Configuration Details

Photos of standard shipment.

SBE 49 can also be used with Sea-Bird's real-time data acquisition systems:

• SBE 49 can be deployed with SBE 36 CTD Deck Unit & Power Data Interface Module (PDIM), which provide power & real-time data handling capability over single-conductor sea cables. Order SBE 36 & PDIM separately.

• SBE 49 can be deployed with SBE 32 Carousel Water Sampler & SBE 33 Carousel Deck Unit &, which provide power, real-time data handling capability, & water sampler control over single-conductor sea cables. Order SBE 33 & SBE 32 (32, 32C, or 32SC) separately.

• SBE 49 can be deployed with SBE 55 ECO Water Sampler & SBE 33 Deck Unit, which provide power, real-time data handling capability, & real-time water sampler control over single-conductor sea cables. Order SBE 55 & SBE 33 separately.

Pressure sensor is installed in connector end cap, & is not field replaceable / swappable. While highest pressure rating gives you most flexibility in using SBE 49, it is at expense of accuracy & resolution. It is advantageous to use lowest range pressure sensor compatible with your intended maximum operating depth, because accuracy & resolution are proportional to pressure sensor's full scale range. For example, comparing 2000 & 7000 m sensors --

• 2000 m sensor:
  initial accuracy = 2 m (= 0.1% * 2000 m),
  resolution = 0.04 m (= 0.002% * 2000 m)
• 7000 m sensor:
  initial accuracy = 7 m (= 0.1% * 7000 m),
  resolution = 0.14 m (= 0.002% * 7000 m)
