SeaGuard® PlatformSeaGuard Recorder platforms provides the user with the possibility to perform long term monitoring of sea and inland water using the latest technology for measurement.

Aanderaa Data Instruments SeaGuard Platform is a self recording instrument with storage on SD card. Storage capacity is more than adequate for any practical applications. The instrument is delivered with pressure case.

The SeaGuard Platform and the Aanderaa Smart sensors are interfaced by means of a reliable CANbus protocol (AiCaP), using XML for plug and play capabilities. The smart sensors can be mounted directly on the Top-end Plate or connected via cable to an Aanderaa SeaGuard Platform. During power-up, each of the sensors that are connected to the bus will report their capabilities and specifi cations to the Datalogger. The Datalogger then assembles the information and provides the user with the possibility to confi gure the instrument based on the present nodes.

Since all calibration and temperature compensation data are stored inside the sensor, the parameters are by default presented directly in engineering units without any external calculation.

It employs AADI sensors known for their long term calibration stability and unique non-stirring sensitive construction. The user may select between a wide range of framing and deployment features, real-time communication facilities and storage capabilities.

The Seaguard WLR is designed to measure tide (depth) and pressure.

SeaGuard Water Level Recorder measures hydrostatic pressure based on a silicon pressure sensor 5217. The pressure measurements are sampled and temperature compensated by an advanced Digital Signal Processor.

The SeaGuard WLR application areas are in fixed installations, either deployed in a seabed installation in shallow waters, or mounted onto a fixed structure in the upper water column. Typical applications for the sensor are measurements of tide in ports and harbours, marine operations, hydrography, weather forecast, and climate studies. Deployment time could be several years using the same internal battery.

The tide measurement is an average of the hydrostatic pressure measured over a time period of 10 seconds to 8 minutes (Integration time configurable by the user). The update interval is between 2 seconds and 2 hours.

The SeaGuard WLR output parameters are tide pressure, tide level, pressure and temperature. Tide levels are preliminary internally calculated estimates, based on fixed user selectable values of atmospheric pressure and water salinity. Compensation for actual atmospheric pressure and salinity can be postprosessed if such data is available. Tide pressure is an average of hydrostatic pressure over the integration time. The WLR also provides raw data of the pressure and temperature measurements.

Since all calibration and temperature compensation data are stored inside the sensor, the parameters are by default presented directly in engineering units without any external calculation. The WLR also provides raw data of the pressure and the temperature measurements. The SeaGuard WLR can be equipped with a Conductivity sensor for calculation of Salinity, Density and Sound of speed.

The SeaGuard WLR and the Aanderaa smart sensors are interfaced by means of a reliable CANbus protocol (AiCaP) using XML for plug and play capabilities. The smart sensors can be mounted directly on the Top end Plate or connected via cable to an Aanderaa SeaGuard and are automatically detected and recognized.

The instrument is available in two versions:StandardStandard version/Self-recording is instrument with internal data storage and battery power.

Real-time/High powerReal-time version can be used with internal data storage and battery power and/or with cable to shore with real-time data connection and external power. The Real-time/high power version has a slightly higher power consumption due to the voltage regulation of the input power. If the instrument is only to be used as a self-recording instrument we recomend the standard version.

A compact fully integrated sensor for measuring the O2 concentration.

Since oxygen is involved in most of the biological and chemical processes in aquatic environments and in the process industry, it is one of the most important parameters to be measured.

Monitoring the oxygen level is crucial in many applications, e.g. in:• Industry processes• Water and waste water systems• Ship tanks• Ballast water• Aquaculture• Fjords or other areas with limited exchange of water

The Aanderaa oxygen optodes are based on the ability of selected substances to act as dynamic fluorescence quenchers. The fluorescent indicator is a special platinum porphyrin complex embedded in a gas permeable foil that is exposed to the surrounding water. A black optical isolation coating protects the complex from sunlight and fluorescent particles in the water. This sensing foil is mounted on a sapphire window providing optical sampling from inside a watertight housing.

The lifetime-based luminescence quenching principle offers the following advantages over electro-chemical sensors: • Not stirring sensitive (it consumes no oxygen) • Less affected by fouling • Measures absolute oxygen concentration without repeated calibrations • Better long-term stability • Not affected by pressure • Faster response time

The oxygen optode outputs data in RS-232 and analog 0-5V, 0-10V or 4-20mA. The sensor can present the O2 concentration in μM, Air Saturation in % and Temperature in °C.

A compact fully integrated sensor for measuring the O2-concentration. Fast Response Foil

Since oxygen is involved in most of the biological and chemical processes in aquatic environments, it is one of the most important parameters needed to be measured. Oxygen can also be used as a tracer in oceanographic studies.

For environmental reasons it is critical to monitor oxygen in areas where the supply of oxygen is limited compared to demand, e.g. • In shallow coastal areas with significant algae blooms • In fjords or other areas with limited exchange of water • Around fish farms • Areas of interest for dumping of mine or dredging waste

The Aanderaa oxygen optodes are based on the ability of selected substances to act as dynamic fluorescence quenchers. The fluorescent indicator is a special platinumporphyrin complex embedded in a gas permeable foil that is exposed to the surrounding water. For the standard version 4330 a black optical isolation coating protects the complex from sunlight and fl uorescent particles in the water. This sensing foil is attached to a sapphire window providing optical access for the measuring system from inside a watertight housing.

The lifetime-based luminescence quenching principle offers the following advantages over electro-chemical sensors: • Not stirring sensitive (it consumes no oxygen) • Less affected by fouling • Measures absolute oxygen concentration without repeated calibrations • Better long-term stability • Less affected by pressure • Pressure behaviour is predictable • Faster response time

The oxygen optode outputs data in AiCaP CANbus and RS-232. The sensor can present the O2 concentration in μM, the air saturation in % and the temperature in °C. The Seaguard® datalogger and the Smart Sensor are interfaced by means of a reliable CANbus interface (AiCaP), using XML for plug and play capabilities.

Advantages:• Optical measurement principle• Lifetime-based luminescence quenching principle• Long time stability• More than one year without recalibration• Use with Aanderaa SeaGuard® Platform• Automatically detected and recognized• Use as stand-alone sensor• Three depth ranges, maximum 6000 meters

Compact fully integrated sensors for measuring the O2 concentration. The 3835 model is designed to be mounted directly on the Top-end Plate of RCM 9 or RDCP as well as for stand-alone operation using SR10 or RS-232 interface. The 4130 model can be connected via cable to Aanderaa SR10/VR22 Datalogger, and the 4175 model provides analog output.

Since oxygen is involved in most of the biological and chemical processes in aquatic environments, it is one of the most important parameters to be measured. Oxygen can also be used as a tracer in oceanographic studies.

For environmental reasons it is critical to monitor oxygen in areas where the supply of oxygen is limited compared to demand, e.g.:• In shallow coastal areas with significant algae blooms • In fjords or other areas with limited exchange of water • Around fi sh farms • In areas interesting for dumping of mine or dredging waste

The Aanderaa oxygen optodes are based on the ability of selected substances to act as dynamic fluorescence quenchers. The fluorescent indicator is a special platinum porphyrin complex embedded in a gas permeable foil that is exposed to the surrounding water. A black optical isolation coating protects the complex from sunlight and fl uorescent particles in the water.

This sensing foil is attached to a window providing optical access for the measuring system from inside a watertight housing. The foil is excited by modulated blue light, and the phase of a returned red light is measured. By linearizing and temperature compensating, with an incorporated temperature sensor, the absolute O2 concentration can be determined.

The sensor is designed to operate down to 300 meters. 4130 is designed for use with Aanderaa sensor disk. As the 4130 can not be used with CSP (Cylindrical Sealing Plug), the 4130C can be used instead.

Advantages:• Optical measurement principle• Lifetime-based luminescence quenching principle• Long time stability• More than one year without recalibration• Low maintenance needs• Smart sensor technology - provides calibrated data directly• Use with SmartGuard, RCM 9 and RDCP• Use as stand-alone sensor• Output format: SR10, RS232, Analog 0-5V/4-20mA

A rugged, true vector-averaging sensor for measuring current speed and direction in the sea.

The ZPulse Doppler Current Sensor (DCS) is a singlepoint current sensor primarily intended to be used with the Aanderaa SeaGuard platform to form a Recording Current Meter (RCM). It is designed for commercial as well as research use. There are 8 versions; 4420/4420R, 4830/4830R has a depth rating of 300 meters, while the 4520/4520R/ 4930/4930R has a depth rating of 6000 meters. 4830/4830R/ 4939/4930R have a temperature sensor included.

4420/4520/4830/4930 has both AiCaP and RS-232 ouput. The SeaGuard platform and the smart sensor are interfaced by means of a reliable CANbus interface (AiCaP), using XML for plug and play capabilities. 4420R/4520R/ 4830R/4930R has only RS-422 output for use as stand-alone sensor with long cables. The sensor version must be specified when ordered as the versions are not interchangeable. The R-version can not be used in SeaGuard applications.

The DCS sensors are based on the backscatter acoustic Doppler principle. The DCS has two orthogonal transducer axes with two transducers on each axis. This enables the DCS to measure in both directions on each axis which is a great advantage. This makes it insensitive to disturbance from vortex speeds around the sensor itself and the mooring line when the forward ping feature is enabled. One transducer on each axis transmits short ultrasonic pulses simultaneously. The same transducers receive backscattered signals from particles in the water. This gives an orthogonal x and y speed component which is tilt compensated to find the correct horizontal speed components.

The North and East speed components are calculated based on the x and y speed components and the heading from the built-in solid state electronic compass. The sensor takes several of these two-component measurements and finally calculates the averaged north and east speed components and the vector averaged absolute speed and direction.

Another great advantage is the new ZPulse technology which improves the statistical precision. Complex acoustic pulses comprising several distinct frequencies are combined into a single acoustic pulse. The ZPulse based DCS separates the received signal into different frequency bands, one for each frequency in the transmitted signal. Further it analyses the frequency shift using a high speed Digital Signal Processor using an ARMA based parametric model processing algorithm to find the Doppler shift frequencies. This multi-frequency technique reduces the required number of pings needed in order to achieve an acceptable statistical error. The achieved measurement precision is proportional to the inverse of the square root of the number of ping measurements in a measurement interval. The ZPulse DCS uses two frequencies and this gives a reduction by a factor square root of two compared to a single frequency sensor. A single frequency sensor needs twice the number of ping to achieve the same precision as the Zpulse DCS.

The sensor is easily integrated in other measurement systems with third party Dataloggers.

In most measuring system used in the sea, pressure is a vital parameter. For moored instruments the pressure can be used for determining the actual depth of the instrument. For instrumentation on the seabed the pressure can be used for deriving water level. The pressure is also vital when deriving other parameters as density and speed of sound.

The Pressure sensor 4017 is a compact yet intelligent sensor designed to be used on our RCM 9, RCM 11, RDCP or Aanderaa Dataloggers as well as in other measuring systems. The sensor is based on a silicon piezoresistive bridge sampled and temperature compensated by an advanced digital signal processor. The sensor is housed in a rugged titanium cylinder.

Since all calibration and temperature compensation data are stored inside, the pressure can be presented directly in engineering units without any external calculation. Two SR10 channels are available; one for pressure and one for temperature. The user may configure the range on both outputs; best accuracy is achieved with a short measurement range.

The sensor can be mounted directly to the Topend Plate of Aanderaa acoustic current meters and profilers and connected to the main control board (electronic board) with a short cable, Sensor Cable 3854.

The 10-pin receptacle in the sensor foot mates with Aanderaa CSP (Cylindrical Sealing Plug), giving access to RS-232 output. For connection to a PC the 1 meter Sensor Cable 4865L can be used. It is furnished with a watertight 10-pin CSP plug at the sensor end. An additional USB plug is used for providing power to the sensor. The 4865 is also available in other cable lengths up to 20 meters.

Advantages:• Smart sensor technology - plug and play• Calibration coefficients are stored in the sensor• Low maintenance needs• Low current drain• Depth rating of 6000 meters• Direct readout of engineering data• Output parameters: Pressure, Temperature• Selectable interval from 1 second to 255 minutes• Rugged and robust with low maintenance needs• Up to 60MPa range• Configured using Pressure setup program 4047 (or via Hyper Terminal)

Compact fully integrated sensors for measuring pressure, tide or wave conditions, based on measuring the hydrostatic pressure and water temperature in a fixed submerged position. The pressure transducer is vented to facilitate automatic correction for atmospheric pressure fluctuations.

Accurate monitoring of pressure, tide, water level and waves in ports, coastal and inland waters, rivers and boreholes is of great importance to many practical projects. This series of sensors measures the hydrostatic pressure caused by the head of water above them. The influence of barometric pressure on the sensors is compensated for by applying air pressure to one side of the transducer through an air pipe and compensating unit. The sensors contain, in addition to the sensing element, a temperature compensating and a range reducing network. The sensor is based on a silicon pressure sensor. The pressure measurements are sampled and temperature compensated by an advanced Digital Signal Processor.

The sensor application areas are in fixed installations, either deployed in a seabed installation in shallow waters, or mounted onto a fixed structure in the upper water column. Typical applications for the sensor are measurements of wave and tide in ports and harbors, marine operations, weather forecast, and climate studies.

The tide measurement is an average of the hydrostatic pressure measured over a time period of 10 seconds to 8 minutes (integration time configurable by the user). The update interval is between 1 second and 255 minutes.

The wave measurements are based on the pressure time series measured over a time period of 64 seconds to 17 minutes (configurable by the user). The update interval is between 1 second and 255 minutes.

All calibration and temperature compensation data are stored inside the sensor, the parameters are by default presented directly in engineering units without any external calculation. The sensor also provides raw data of the pressure and the temperature measurements.

The sensor package consists of:• Vented Sensor with Thermistor• Cable with Airpipe• Compensating Unit

Advantages:• Smart Sensor technology - plug and play• Sensor calibration coefficients are stored internally• Low maintenance needs• Low current drain• Real-time XML output

Typical applications for the sensor are meassurements of wave and tide in Ports and Harbours, Marine operations, Weather forecast and Climate studies.

The tide measurement is an average of the hydrostatic pressure measured over a time period of 10 seconds to 8 minutes (integration time configurable by the user). The update interval is between 1 second and 255 minutes.

The wave meassurements are based on the pressure time series measured over a time period of 64 second to 17minutes (configurable by the user). The update interval is between 1 second and 255 minutes.

The wave and tide sensor output parameters are Pressure, Tide Level, Tide Pressure, Temperature, Significant wave height, Maximum wave height, Mean period, Peak period, Energy wave period, Mean zerocrossing period, Wave steepness and irregularity of sea-state.

Since all calibration and temperature compensation data are stored inside the sensor, the parameters are by default presented directly in engineering units without any external calculation. The sensor also provides raw data of the pressure and the temperature measurements.

5218 is a compact yet intelligent sensor designed to be used with Aanderaa SmartGuard or SeaGuard as well as in other measuring systems.

The SmartGuard/SeaGuard and the smart sensors are interfaced by means of a reliable CANbus interface using an XML based protocol (AiCaP). The smart sensors can be mounted directly on the top-end plate of the Aanderaa SeaGuard and are automatically detected and recognized.

The output format of 5218 are AiCaP CANbus and RS-232, while the output format of the 5218R version is RS-422. The sensor version must be specified when ordered as the two versions are not interchangeable. The R-version cannot be used in SeaGuard applications.

The Tide Sensor can be used as stand-alone sensor with Aanderaa Real-Time Collector for real-time data.

The WTS sensor can be used as stand-alone sensor with Real-Time Collector for real-time data.
