SBE 16plus V2 SeaCAT CTD

The SBE 16plus V2 SeaCAT is a high-accuracy conductivity and temperature (pressure optional) recorder designed for moorings or other long-duration, fixed-site deployments. It supports numerous auxiliary sensors including dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, fluorescence, oil-in-water, and PAR, with six A/D channels and one RS-232 data channel. It is well suited to networked sensor arrays where its operation can be triggered by satellite, radio, or hardwire telemetry equipment. Data is recorded in memory and can also be output in real-time in engineering units or raw HEX. Nine alkaline D-cells provide power for 355,000 samples of C and T.
