| definition |
A water body temperature sensor. It is designed for moorings or other long-duration,
fixed-site deployments, as well as deployments on nets, towed vehicles, or ROVs. It
uses an aged and pressure-protected thermistor that is available in two configurations:
embedded in titanium endcap (25-sec time constant) for rugged conditions, or external
thermistor in pressure-protected sheath (0.5-sec time constant) for fast sampling.
It can be fitted with an optional strain-gauge pressure sensor with temperature compensation
available in eight ranges (maximum depth 7000 m). Sensor housing is either PET plastic
or titanium. The temperature sensor has a measurement range of -5 to +45 deg C, an
accuracy of +/- 0.002 (-5 to +35 deg C) or +/- 0.01 (+35 to +45 deg C) and a depth
rating of 600 m (plastic) or 10,500 m (titanium).
