What is the X2-SDLMC sensor port layout?

The X2-SDLMC sensor ports are labeled to outline the Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitters (UARTs) available on the data logger. The sensor ports on the logger are engraved with Sensor 1 and Sensor 2. These ports correspond to the traditional P0 (Sensor 1) and P1 (Sensor 2) ports on other X2 data logger models.

What is the X2-CBMC sensor port layout?

The X2-CBMC sensor ports are labeled to outline the (4) Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitters (UARTs) available on the data logger. These locations are critical to note for sensor detections; however, harsh deployment conditions may remove these labels. The following schematic outlines the sensor port’s location in relation to the vent, antenna, and 6-pin solar/com port. […]

Nortek Signature Series Serial Communication Cable.

Use a Terminal Emulator to Configure a Nortek Sensor

If unable to access the Nortek software, configuration settings required to interface the Signature with the X2 may be adjusted through a third party terminal emulator such as TeraTerm. Double-check the telemetry and cell configuration deployment settings through the third party terminal emulator and make changes where required. Connect the 8-pin MCIL plug of the […]

How do I repair a NexSens buoy hull?

Throughout multiple deployments, harsh conditions such as heavy debris loads, accidental collisions with boats and other equipment, and extreme UV exposure can damage a NexSens buoy hull. NexSens recommends the following for buoy hull repairs. For small cuts and gashes: Clean, dry and patch with 3MTM Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200. For repairing the yellow, polyurea […]
