RBRlegato⁴ C.T.D

Pump-free CTD for gliders and AUVs rated to 1250dbar, with multi-rate sampling up to 16Hz and 90% lower power than pumped CTDs.

Description

The RBRlegato⁴ C.T.D is optimised for gliders and AUVs and derives salinity, density and sound velocity. Its rugged inductive conductivity cell is unaffected by surface contaminants or freezing conditions.

Key features

  • CFD-optimised, low aspect ratio, self-flushing cell that needs no pump
  • Power draw of 46mW at 2Hz or faster and 18mJ/sample at 1Hz or slower; RBR states 90% lower than traditional pumped CTDs
  • Multi-rate sampling up to 16Hz; 1250dbar depth rating
  • Wet-bay and integrated configurations
  • Controls additional sensors such as the RBRcoda³ T.ODO, RBRtridente and RBRquadrante

Applications

Oceanographic payloads for underwater gliders and AUVs.
