Plug in your ADCP, CTD, WQM, Aquadopp, SeaFET, or other serial instrument to communicate on real-time inductive moorings.

Connect Ulti-modem to a serial port on your buoy controller to communicate with all S9 or SBE inductive sensors or modems.

  • Powered by 1 AA lithium cell -- 8 MB backup memory
  • Easy to Use -- Easy on Your Budget
  • Transmit up to 19.2 kbaud to another Ulti-modem
  • Concentric on the wire -- streamlined to reduce stress and fouling

Underwater Ulti-modem

Ulti-modem Side View

The Ulti-modem enables ADCPs, CTDs, biogeochemical sensors, multi-parameter sondes, or other instruments having an RS-232 interface to communicate with moorings or platforms, or directly to shore using inductive telemetry. Data is transmitted using plastic-jacketed steel wire rope as the transmission medium, consuming very little power and eliminating failure prone underwater connectors and cables. S9's innovative dual-mode technology provides fast transmit capability (up to 19200 baud) when communicating with other S9 Ulti-modems, and also communicates with inductive modem products from Sea-Bird Electronics. The plastic housing with titanium face plate is rated to 1000 meters depth. Typical battery endurance is three years.
