Description

Multiparameter probe CTD90M

The CTD90M is a high quality, high accuracy multi parameter probe for oceanographic and limnologic measurement of physical, chemical and optical parameters with up to 9 sensors and for maximum depth up to 6000 m.
Data are stored in a standard flash memory card with a capacity limited to 128 Mbytes by the internal firmware. Up to 3 000 000 CTD data sets can be recorded on this memory. The actual number depends on the selected storage options and the number of sensors adapted to the probe.

The CTD90M allows operation in different modes:

  • Continuous mode: each data set is stored.
  • Time mode: data sets are only stored at programmable intervals with several selectable schemes.
  • Increment mode: data sets are stored at programmable depth increments, up to 255 files can be stored without the need for data retrieval in between.
  • Online mode (RS-232).

The CTD90M is equipped with a 16 channel data aquisition system with 16 bit resolution. A high long-term stability and automatic self-calibration of the analogue digital converter guarantees stable and precise CTD measurements for many years.

The supplied Standard Data Acquisition Software package “SST-SDA” includes the handling of the logging process and the display of online or recorded data with a shared graphic user interface. The “SST-SDA” is a part of our shipment.

The power supply of the probe is activated by touching a reed contact with a magnetic rod, LED displays power supply status and optical control of memory access.

The data transfer and the power supply of the probes over longer cables (up to 6000 m) is carried out when using multi-conductor cables (at least 4-wire) via a serial interface (RS-485) or when using a “single-conductor cable” (steel cable with internal conductor) via the FSK- Interface (Freqency Shift Keying).

For shorter cable lengths (up to 500 m) the RS-232 interface can be used. It is also used to configure and readout the data memory.

If the probe is equipped with a USB interface, it is recommended to read the stored data via this interface, since a shorter read-out time can be achieved. The cable length of the USB interface should not be longer than 5 m.

The probes are provided with a program (SDA) for the configuration, readout of stored data, numerical and graphical representation of the data and storage of data for all probes in online or memory mode.
