Part # Description Notes
3S OCEANOGRAPHIC TEMPERATURE SENSOR - 500 ms (Slow) time response, modular sensor (square wave output). Includes complete documentation. Specify: housing (depth rating) selection.


Aluminum housing shown

SBE 3S is a slow response temperature sensor, intended for moored applications.

For faster response sensors for profiling applications, see SBE 3plus for premium temperature sensor supplied with standard SBE 9plus CTD, and see SBE 3F for standard temperature sensor supplied with SBE 25 CTD.

SBE 3S Housing (depth rating) Selections -- MUST SELECT ONE
3S-1 Aluminum housing, 3400 m depth rating

 

3S-2 Aluminum housing, 6800 m depth rating
3S-3 Titanium housing, 10,500 m depth rating
SBE 3S Wet-Pluggable Connector Option
3S-4 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.
