Components 

• Inductive Modem (IM) system provides reliable, low-cost, real-time data transmission for up to 100 IM-enabled instruments using plastic-coated wire rope (typically 3×19 galvanized steel) as both transmission line and mooring tension member. IM instruments clamp anywhere along the mooring, which is easily reconfigured by sliding and re-clamping instruments on the cable. In a typical mooring, an Inductive Modem Module (IMM) in the buoy communicates with IM instruments and interfaces to a computer/data logger (not supplied by Sea-Bird) via RS-232. The data logger is programmed to poll each IM instrument for data, and sends the data to a satellite link, cell phone, etc.
• Unique internal-field conductivity cell permits use of expendable anti-foulant devices, for long-term bio-fouling protection.
• Aged and pressure-protected thermistor has a long history of exceptional accuracy and stability.
• Optional pressure sensor with temperature compensation is available in eight strain-gauge ranges (to 7000 m) and eleven Digiquartz® ranges (to 10,500 m).
• Optional pump runs for each sample, providing improved conductivity and plumbed auxiliary sensor response, bio-fouling protection, and correlation of CTD and auxiliary sensor measurements.

• Plastic (600 m) or titanium (7000 or 10,500 m) housing (data transmission rated to 8000 m).
• XSG/AG or wet-pluggable MCBH connectors.
• No pressure, or strain-gauge or Digiquartz® pressure sensor.
• SBE 5M pump for pumped conductivity; or SBE 5P or 5T pump for pumped conductivity and auxiliary sensor(s).
• Auxiliary sensors — dissolved oxygen (SBE 63 Optical DO Sensor or SBE 43 [membrane-type] DO Sensor), fluorescence, radiance (PAR), light transmission, turbidity, etc.
• Battery pack kit for lithium batteries (batteries not supplied by Sea-Bird).
