Details

Rugged
The MB-100 is designed for years of service and is built to withstand the roughest of seas in both surface and sub-surface applications. The data buoy's sturdy construction includes an inner core of cross-linked polyethylene foam, heavy polymer skin, and an indestructible stainless steel frame. All sensor connections are below the surface with ruggedized waterproof connectors. A wireless transmitter can be positioned above the water but hidden and protected under the buoy hood.

Easy to Deploy
A fully loaded system (with data logger and batteries) weighs just over 30 lbs. and is easily deployed by one person from any vessel. Simply attach a single-point mooring assembly and throw it overboard. The buoy will right itself and begin logging data immediately. If equipped with an optional communication package, it will start transmitting data via radio-to-shore, cellular, or Iridium satellite telemetry.

Versatile
The MB-100 data buoy is designed to accommodate NexSens SDL500 submersible data loggers. SDL500 data loggers interface with multi-parameter sondes, water quality sensors, temperature strings, Doppler velocity meters, and many other sensors. The SDL500 is configured with five sensor ports for connection to industry standard communication protocols. It supports SDI-12, RS-485, 1-wire, 0-2.5 VDC, pulse count, and digital I/O. With this interface versatility, the measurement possibilities are endless.

Affordable
A complete MB-100 monitoring system, including data logger and mooring equipment, is priced at a fraction of the cost of any system previously available. At this price point, a network of water monitoring buoys is feasible for many projects.
