Casabel Data Sheet

Casabel Deep Sub Surface Mooring Marker:

The Casabel Iridium Satellite Mooring Location Beacon continuously monitors for unplanned or accidental release of subsurface instrument moorings. Casabel makes use of the bi-directional, global, real time Iridium Short Burst Data (SBD) service in combination with GPS. Oceanographic and environmental instrument mooring professionals have greater control in instantly and accurately locating and recovering high value, free drifting mooring assets at sea.

  • Real-time Iridium/GPS satellite communication

  • Global bi-directional communication control

  • Rated to 6000m deployment depth

  • Instantaneous alert

  • Reliable Benthos® glass sphere instrument housing

  • LED visual on/off indicators

  • Iridium downlink signal activation

   

Sable Data Sheet

 SABLE Sub Surface Mooring Marker:

The Sable Subsurface Iridium Satellite Mooring Location Beacon continuously monitors for unplanned or accidental release of subsurface instrument moorings. Sable makes use of the bi-directional, global, real time Iridium satellite Short Burst Data (SBD) network in combination with GPS position location. Oceanographic and environmental instrument mooring professionals have greater control in instantly and accurately locating and recovering high value, free drifting assets at sea. Sable’s sleek tubular design allows it to be easily retrofitted into subsurface flotation such as syntactic foam.

  • Global bi-directional communication control

  • Durable titanium housing with delrin end caps.

  • Rated to 1200m deployment depth

  • Instantaneous alert

  • Real-time Iridium satellite communication

MELO Data Sheet

MELO  Surface Mooring Marker:    

Melo is an independently powered, self-contained satellite transceiver packaged in a ruggedized, UV protected marine grade housing suitable for attachment to various surface buoys and navigational markers. Melo makes use of the low power, real time Iridium satellite constellation and GPS to reliably transmit the buoy's position automatically or on demand at any time. Melo’s one piece, user replaceable battery pack is designed to provide three years of normal reporting or over 3000 bi-directional messages. Melo data is delivered via the email-based Short Burst Message (SBD) Iridium service making Melo easy to use and less expensive than traditional one-way satellite watch circle services.

  • Command and control functions to acquire location on demand and reconfigure reporting schedule
  • Melo PC software console allows users to easily generate and manage messages
  • No need for traditional time consuming radio direction finding
  • Received GPS position pinpoints the beacon accurately
  • O-ring sealed end cap for quick access to replace batteries
  • Internal pull-out chassis to easily service
  • Low cost SBD Iridium service
  • Remote internet data via 9505A SDB enabled sat phone
  • Waterproof housing to 10 m
  • Battery life meter expressed in percentage

    FRESNO Data Logger:    

    The Fresno line of data loggers are specifically designed for demanding environmental and industrial applications. Fresno is a compact temperature or temperature and pressure recorder. Fresno is deployed to fill various scientific data collection requirements such as in streams, lakes and oceanographic applications as well as industrial applications such as drinking water supply, waste water monitoring and perishable food, drug and medical supply transportation and storage. Fresno loggers are available in delrin acetal and titanium housings. Each Fresno logger is calibrated to exacting standards and is fully tested for reliable measurement. All Fresno loggers make use of a rechargeable battery system meaning no need for battery replacement resulting in savings and no semi-sealed access points which can fail. The Fresno logger also makes use of short-range wireless and USB technology for fast and reliable initialization and downloading of collected data.

    • High data rate radio download and programming
    • Rechargeable Li-Ion battery with 10 year life
    • Durable titanium and delrin housing
    • Rated to 2000m depth
    • USB data transfer and recharge unit in one
    • 1 million records stored in 2MB Flash Memory
    • Windows PC software
    • 16–bit measurement resolution

     

     

     
       

    SERRANO Data Sheet

    Serrano:   Marine Bio-telemetry Video Recording TDR:     

    Serrano is a digital video recorder with an integrated Temperature and Depth Recorder (TDR) suitable for attachment to large marine animals such as leatherback turtles. Serrano is intended for short, in-situ, intensive behavioural studies. Serrano incorporates a 900MHz spread spectrum two-way radio transceiver for command and control functionality within line of sight from an at-sea base station. Serrano also makes use of a unique, one touch, radio-controlled function that automatically releases the tag from its subject upon receiving the remote radio command. The very low light CCD camera sensor provides Serrano with the capability to overcome poor light level conditions.

  • High resolution temperature and depth recorder with internal data logging (2MB)
  • Video recorded on removable secure digital miniature memory card (2GB)
  • Self-righting buoyancy for maximum antenna horizon during recovery
  • Quick change “flashlight-like” battery compartment for in-situ user replacement
  • 900MHz spread spectrum radio transceiver with GPS
  • Release-on-command radio controlled floodable suction cup
  • Up to 4 hours of colour video recording time at 30 fps
  • Available without video
  • Easily separated two-piece design for quick in-situ servicing
  • Corrosion-resistant Delrin plastic housing
