Whether the tau correction is applied depends on where the system is being deployed. If the system is to be used in shallow, coastal waters where large vertical gradients that change quickly are expected, the tau correction should be applied, as it accounts for the...
The measurement range and accuracy of the SBE43 are not defined in discrete units (mL/L, mg/L, µMol/L, etc.) Rather, the range and accuracy specification are expressed as a ratio of the calculated oxygen saturation point. This saturation value depends on the...
The JT4 bulkhead connector has two options a three pin connector and a four pin connector. If JT4 is a three pin connector, this indicates a standard connector configuration. If JT4 is a four pin connector, that means that the 9plus is configured for 9600 or 19200...
The measurement range and accuracy of the SBE43 are not definite in discrete units (mL/L, mg/L, µMol/L, etc.) Rather, the range and accuracy specification are expressed as a ratio of the calculated oxygen saturation point. This saturation value depends on the...
The command interface is different and not inter-compatible for both devices. The sampling and configuration commands are also not inter-compatible. Because of this, they require different software (i.e. SeaFETCom for V1, UCI for V2). The SeaFET/SeapHOx V1 has native...
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...
The ECO-PAR, due to the nature of PAR sensors, cannot be accurately calibrated outside of the Sea-Bird facility. However, there are some functionality tests that can aid in pre-deployment. A bright flashlight can validate whether the instrument sees light at all. On a...
Lithium battery packs are not suitable for use with 16plus units that have the 5T or 5M pumps installed as the drain on the battery is significantly higher. This effect causes deployments to be shorter and is not reflected in the SBE Deployment Endurance software,...
When your max lamp counts drop below 30,000 during the self test and cannot recover with cleaning, you can send the lamp in for inspection. If your lamp time remaining is less than 25% then it is best to send the SUNA in for a lamp replacement. We will automatically...
There are two optional modifications that can be done to your 9p at our facility (during service or as part of your original order) that will allow the 9p CTD to operate in freshwater deployments. The 9p's pump will not operate in freshwater without these options....
Sea-Bird Scientific is excited to be attending ADMT-24 in Hobart, Tasmania from October 23 - 27. The Argo Data Management Team Meeting is a time for the data managers who contribute to international Argo to come together and discuss technical matters pertaining to the...
