FSI - Model WAVE-TIDE-PLUS -1-Dimensional Wave and Tide Meter
The FSI WAVE-TIDE-PLUS is an economical wave and tide monitor, combining a highly stable pressure sensor and state-of-the-art electronics to achieve unprecedented levels of accuracy and stability. Sampling rate is selectable (1 to 5 Hz), which enables the user to acquire accurate point-spectra of waves. Pressure sensor output can also be integrated to obtain water level measurements unaffected by wave action. With 2 GB of on board flash data memory, the WAVE-TIDE- PLUS can retain the large amounts of data required for highly detailed wave characterization.
High-Speed, High-Resolution Wave Height and Tide Measurement
Enhanced Design, Specifications, Performance
The WAVE-TIDE-PLUS is available with an optional Barometric Sensor. This option comes complete with surface housing, reinforced 30 meter cable (or user-specified length) and NEMA weather-proof enclosure with standard marine-grade connectors. The NEMA enclosure houses the barometric sensor with space for two 6V lantern or 7.5 AHr gel cell batteries. Other options include a solar panel charger and radio data telemetry sub-systems.
