RBR standard instruments

RBR offers a variety of standard instruments that measure up to ten parameters (Fig. 1):

All RBR standard instruments support the following features:

RBR standard instruments can integrate one to ten sensors, including third-party sensors, and thus meet any of your unique requirements, be it acoustic surveys, coastal and deep ocean studies, tide and wave studies, hydrography, water quality, or profiling applications. Select a configuration that fits your needs and enjoy stable, accurate measurements during long deployments.

Some of the supported sensors:

Variants with pressure, temperature, conductivity, radiometer, PAR, optical dissolved oxygen, turbidity, chlorophyll-a, and optical pH sensors are also available in titanium housing for deep applications (| deep), designed to endure harsh conditions. Titanium housing resists all forms of marine corrosion. All RBR instruments within the | deep family provide accurate and stable measurements in the most challenging environments. Some configurations are rated for the full ocean depth, thus being deployable as deep as the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

RBR standard instruments facilitate optimal measurement schedules, whether moored, towed, or profiling. Select from several | fast sampling variants, such as | fast8, | fast16, | fast32, | tide16, and | wave16, depending on your needs.

The instruments come with a Wi-Fi module and twist activation. Large storage capacity and reliable battery power facilitate long deployments with higher sampling rates. Downloads are quick with USB-C. A dedicated holder makes it simple to replace desiccant before each deployment. The calibration coefficients are stored on the instrument, and only one software tool, Ruskin, is required to operate it. Datasets can be read directly in Matlab, or exported to Excel, OceanDataView®, or text files. For a detailed description of using the Ruskin software, see Ruskin User Guide: Standard Instruments³.
