TriOS NICO UV Nitrate Sensor: X2 Integration Guide

The TriOS NICO UV Nitrate Sensor is an in-situ UV photometer that measures nitrate in lakes/rivers, drinking water, and wastewater applications. Nitrate is measured using the common principles of UV optical absorption utilized in laboratories worldwide. The sensor is compatible with the X2 data logger over the RS-485 sensor interface using the Modbus-RTU communication protocol. […]

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. Cold or excessively fluctuating storage temperatures can weaken the PVC joints of the deployment pipes. Ensure the vent is clear of all obstructions. […]

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 […]
