Aanderaa Component
Wave and Tide Sensor
Pressure-based wave and tide smart sensor outputting wave height, period and spectrum parameters for seabed or fixed-structure installations.
Description
The 5218 wave and tide sensor mounts on the SeaGuard top-end plate or connects to SmartGuard via AiCaP CANbus or RS-232; the 5218R uses RS-422 for long cables. It is based on a silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor processed by a Digital Signal Processor and is used in seabed installations in shallow water or on fixed structures.
Key features
- Outputs tide level and pressure, significant and maximum wave height, mean, peak and energy periods, mean zero-crossing period, steepness, irregularity of sea state and wave spectrum
- Power 5 to 14 VDC, 50 mA max
- 2 Hz and 4 Hz sampling, 256 to 2048 samples
- 5218 range 400 kPa / 1000 kPa (max depth 30 m / 90 m)
Applications
Navigation safety in ports, at bridges and in fairways, marine operations and modelling.
