Real-time Temperature Sensor with RS-232 interface

bulky, expensive and failure-prone underwater electrical cables and connectors.
The XT or XTP sensors are ideal for expendable temperature profiling drifters, or remote thermistor chain profiling applications requiring high resolution profiles with high accuracy and stability. The sensors can output single measurements of temperature, pressure and tilt, or burst samples of pressure and 3-axis acceleration at up to 50 Hz for short intervals. Having a pressure sensor at the top and bottom of the chain and a tilt measurement at each sensor makes it possible to calculate the actual depth of each temperature measurement between the two pressure sensors, regardless of changing wire angle caused by currents or wind.
The XTP is small, lightweight and robust and can be positioned at any point on the wire to optimize sensor spacing. Users can easily re-position sensors to suit changing conditions.
The internal battery allows sampling every 10 minutes for 1100 days when new, or 750 days after 4 years of storage. Initial accuracy is ± 5 millidegrees. In a system with ten sensors sampling every ten minutes, the internal battery lasts about three years. The battery is not user serviceable, but can be replaced by S9 when the sensor is returned for calibration.

The Enduro solves deployment and handling problems commonly experienced using other moored sensors, and delivers a new standard of performance, ease of use and affordability. Using electronic technology common in cell phones helped reduce size and power requirements, and permitted a more compact and less costly mechanical design. Held in one hand during mooring assembly, Enduro installs concentrically on the mooring wire in seconds using a cordless driver. Its uniquely small tapered shape reduces dynamic stress on the mooring and fends off fishing lines or debris that might otherwise snag the instrument.
Removable Micro SDHC Memory Card
The removable memory (4GB) makes it easy to manage deployments of large numbers of sensors. Data is quickly retrieved by removing the card. Just open the housing, press the button, and when the green light flashes, remove the memory card. Sensor serial number, calibration data, start time and card removal time are automatically saved with the measurement data on the card. To prepare for the next deployment, just install a new card prepared with a set up file, and press a button next to the card socket. Enduro reads the configuration and flashes a green LED indicating the sensor is ready to go. Any setup problem is indicated by yellow flashes. The Enduro also includes a high-speed USB port for configuration setup and data download.
