Multi-channel sensor packages

The RBRtridente and RBRquadrante are part of the RBR family of cabled smart sensors with high accuracy, low power consumption, and ability to endure harsh conditions. These completely sealed units have titanium housing and can accommodate deep deployments. 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.

  • RBRtridente - chlorophyll a, fDOM, phycocyanin, phycoerythrin, rhodamine, fluorescein, backscatter, turbidity

  • RBRquadrante - photosynthetically active radiation, narrow-band light radiation

In addition to continuous sampling mode, the RBRquadrante and RBRtridente support aggregate mode, where measurement bursts are taken at a selected period. See Ruskin User Guide: Sensors.

A dry-bay variant of the RBRtridente (shown in Fig. 2), designed specifically for OEM users, is compatible with existing vehicle payload bays. Integrate the RBRtridente on AUVs, gliders, floats, or any other underwater vehicle (shown in Fig. 3), and stream your RS-232 data via a Micro-Fit connector.
