Plus-X - New Standard In Multi-Parameter Brochure

The New Standard in Multi-Parameter StudiesPlus•Xconductivity / sound velocity / pressure / temperatureThe Plus•X is a logger that allows you to change the instrument’s sensor load, in-the-field and on-demand. With the Plus•X, your CTD can become an SVTP; shallow pressure sensors can be swapped for deep; and temperature range can be extended or tightened, as needed. One single logger meets multiple deployment requirements.Like all other X•Series instruments, the Plus•X uses XchangeTM field-swappable sensors, now available for Conductivity, Sound Velocity, Temperature, and Pressure. This means that sensor-heads can be shared with other instruments, regardless of instrument size or type. Total flexibility – of instrument model, of sensor type, and of sensor range – ensure that the right instrument is always available.Field-swappable sensors also streamline recalibration: instead of sending the entire instrument back to a recalibration centre, calibrated sensor-heads can be sent to the instrument. Changing sensors is easy: simply unscrew one sensor-head and replace it with another. The Plus•X offers high-speed 25Hz sampling, ensuring excellent data resolution. The Plus•X also includes a deployment shackle and sensor cage, and can be ordered with up to 10 analog or 5 digital channels, for use with 3rd party sensors.

Reduced downtime: Recalibrated • sensors sent to the instrument means the instrument never leaves the field for recalibration. Reduction in transport and logistics • costs: Instruments can be recalibrated without return to a calibration centre. Greater system redundancy: Mobility • of sensor-heads and modularity of instruments minimizes the risk of downtime on the vessel. Streamlined management: Less • time spent administering instrument recalibration and certification requirements.Xchange™ and X•Series: Each Xchange™ sensor-head includes its own embedded calibration • Sensors exchange easily without use of speciality tools • Swap any sensor with another sensor of its own kind, regardless of range • Exchange conductivity with sound velocity, regardless of range • Exchange pressure with temperature, regardless of range• Electrical:Gigabyte non-volatile memory (expandable)• Up to 25 scans per second• 8 to 26 VDC (external)• Auto detect RS232 or RS485• Auto shut-down in low battery conditions• Real time clock• Additional channels (10 analog or 5 digital, optional)• USB download (optional)• Mechanical:Housing & End Cap: Hard anodized Aluminium 6061-T6 housing to • 5000 m or 7075-T6 to 6000 mSize: 100 mm (4.0”) diameter x 881 mm (34.9”) OAL• Connector: Subconn Micro 8• Storage Temperature: -40• oC to 60oCOperating Temperature: -20• oC to 45oC Sampling Modes:User configurable (by time, by pressure, by sound velocity)• Power:9 D cell Alkaline batteries• 3, 6, or 9 D cell Lithium batteries• 9 D cell Ni-Cad rechargeable batteries• Range0 to 70 mS/cm1375 to 1625 m/sUp to 6000 dBar-2 to 32oC0 to 42 psu990 to 1230kg/m3Accuracy+/-0.01mS/cm+/-0.025 m/s+/-0.05%FS+/-0.005oC+/-0.01psu+/- 0.027kg/m3Response25ms at 1m/s flow47 microseconds10 milliseconds100 millsecondsResolution0.001mS/cm0.001 m/s0.02%FS0.001oC0.001psu0.001kg/m3ParameterC•XchangeTM SV•XchangeTMP•XchangeTMT•XchangeTMSalinity (Calculated)*Density (Calculated)*Precision+/-0.003mS/cm+/-0.006 m/s +/-0.03%FS+/-0.003oC+/-0.06psuXchangeTMX•Series instruments do not come with sensor-heads; please order them separately.Calculated parameters are based on C•XchangeTM, T•XchangeTM and P•XchangeTM sensor-heads.
