Instrument Installation in CB-40 Data Buoy
A water quality sonde or other instrument can easily be installed in the 4″ deployment pipe of the CB-40 buoy by removing the top cover. IMPORTANT – BEFORE FIELD DEPLOYMENT: Completely configure and test the internal logging of the sensor. Confirm that the batteries will provide adequate power for the duration of the deployment. Ensure […]
CB-40 Data Buoy Overview
The CB-40 data buoy is a simple, compact platform for deploying water quality sondes and other instruments that integrate power and data logging. It features an integrated 4″ diameter stainless steel slotted instrument pipe and supports mounting of an optional 1-3 nautical mile light for deployment in navigable waters. Key Components and Definitions Buoy […]
Setting Gain on a mV-485 Adapter
Some analog sensors, such as a Turner Designs Cyclops-7 fluorometer, have different gain settings that allow the sensor to achieve high accuracy across a wide range of concentrations. When used with a mV-485 adapter, the gain setting is controlled within the adapter and can be changed using the process described below. Establish a connection to […]
Setting Zero Offset on mV-485 Adapter
For many sensors with voltage outputs (e.g. 0-5 VDC), an output of 0 mV equates to a reference value of 0. However, some sensors, such as Turner Designs Cyclops-7 fluorometers, may still output a small voltage when placed into a standard with a reference value of 0 (e.g. DI water). Since this voltage is very small, […]

G2/V2 Data Logger Terminal Commands
All G2 (G2-RAIN & G2-EXO) and V2-series (iSIC-V2 & SDL-V2) data loggers respond to common commands that can be sent through a hyper terminal via a NexSens UW6-USB-485P USB cable. These commands provide the internal information programmed on the data loggers, enable communication with WQData LIVE, and allow detection and direct communication with connected sensors. Before […]
