The CB-650 data buoy offers a compact platform with convenient tower mounting for met sensors, navigation lights, and radar reflectors. It is designed for deployment in lakes, rivers, coastal waters, harbors, estuaries and other freshwater or marine environments. Like all solar-powered NexSens CB-Series data buoys, it is a highly customizable platform that may be configured […]
The CB-450 data buoy is ideally suited for dredge turbidity monitoring, temperature profiling, dissolved oxygen monitoring, limnology research, and weather monitoring on inland lakes and protected coastal areas. Like all solar-powered NexSens CB-Series data buoys, it is a highly customizable platform that may be configured with NexSens or user-supplied electronics. It supports a wide variety […]
The CB-250 data buoy strikes a balance between compact and easy to deploy, yet buoyant and powerful enough to be deployed in larger water bodies including lakes, rivers, coastal waters, harbors, estuaries and other freshwater or marine environments. Like all solar-powered NexSens CB-Series data buoys, it is a highly customizable platform that may be configured […]
Although users may provide their own electronics, including data loggers, modems, and batteries, many CB-Series data buoys are delivered as complete, plug-and-play system packages with a NexSens data logger as the central component of the system. Data Loggers NexSens offers four different data logging systems for buoy deployment, all of which are based on the […]
Buoy deployments are usually complex operations that involve many elements including sensors, data loggers, mounting hardware, and mooring equipment. Careful planning and precautions are essential to the success of a buoy project, not only for system operation and data collection but also to ensure the safety of project personnel and minimize the risk of damage to […]
The CB-150 data buoy is a compact buoy platform designed for smaller water bodies, portable or short-term deployments, and applications requiring small, power-efficient sensors. It is ideal for deployment in lakes, rivers, coastal waters, harbors, estuaries, and other freshwater or marine environments. Like all solar-powered NexSens CB-Series data buoys, it is a highly customizable platform […]
CB-Series data buoys support a wide range of topside and subsurface instruments with uniquely designed buoy instrument mounts. Mounting accessories are available for many of the most commonly-used sensors and instruments. Click on each accessory name for product information and instructions for use. Topside Buoy Instrument Mounts GPS Receiver – Mounts for GPS positioning devices: […]
The NexSens buoy instrument cage attaches to the bottom of CB-Series buoys for water sensor deployments while simultaneously lowering the center of gravity and increasing stability. Model number CAGE is 39″ (99 cm) in length and is normally used with the CB-50, CB-150, CB-250, and CB-450 buoys. It is an optional accessory for the CB-50 […]
The NexSens CB-PTL Pass-Through Lid is used on NexSens CB-Series data buoys for custom integrations of user-supplied electronics. NexSens CB-Series data buoys with CB-PTL pass-through lids have optional bulkhead accessories for providing power, sensor connections, and telemetry to internal electronics. The pass-through lid includes (6) ports for sensor cables, a solar tower connection port, and […]
Sacrificial zinc anodes are recommended for use on CB-Series data buoys any time they will be used in saltwater environments. This helps to prevent corrosion on the stainless steel frame, as zinc is a more active metal that will be consumed while protecting the stainless steel. NexSens Sacrificial Anodes Anodes sourced from NexSens are sized specifically […]
