OSSI-010-003 Wave Gauge

 

OSSI-010-003 Wave GaugeThe Ocean Sensor Systems Wave Gauge has been designed to provide a high-resolution measurement of liquid surface height at a data rate of up to 30Hz. Uses include the measurement of waves, wakes, tides, sinkage, lake levels, pond levels, tank levels, pool levels. The instrument is capable of collecting and storing data for more than a year on standard compact flash cards. It can collect data continuously or in a burst sampling mode; sampling for short periods and then going into low power sleep mode. The instrument is self powered using 12 Alkaline C cells. The Wave Gauge is very robust with solid-state electronics sealed in a waterproof housing. There are three types of pressure transducers, Absolute, Gauge and Differential. Our unit uses a Gauge transducer. The gauge pressure is the total pressure, minus atmospheric pressure. So at sea level it reads zero. The instrument can be ordered in a variety of pressure ranges. Please see the data sheet available on our web site at www.oceansensorsystems.com for detailed information.
