SBE 37-SMP MicroCAT C-T (P) Recorder

The SBE 37-SMP pumped MicroCAT is a high-accuracy conductivity and temperature (pressure optional) recorder with Serial interface (RS-232 or RS-485), internal batteries, Memory, and integral Pump. The MicroCAT is designed for moorings or other long-duration, fixed-site deployments.

Data is recorded in memory and can be output in real-time. Measured data and derived variables (salinity, sound velocity) are output in engineering units. Memory capacity exceeds 530,000 samples.

Battery endurance varies, depending on sampling scheme. Sampling every 2-1/2 minutes, the MicroCAT can be deployed for 2 years (425,000 samples).

FEATURES

•Moored Conductivity, Temperature, and Pressure (optional), at user-programmable 6-sec to 6-hour intervals. •Integral pump.

•RS-232 or RS-485 interface.

•Internal memory and battery pack (can be powered externally).

•Expendable anti-foulant devices, unique flow path, and pumping regimen for bio-fouling protection.

•350 m plastic or 7000 m titanium housing.

•Seasoft©V2 Windows software package (setup, data upload, and data processing).

•Field-proven MicroCAT family, with more than 10,000 instruments deployed.

COMPONENTS

•Unique internal-field conductivity cell permits use of expendable anti-foulant devices, for long-term bio-fouling protection.

•Aged and pressure-protected thermistor has a long history of exceptional accuracy and stability.

•Optional strain-gauge pressure sensor with temperature compensation is available in eight ranges (maximum depth 7000 m).

•Pump runs for 1 second for each sample, providing improved conductivity response and bio-fouling protection.

OPTIONS

•Plastic (350 m) or titanium (7000 m) housing.

•RS-232 or RS-485 interface.

•No pressure, or strain-gauge pressure sensor in one of 8 ranges.

•XSG or wet-pluggable MCBH connector.

•Wire mounting clamp and guide or brackets for mounting to a flat surface.
