Minos CTD - Ideal For Salinity Profiles From Small Launches Brochure

The Minos CTD is a logger that was specifically designed for vertical profiles from small launches or boats. ½ the size of a CTD Plus v2, this instrument is much easier to handle in small spaces. The instrument also has an LED light which provides a visual status indicator to the end-user. With 25Hz sampling and rapid sensor response times, the Minos CTD provides high resolution data even in high-speed applications. Matched sensor response times eliminate the need for post processing of data. No pumps are required. The Minos CTD can be equipped with up to 2 analog or 1 digital channels to allow integration of additional sensors.

With the X•Series, your CTD can be an SVTP, shallow pressure sensors can be swapped for deep, and temperature range can be adjusted as needed. The X•Series uses XchangeTM sensor-heads, which are both field-swappable and shareable with all other models of X•Series instruments.2071 Malaview Avenue Sidney, British Columbia Canada, V8L 5X6T: +1-250-656-0771T: +1-800-663-8721 (NA)F: +1-250-665-3655E: sales@AMLoceanographic.com W: www.AMLoceanographic.comMinos CTD Electrical:LED light indicates if the battery is low and when • instrument is operatingGigabyte non-volatile memory (expandable)• Up to 25 scans per second• Real time clock• 7.5 to 26 VDC (external)• Auto detect RS232 or RS485• Optional additional channels (2 analog or 1 digital)• Auto shut-down in low battery conditions• Sampling Modes: User configurable• By time, up to 25 Hz • By pressure, .01 dBar and greater• Power:Rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery pack• Mechanical:Housing & Endcap: Delrin to 1000 m or • Titanium to 6000 mStainless steel shackle point and sensor • protection cage Size: 75.7 mm (2.98”) diameter x 553.7 • mm (21.8”) end-to-end Connector: Subconn Micro 8, Female• Storage Temperature: -20• oC to 60oCOperating Temperature: -20• oC to 45oCAccessories:Instrument suspension bar• Instrument protection frame• Field spares kit• RangeUp to 70mS/cm-2 to 32oCUp to 6000mUp to 40psu990 to 1200kg/m3Up to 70mS/cmAccuracy+/-0.01mS/cm +/-0.005oC+/-0.05%FS+/-0.01psu+/- 1.5kg/m3+/-0.01mS/cm Response25ms at 1m/s flow100 millseconds10 milliseconds25ms at 1m/s flowResolution0.001mS/cm0.001oC0.005%FS0.001psu0.06kg/m30.001mS/cmPrecision+/-0.005mS/cm +/-0.003oC+/-0.03%FS+/-0.06psu+/-0.005mS/cmParameterConductive Conductivity 4 ElectrodeTemperaturePressure (Strain Gauge)Salinity (Calculated)Density (Calculated)Pressure (Quartz Crystal)*specifications subject to change without noticeField-swappable XchangeTM sensors (Conductivity, Sound Velocity, Temperature and Pressure) are only available on X•Series instruments, including the Minos•X.
