| 43 | DISSOLVED OXYGEN SENSOR - Sea-Bird polarographic membrane sensor for pumped CTD applications, 0-5 volt temperature-compensated oxygen signal. Includes plenum & complete documentation. Specify: housing/connector and Profiling or Mooring configuration selections. |
|
||||
| SBE 43 Housing and Connector Selections -- MUST SELECT ONE | ||||||
| 43-1a | 7000 m titanium housing, Standard (XSG) connector |
SBE 43 is available in titanium (7000 m) or plastic (600 m) housing.
A 10,500 m titanium housing is available on request; contact
Sea-Bird for details. Wet-pluggable connectors may be mated in wet conditions. Their pins do not need to be dried before mating. By design, water on connector pins is forced out as connector is mated. However, they must not be mated or un-mated while submerged. Wet-pluggable connectors have a non-conducting guide pin to assist pin alignment & require less force to mate, making them easier to mate reliably under dark or cold conditions, compared to our standard (Impulse XSG/RMG) connectors. Like standard connectors, wet-pluggables need proper lubrication & require care during use to avoid trapping water in sockets.

| SBE 43 Profiling or Mooring Selection -- MUST SELECT ONE | ||||||
| 43-2a | Profiling configuration (fast response membrane, includes dynamic response characterization) |
 43-2a
profiling configuration uses a 0.5-mil
thick
membrane.43-2b mooring configuration uses a 1-mil thick membrane, which has a slower response but is more rugged. See Application Note 64 for information on response times for each membrane. |
||||
| 43-2b | Mooring configuration (rugged membrane for enhanced long term stability, dynamic response characterization omitted) | |||||

| 171491 | SBE 43 interface cable (9plus), Standard connectors, 0.7 m (DN 32496) |
These interface cables are compatible
with SBE 9plus, 19plus, 19plus V2, 25, or 25plus if connecting just SBE 43 to bulkhead connector. If
connecting 2 sensors to 1 bulkhead connector, a Y-cable is required
in place of one of these straight cables. Note: 172447 and 172448 are also used for integrating SBE 43 with SBE 16plus, 16plus-IM, 16plus V2, or 16plus-IM V2. However, for moored applications, Sea-Bird usually recommends SBE 63 Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor instead of SBE 43. |

| 801617 | SBE 43 Plenum Assembly, Version 2, Black Acetal | In 2007, Sea-Bird began transitioning from using white plastic parts to black plastic parts for SBE 43, to minimize exposure to light, improving resistance to bio-fouling. Currently, all plastic on both plastic housing & titanium housing versions of SBE 43 are manufactured with black plastic. If desired, customers may retrofit existing SBE 43s. | ||||
| 50126 | SBE 43 mount kit for SeaCATs | Use 50126 for mounting SBE 43 to SBE 16, 16plus, 16plus-IM, 16plus V2, 16plus-IM V2, 19, 19plus, or 19plus V2 SeaCAT. | ||||

| 90087 | Universal plumbing kit (includes pump air release valve, Y-fitting, and tubing) -- Application note 64-1 | Application Note 64-1 details installation of plumbing for SBE 43 & pump on a CTD. | ||||
| 30388 | Tygon tubing, 1/2" ID x 3/4" OD, 2 m -- main plumbing |
|
||||
| 31450 | Tygon tubing, 1/2" ID X 3/4" OD, 2 m, Black -- main plumbing, minimizes light exposure | 31450 can be used in place of 30388 plumbing tubing to minimize exposure to light, improving resistance to bio-fouling for moored applications. Beginning in 2007, Sea-Bird is using this black tubing on all new moored instruments (SBE 16plus/16plus V2 and 16plus-IM/16plus-IM V2 CTDs) that are integrated with an SBE 43. If desired, customers may field retrofit plumbing on existing systems. | ||||
