The X2-CB has an innovative power design that allows for simple connectivity and interfacing with sensors on NexSens CB-Series buoys. Power Jumper CB-Series solar towers have a special UW-6 plug with a jumper built in that completes the circuit for the battery to supply power to the X2-CB data logger. The X2-CB will not receive […]
If an X2-CB data logger needs to be sent in for evaluation or repair, please reference the following steps for removal: Tools Required 9/16″ Socket Wrench Instructions Disconnect the 6-pin solar panel or UW-6 USB cable from the X2-CB/X2-CBMC SOLAR/COM port to remove power from the data logger. [For CB-150/250/450 buoys only] […]
CB-Series Buoys supplied with a CB-PTL Pass-Through Lid for integration of user-supplied electronics include a UW-6 power bulkhead connector (UW6-BULK) port on the lid. The UW6-BULK connects to the solar tower on the outside of the buoy and has bare wires with Molex connector on the inside of the data well. Information regarding the port […]
The minimum and maximum flash brightness settings of a M550 beacon are dependent on the configured flash code. For the 066 flash code typically set on NexSens-supplied beacons, the maximum effective intensity that can be set is 20cd as demonstrated by Carmanah’s table below. A complete listing of Flash Codes is available in Carmanah’s manual […]
Two solitary data buoys floating off the storm-tossed Lake Superior shore near Munising and Granite Island were sudden stars in 2017.
To make sure the currents are flowing properly the USACE uses a NexSens CB-450 Data Buoy with a Seatek Ultrasonic Ranging System.
There are many ways to deploy monitoring buoys, and many situations that might benefit from the monitoring power this kind of platform brings.
Lake Erie buoys have a host of unique challenges to meet as they help researchers and managers acquire the data they need to protect an iconic lake.
Monitor water quality and collect limnological data with lake buoys; keeping an eye on lake health year round for water managers, and many others.
