CB-PTL Bulkhead Connector Assembly Installation
The NexSens CB-PTL Pass-Through Lid is used on NexSens CB-Series data buoys for custom integrations of user-supplied electronics. NexSens CB-Series data buoys with CB-PTL pass-through lids have optional bulkhead accessories for providing power, sensor connections, and telemetry to internal electronics. The pass-through lid includes (6) ports for sensor cables, a solar tower connection port, and […]
CB-Series Data Buoy Ballast Weight & Stability
Ballast weight may be needed to prevent overturning a CB-series buoy system and ensure stability in the water. The center of gravity of NexSens CB-Series buoys is near the water surface without instruments connected. Therefore, any top-side weight added above the water’s surface (e.g., sensors, sensor mounts) must be appropriately counterbalanced by ballast weight below the […]
