The DDC-DXT Adaptor is the connection between the Smart Interface Cable and a DDC cable. The Smart Interface Cable screws onto the DDC-DXT Adaptor. Once connected, the Diver deployed on the cable can be read by clicking the DDC -Adaptor onto the top connector of the DDC Cable.

The Diver Copper Shield protects the CTD-Diver from bio-fouling and reduces maintenance cost. There are many methods that can be used to prevent and remove the bioaccumulations. However, these methods can be expensive and detrimental to the environment. There is a lesser known natural solution that is a good match for the CTD-Diver and is effective at reducing the development of microorganisms. The Diver Copper Shield is a copper coil shield specifically designed to significantly reduce the growth of algae on the electrodes. Thus reducing the need for maintenance and reducing the time spent on site.

The USB Reading Unit connects to a USB port of a PC, laptop and/or tablet. Simply insert the Diver into the base of the USB Reading Unit to connect to it using the free Diver-Office software. Once connected the Diver can be programmed, settings or data read. The conductivity sensor of the CTD-Diver can be calibrated using the USB Reading Unit. The USB Reading Unit can be used in the field or the office and supports all Divers.

The Diver-Mate is designed for simple and fast download of data, increasing download efficiency while reducing data transfer errors. The Diver-Mate can store Diver data from hundreds of Divers. Used in combination with a Diver communication cable, this downloading unit stores data in a non-volatile memory drive; even if the battery is empty the data will still be available. A full battery can support more than 10 days of operational use and a LED will indicate when the battery voltage is low.
