Ocean Monitoring Instruments

Monitor marine environments with ocean sampling & analysis

OceanPack™ RACK

marine monitoringThe OceanPack™ RACK is an autonomous marine monitoring system with a classic FerryBox design in a 19″ rack format. It can be installed in a wide variety of vessels, including research USV and environmental monitoring platforms.

Almost any oceanographic sensor can be integrated into the system, including pCO2, SST, SSS and algae sensors, as well as other devices such as nutrient analyzers, water samplers, weather stations and GPS receivers.

Up to 30 serial devices can be connected simultaneously, and this can be expanded via an optional RS485 bus. Data is recorded on SD cards and can be retrieved via USB.

OceanPack™ CUBE

ocean monitoringThe OceanPack™ CUBE is a compact ocean monitoring system with a standard 19″ form factor, designed for scientific and environmental observation vessels. It features an internal sea-water pump, allowing it to be installed above or below the waterline.

The integrated 7″ touchscreen allows user-friendly control of the system. Up to 8 sensors or other serial devices can be connected, and data is recorded on SD cards and retrieved via USB.

The OceanPack CUBE comes with a robust flight case for safe and convenient transport.

OceanPack™ RACE

ocean analysisThe OceanPack™ RACE is a mobile and robust water monitoring system that has been specially optimized for racing vessels, with a compact footprint and low power draw. With a lightweight carbon frame and a removable display and control panel, it includes a pCO2 analyzer and a thermosalinograph as standard.

Data can be transmitted in real-time via the vessel’s on-board system, or with an optional satellite or RF transmitter. pCO2 data can be optionally referenced with standard gases, allowing qualified data to be recorded in the SOCAT database.

OceanPack™ BUOYsea water analysis

The OceanPack™ BUOY is a compact pCO2 analyzer designed to provide precise measurements in shallow water. Easy to setup and maintain, the unit can be installed on even very small marine monitoring platforms and can be left unattended for several months.

The system can be equipped with a data logger, allowing other sensors such as CTD, dissolved oxygen, pH, gas and nutrient analyzers to be installed. The raw, calibrated and processed data is saved and transmitted in real-time.

Subsea NetDI® Logger

ocean measuring instrumentsThe Subsea NetDI® Logger is a versatile data logger with an optional Li-Ion battery and titanium housing options that can withstand operation down to 6000m, allowing the unit to be installed in deep-sea AUV and ROV. With a low power consumption and a configurable output rate, the Subsea NetDI® Logger is ideal for long underwater deployments.

The unit provides four sensor inputs and one host data output, and an optional expansion bus allows up to 30 serial devices to be connected. SD cards up to 32GB can be used to store data, allowing years’ worth of high-resolution measurements to be recorded.
