SBE 16plus V2 SeaCAT CT(D)

SeaCATplus Version 2 Conductivity & Temperature (pressure optional) Recorder - Includes 64 MB memory, serial interface, 6 differential A/D channels (0 - 5 volt input range), 1 RS-232 data input channel, AF24173 Anti-Foulant Devices, data I/O extension cable, data I/O cable, Seasoft software, & complete documentation.

• 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)

Pressure sensor is installed in connector end cap, & is not field replaceable / swappable. While highest pressure rating gives you most flexibility in using 16plus V2, 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 psia (1400 m) & 6000 psia (4200 m) sensors:

• 2000 psia (1400 m) sensor:
  initial accuracy = 0.28 m (= 0.02% * 1400 m)
• 6000 psia (4200 m) sensor:
  initial accuracy = 0.84 m (= 0.02% * 4200 m)

Wet-pluggable connectors may be mated in wet conditions. Their pins do not need to be dried before mating. By design, water on connector pins is forced out as connector is mated. However, they must not be mated or un-mated while submerged. Wet-pluggable connectors have a non-conducting guide pin to assist pin alignment & require less force to mate, making them easier to mate reliably under dark or cold conditions, compared to XSG/AG connectors. Like XSG/AG connectors, wet-pluggables need proper lubrication & require care during use to avoid trapping water in sockets.

 
These selections include extender & data I/O cable compatible with data I/O - pump bulkhead connector.

SBE 5M pump is intended for providing pumped conductivity only. Pump provides better conductivity response & anti-foulant protection than non-pumped configuration. SBE 5M pump with plastic housing is supplied for 16plus V2 with 600 m housing; SBE 5M pump with titanium housing is supplied for 16plus V2 with 7000 or 10,500 m housing.

Larger, more powerful SBE 5P or 5T is required if also planning to pump auxiliary sensors (such as dissolved oxygen, etc.). Operational characteristics of SBE 5P & 5T are identical. SBE 5P plastic pump is supplied for 16plus V2 with 600 m housing; SBE 5T titanium pump is supplied for 16plus V2 with 7000 or 10,500 m housing.

Data I/O - Pump bulkhead connector on 16plus V2 is standard, so pump can be added in field without requiring any modifications to 16plus V2. SBE 5M or 5P/5T selection includes pump (with same connector type as 16plus V2), pump mount, & data I/O - pump Y-cable (cable compatible with connectors on 16plus V2 and pump). See cable DN 31551 for XSG/AG connectors, DN 32896 for wet-pluggable connectors.

• Intake end of conductivity cell
• Exhaust end of conductivity cell, when 16plus V2 is not pumped

• Exhaust end of conductivity cell when 16plus V2 is pumped, for connection of Tygon tubing
• Intake end of conductivity cell during cleaning and storage only, to allow you to connect Tygon tubing for flushing plumbing

Notes:

• Sea-Bird does not supply Electrochem lithium batteries; you must purchase them elsewhere (see WGT's website for purchasing information). Shipping restrictions apply for Electrochem lithium batteries & assembled battery packs.
• Lithium battery packs cannot be used with a 16plus V2 that is integrated with SBE 5T or 5P pump, because of current limitations. They can be used with a 16plus V2 with no pump, or with an SBE 5M pump.
