Buoy Ballast Weights

The table below indicates the minimum recommended buoy ballast weights for each CB-Series data buoy, assuming no additional topside weight and calm environmental conditions. Included instrument cages mounted to the buoy frame helps stabilize the buoy and provides a deeper location for mounting additional weight. The small model instrument cage (10 lbs.) is included with […]

Data Buoy Storage Requirements

The following buoy storage requirements are required when storing a CB-Series data buoy with an X2-CB data logger: Storage Requirements Store the buoy in a dry environment that is kept above freezing. A climate-controlled location may be necessary. Extremely cold temperatures can negatively impact the performance of the batteries. Cold or excessively fluctuating storage temperatures […]

Verify Battery Voltage of a CB-Series Buoy

Use a DC volt/multimeter to verify the battery voltage of a CB-Series data buoy on the UW-6 (6-pin) SOLAR port on the data well top plate. This method works for both user-supplied battery systems with CB-PTL pass-through lid and NexSens-supplied CB-A01 and CB-A05 SLA battery systems. Measure the voltage between pins 3 (V+) and 4 […]
