Part # Description Notes
33 CAROUSEL DECK UNIT - Provides sea cable telemetry for real-time Carousel operation with SBE 19/19plus/19plus V2, 25/25plus, or stand-alone use without CTD. 115/230 VAC, rack-mountable. Includes A/D voltage input channel for Surface PAR sensor (QSR-2200 / QCR-2200 -- PAR sensor & cable not included), NMEA 0183 GPS interface, AC power cord, serial data cable, Carousel test cable (80915), NMEA interface test cable, Seasoft software, & complete documentation. (Note: SBE 33 is not required when SBE 32 is used with 911plus). SBE 33 provides real-time data acquisition & water sampler control for SBE 19, 19plus, 19plus V2, 25, 25plus, or 49 CTD with SBE 32 Carousel Water Sampler, or water sampler control for Carousel without CTD. SBE 32 Carousel Water Sampler requires optional sea-cable/serial data interface (SBE 32: 32-3b or -3e; 32C: 32C-3b or -3d; 32SC: 32SC-3a or -3c) for these applications.

 

SBE 33 also provides real-time data acquisition & water sampler control for SBE 19, 19plus, 19plus V2, 25, 25plus, or 49 CTD with SBE 55 ECO Water Sampler, or water sampler control for ECO without CTD. 

Notes: 

  • Optional auxiliary sensors on CTDs not shown.
  • Computer, slip-ring-equipped winch, conductive cable, & NMEA 0183 navigation device not supplied by Sea-Bird.
  • PAR data is appended to CTD data stream in SBE 33, & passed to computer for storage &/or display with CTD data. SBE 33 supplies 12 volts to power sensor. See Third Party portion of price list to order surface PAR sensor; see SBE 33 Spares & Accessories below to order cable.
  • Seasave version 7.19 or later also supports acquisition of data from a NMEA device connected directly to computer (instead of SBE 33 deck unit) for all CTDs shown.

SBE 33 Options
90227 Underwater Power & Data Interface Module, with standard connectors, used w/ SBE 36/33 & CTD, 6800 m (does not include CTD interface cable or mounting hardware) PDIM can be used with SBE 33 when CTD is used without an SBE 32 Carousel Water Sampler, to provide same power and data interface functionality as SBE 32 Carousel Water Sampler.

PDIM housing is anodized aluminum, & is rated to 6800 m. PDIM order includes sea cable extension cable & pigtail cable, dummy plugs, & jackscrew kit. To order PDIM mount kit & CTD interface cable, see SBE 36 Accessories & Spares.

PDIM connector type (standard or wet-pluggable) must match CTD connector type. Wet-pluggable connectors provide easy connectability in damp (e.g., rolling, slippery deck) or cold environments (standard connectors may not seal well in extreme cold; we recommend connecting cables in warm ship’s lab rather than on deck for these conditions). Wet-pluggable connectors are not meant for literally plugging cables in submerged underwater; both our standard connectors & wet-pluggable connectors must be mated in air.
