Minos-X - New Standard In Vertical Profiling
From Sensor Xchangeable Instruments
The Minos-X is a small vertical profiler that allows you to change the instrument’s sensor load, in-the-field and on-demand. With the Minos-X, your SVPT can become a CTD; Shallow pressure sensors can be swapped for deep; and temperature range can be extended or tightened, as needed. One single profiler meets multiple deployment requirements.
Like all other XSeries instruments, the Minos-X us...
Like all other XSeries instruments, the Minos-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.
Half the size of a Plus instrument, the Minos-X is designed for vertical profiling in tight spaces like launches or boats. The instrument includes a shackle and sensor cage, as well as an LED status indicator to simplify deployment preparation. High-speed 25Hz sampling ensures excellent data resolution. The Minos-X can be ordered with up to 2 analog or 1 digital channels, for use with 3rd party sensors.
Key Benefits:
- Greater return on investment: Each instrument can multi-task as CTD or SVTP, at multiple pressure ranges, assuring greater usage.
- Right instrument always ready: Calibrated sensors are shared amongst all X-Series instruments, ensuring that the right instrument is always field-ready.
- 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.
