NexSens Solar Panel Photovoltaic Specifications
While reviewing an application, it is imperative to understand the balance between the solar power capabilities and the combined power requirements for the entire system. Although nominal voltage and amperage values are provided, the user must remember that solar panels and batteries perform differently depending on the environmental conditions at the final deployment location. A […]
CB-MCL Bulkhead Connector Installation
The NexSens CB-MCL Wet-Mate Lid is used on NexSens CB-Series data buoys for custom integrations of user-supplied electronics with marine-grade connectors on the outside of the lid. MCBH wet-mate bulkhead connectors provide power and sensor connections, while an RF bulkhead adapter facilitates integration of telemetry modems installed in the data well. The CB-MCL wet-mate lid […]
Custom Data Buoy Configuration Guide
While many NexSens data buoys are delivered as turnkey systems featuring a NexSens X2-CB or X2-CBMC buoy-mounted data logger, they are also designed to support custom integration of user-supplied, third-party electronics. The CB-Series data buoys from the CB-150 and larger are designed with an open data well in the center of the hull to facilitate […]
SonTek-SL Current Meter X-Series Integration Guide
Real-Time Water Velocity and Flow Measurements The SonTek-SL Series of Side-Looking Doppler Current Meters measures water velocity and calculates overall flow in streams, rivers, and other water bodies. The sensors are compatible with the NexSens X-Series data loggers using the SDI-12 sensor interface and communication protocol. Parameter data is transmitted, in real-time, at a user-specified […]
Water Monitoring Buoy Systems
Water monitoring buoys are an easy and cost-efficient way to conduct research and monitor water quality reliably, with highly accurate data.
Planning a Medium-Deep Water Mooring for Small Data Buoys
Note: NexSens Technology supplies mooring hardware to support user-designed systems but does not endorse any particular mooring strategy for any specific application and does not take responsibility for mooring performance or damage resulting from mooring failure. Medium-Deep Water Deployment Considerations While many medium-deep water (>100m depth up to approx. 1000m depth) monitoring projects require large […]
Performing a Measurement System Power Budget
Analyzing a measurement system power budget is a useful practice to help ensure that a proposed system design will meet the monitoring objectives and reliably deliver data. To aid with this, NexSens has developed a power budget tool which can quickly estimate the expected power performance of systems using the most common NexSens buoy platforms, […]
CB-Series Data Buoy Deployment Tips
NexSens Technology supplies mooring hardware to support user-designed systems but does not endorse any particular mooring strategy for any specific application and does not take responsibility for mooring performance or damage resulting from mooring failure. NexSens CB-Series Data Buoys The NexSens CB-series data buoys contain several mooring eyes on the underside of the buoy hull […]
CB-25-SVS Wave Buoy Overview
The CB-25-SVS Wave Buoy is a simple, compact platform that integrates the NexSens X2-SVS Wave Data Logger and the SeaView Systems SVS-603HRi wave sensor for both water and atmospheric observations. The SVS-603HRi sensor offers accurate measurements of wave height, period, direction, and more. Two additional sensor ports on the X2-SVS allow for further real-time observations […]
