OCEANOGRAPHIC DATA BUOY
Model ODB-48-1500
|
|
 The
SOSI Model ODB-48-1500 Oceanographic Data Buoys (ODBs) are provided in
standard or customized configurations with a variety of meteorological
and oceanographic sensors. Originally designed for harsh deployments in
the shallow lagoons of coral reef atolls in the Northwestern Hawaiian
Islands, they are ideally suited for programs where long-term
observation is required. The hulls are constructed of fiberglass and
polyurethane foam with an internal stainless steel frame. An integral
watertight compartment is used to hold the battery pack, data logger,
Argos transmitter (or Iridium modem) and other components. Aluminum
surface and subsurface masts are used to support the meteorological and
oceanographic sensors.
The ODB data logger is inherently flexible and is used to record data
and control the sensor and transmitter duty cycles. It has eight 24-bit
and four 16-bit analog channels, two RS-485, eight RS-232, and two SDI
serial ports, four digital inputs and four digital outputs. It also has
three +12 vdc, two +5 vdc, and two precision RTD outputs. The
ODB-48-1500 can be supplied with either an Argos transmitter or Iridium
modem. It can be upgraded with four additional 16-bit analog channels,
two RS-485 serial ports, four digital inputs and four digital outputs.
