SeaFETTM serial number 200 and higher can be integrated with an SBE 37-SMP-ODO to form a SeapHOxTM. When properly configured, the SeaFET will automatically correct pH with CTD temperature and salinity. If a 37-SMP-ODO is not available, or if you SeaFET is...
Application Note 83: Deployment of Moored Instruments contains a checklist, which is intended as a guideline to assist you in developing a checklist specific to your operation and instrument setup.
Mating and Unmating Connectors:It is important to prepare and mate connectors correctly, both in terms of the costs to repair them and to preserve data quality. Leaking connectors cause noisy data and even potential system shutdowns. Application Note 57:...
"The requirements of a GPS to enable data collection with Sea-Bird Scientific's SatView software are: 1. NMEA 0183 Output 2. Serial connection The SAS GPS option includes a prewired Garmin model GPS 17xHVS. This model is designed for marine use,...
Inspecting and Cleaning O-Rings and Mating Surfaces:Remove any water from the o-rings and mating surfaces with a lint-free cloth or tissue.Visually inspect the o-rings and mating surfaces for dirt, nicks, cuts, scratches, lint, hair, and any signs of corrosion; these...
Yes, the SeaFET™ pH sensor comes with a flow through cell with fittings that can be plumbed with a pump for flow-through operations. For in situ deployments, we recommend the SBE 5P submersible pump.
GeneralLarge numbers of Sea-Bird conductivity instruments have been used in Arctic and Antarctic programs.Special accommodation to keep temperature, conductivity, oxygen, and optical sensors at or above 0 C is advised. Often, the CTD is brought inside protective doors...
We recommend keeping the connectors on your meter lubricated using a good quality silicone spray lubricant, such as 3M Silicone Spray or Loctite 8021 spray. These can be purchased at your local hardware store. Avoid silicone grease. It is messy and attracts...
The most complete backup system would be another SBE 9plus, to allow for very rapid system swaps. This is important if your stations are close together and there is limited time between CTD casts. However, it is the most expensive option.The next step down would...
The base sensing suite includes a FastCat CTD, a combined fluorescence and turbidity sensor, and a PAR sensor. The current supported list of instruments for Thetis include: CTD: SeaBird FastCat CTD (SBE49) Dissolved oxygen: SeaBird SBE43 or SBE63 Chlorophyll: ...
