NexSens releases multi-point temperature strings

Temperature string

NexSens Technology has introduced a single cable, multi-point temperature-monitoring system, the TS110 Temperature String. Available with up to nearly one hundred sensors, the String can measure temperatures at selected points to a depth of 200 meters in fresh, brackish, or seawater, with a read time of 60 seconds.

The TS110 works in tandem with NexSens' iSIC data logger and iChart software to create easy-to-read, precise (+/- 0.1 C) data for use in environmental applications. Data can be transmitted via buoy-based data logger with telemetry capabilities for real-time monitoring.

The system can be configured to meet a variety of project specifications. Depth, number and positioning of sensors, data logger, and deployment systems can all be selected, creating an unlimited number of configurations.

Applications include thermal discharge monitoring, selective withdrawal gate control, lake and thermocline monitoring, and other aquatic research.

Currently, the TS110 is deployed at Stonewall Jackson Reservoir in West Virginia and Kinzua Reservoir in Northern Pennsylvania by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Army Corps uses data collected with the TS110 Temperature String to selectively withdraw water from the reservoirs and manage the water quality downstream of the dam.

NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory deployed two TS110 Temperature Strings in Western Lake Erie as part of their Great Lakes Observing Systems.
