NMEA 0138 sensors not already listed in the X2 sensor script library can be configured to communicate with the X2 by generating a generic NMEA 0138 script. Connect the X2 logger to a PC and launch the CONNECT software. Test connection by reading the RTC clock of the logger in the CONFIG tab. On the […]

Checking Sensor Parameter Readings Using SDI-12
If iChart ever reads data input by a sensor as “-100000” it will be necessary to verify if the sensor is reading incorrectly. The problem may be elsewhere and completing these steps may rule out sensor failure and save on costly repairs. Make sure the sensor is connected and adequate power is applied to the […]
Buoy Ballast Weights
The table below indicates the minimum recommended buoy ballast weights for each NexSens data buoy, assuming no additional topside weight and calm environmental conditions. Included instrument cages mounted to the buoy frame help stabilize the buoy and provide a deeper location for mounting additional weight. The small model instrument cage (10 lbs.) is included with […]
Tool required to open sensor deployment pipes
The deployment pipe covers on all CB-Series buoys can be opened using a 5/16″ Allen key or hex driver.
Replace a Desiccant in a G2-RAIN Data Logger
Each G2-RAIN ships with a bag of desiccant placed underneath the data logger circuit boards. This desiccant bag should be replaced whenever: The G2-RAIN-RTU enclosure is opened. The Internal Humidity diagnostic parameter reads 40% or greater. Any appropriately sized desiccant pack (the included pack is 2.8″x 1″ for reference) can be used as a replacement. […]
