NexSens announces new line of coastal data buoys

 

NexSens Technology is pleased to announce its new series of coastal data buoys. These robust buoys can withstand rough seas while providing a reliable platform for demanding data collection applications.

NexSens engineers approached these new designs with one goal in mind: Simplify installation, operation, and maintenance while building a robust platform that delivers years of service. The result is a totally new price-performance standard.

The buoys come in six models of varying buoyancy, ranging from 100 to 2,500 pounds. They are all built with indestructible stainless steel frames, advanced crosslinked polyethylene foam, and polyurea-coated hulls.

Data logging and wireless communication is accomplished with the field-proven SDL500 Submersible Data Logger. The SDL500 can come equipped with either radio, cellular, or Iridium satellite telemetry for a real-time uplink.

The SDL’s sensorBUS ports offer a plug-and-play interface for water quality, temperature, and water current sensors at multiple depths, along with topside weather sensors.

The lightweight CB-100, with 100-pound buoyancy can operate for months using just eight D-cell alkaline batteries. Other models are powered with integral solar power, allowing for long-term unattended deployments.

The models include the CB-100, CB-300, CB-500, CB-700, CB-1500, and CB-2500, offering 100, 300, 500, 700, 1,500, and 2,500 pounds of buoyancy respectively.

Models as large as the CB-700 can be deployed with a simple single-point mooring assembly. For larger platforms, mooring and solar power capabilities can be scaled to accommodate specific project needs.

With this large range of models and capabilities, NexSens coastal buoys can accommodate monitoring projects of any scale.
