happening?
This is a safety feature of the instrument, whereby the lamp is turned off when its temperature reaches 35°C (95°F) to prevent damage from overheating. The SUNA continues to output dark frames while monitoring the temperature, and will restart the lamp once it has...
