RBR sensors

The RBRcoda and RBRcoda³ small smart sensors (Fig. 1), as well as multi-channel sensors RBRtridente and RBRquadrante, are a family of cabled instruments with high accuracy, low power consumption, and ability to endure harsh conditions. These realtime streaming sensors are easy to integrate into any RBR multi-parameter instrument, or connect directly via RS-232. Attach an MCIL connector with serial and power lines, and the data will stream.

The RBR sensors are a perfect choice for many oceanographic and limnology applications where realtime streaming of data is desired, such as borehole monitoring, remotely operated underwater vehicles, stream gauging, or harbour water levels. These completely sealed units are available in plastic or titanium housings to accommodate shallow or deep deployments. Select from several sampling variants, such as | fast8, | fast16, | fast32, and | tide16, depending on your needs.

The RBRcoda³ D | tide16 and RBRcoda³ T.D | tide16 take averages of pressure readings over extended periods of time, providing accurate tide level data.

The RBRquadrante, RBRtridente, and RBRcoda Tu support aggregate sampling mode, where measurement bursts are taken over a selected period.

Deep variants

  • RBRcoda³ D | deep: pressure (depth)

  • RBRcoda³ T | deep: temperature

  • RBRcoda³ T.D | deep: temperature, pressure

  • RBRcoda ODO: temperature, optical dissolved oxygen

  • RBRcoda OpH: temperature, optical pH

  • RBRcoda Tu: turbidity

  • RBRcoda chl-a: chlorophyll-a

  • RBRcoda PAR | deep: photosynthetically active radiation

  • RBRcoda rad | deep: narrow-band light radiation
