Part # Description Notes
4C CTD CONDUCTIVITY SENSOR - modular sensor (square wave output & isolated electronics), range 0 - 7 S/m, used with pumped CTDs. Includes complete documentation. Specify: housing (depth rating) selection.


Aluminum housing shown

SBE 4C is standard conductivity sensor supplied with SBE 9plus, 25, or 25plus CTD. Because it is typically used with a CTD, it is shipped with a Quick disconnect installed, making attachment to CTD plumbing quick & easy.

SBE 4C is shipped with Tygon tubing looped end-to-end around conductivity cell, to prevent dust & dirt from entering cell. SBE 4C is shipped dry to prevent conductivity cell damage from freezing.

See SBE 4M for conductivity sensor without Quick disconnect.

SBE 4C Housing (depth rating) Selections -- MUST SELECT ONE
4C-1 Aluminum housing, 6800 m depth rating

 

4C-2 Titanium housing, 10,500 m depth rating
SBE 4C Wet-Pluggable Connector Option
4C-3 Wet-pluggable (MCBH) connector instead of Standard (XSG) connector  
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 4C Spares & Accessories
17086 SBE 4 (Cond) or SBE 3 (Temp) to SBE 9plus/25 interface cable, 0.63 m (DN 30566) Cable for connecting SBE 3plus or 3F Temperature Sensor or SBE 4C Conductivity Sensor to SBE 9plus, 25, or 25plus CTD. Connector type (standard) must match sensor and CTD. For cable with wet-pluggable connectors, order PN 171669 (DN 32671) instead
50083.1 Aluminum TC Sensor Mounting Kit for SBE 9plus For mounting SBE 3plus or 3F Temperature Sensor and SBE 4C Conductivity Sensor on SBE 9plus, 25, or 25plus CTD.
90085 TC duct & plumbing kit for user installation (includes documentation) See Application Note 15: TC Duct Assembly and Plumbing Installation for details.
23557 Quick disconnect connector, for 7/16" diameter tubing (connects to conductivity cell) 23557 mounts to tube fitting & connects to end of SBE 4C conductivity cell. When used with 23555 (below), provides quick disconnect for removing plumbing from conductivity cell (used on SBE 9plus, 25, or 25plus CTD).
23555 Quick disconnect connector, for 1/2" diameter tubing (inserts into Tygon tubing) 23555 snaps onto 23557 & attaches to Tygon tube plumbing, providing quick disconnect for removing plumbing from SBE 4C conductivity cell (used on SBE 9plus, 25, or 25plus CTD).
