SBE 37-IMP MicroCAT C-T (Pressure optional) Recorder
Configuration Details

• Inductive modem interface
• Memory
• internal, integral Pump -- Pump provides improved conductivity response & improved anti-foul protection over 37-IM.

Communicating with 1 or more 37-IMPs requires use of Sea-Bird Surface Inductive Modem (SIM), which provides serial interface (RS-232 or RS-485) between user’s computer & up to 100 IM instruments coupled to single cable. Purchase SIM & optional Inductive Cable Coupler (ICC) separately.

Also see:

• SBE 39--IM for temperature and optional pressure recorder with inductive modem interface.
• SBE 16plus-IM V2 SEACAT for CTD with inductive modem interface and auxiliary sensor input capability.
• SBE 44 Underwater Inductive Modem to integrate an RS-232 sensor with Sea-Bird's inductive modem telemetry system.

SBE 37-IMP Mooring Clamp Wire Size Selections (Specify clamp to match O.D. of mooring wire jacket) -- MUST SELECT ONE

Thread for clamping to mooring cable:

• 37IMP-1a (1/4 in. diameter): 1/4-28 UNF
• 37IMP-1b (5/16 in. diameter): 5/16-24 UNF
• 37IMP-1c (3/8 in. diameter): 3/8-24 UNF
• 37IMP-1d (1/2 in. diameter): 9/16-12 UNC
• 37IMP-1e (6 mm diameter): 1/4-20 UNF
• 37IMP-1f (8 mm diameter): 5/16-24 UNF
• 37IMP-1g (10 mm diameter): 7/16 -14 UNF
• 37IMP-1h (12 mm diameter): 1/2-13 UNF
• 37IMP-1i (16 mm, 5/8 in. diameter): 5/8-18 UNF

Pressure sensor is installed in end cap, & is not field replaceable / swappable. While highest pressure rating gives you most flexibility in using 37-IMP, it is at expense of accuracy & resolution. It is advantageous to use lowest range pressure sensor compatible with your intended maximum operating depth, because accuracy & resolution are proportional to pressure sensor's full scale range. For example, comparing 2000 & 7000 m sensors --

• 2000 m sensor:
  initial accuracy = 2 m (= 0.1% * 2000 m),
  resolution = 0.04 m (= 0.002% * 2000 m)
• 7000 m sensor:
  initial accuracy = 7 m (= 0.1% * 7000 m),
  resolution = 0.14 m (= 0.002% * 7000 m)
