Response Time (90%) | 10 minutes in water (typical) |
Stability (Drift) | 0.18°F (0.1°C) per year |
Logger | |
Real-time Clock | ±1 minute per month 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C) |
Battery | Type: 2/3 x AA, 3.6 V lithium, factory-replaceable Life (typical use): 5 years with 1 minute or greater logging interval |
Memory (Non-volatile) | 64 KB memory (approximately 21,700 pressure and temperature samples) |
Wetted Materials | Polypropylene housing and lanyard; Viton and Buna-N O-rings; ceramic sensor in acetyl end cap; stainless steel screws suitable for saltwater |
Logging Interval | Fixed-rate or multiple logging intervals, with up to 8 user-defined logging intervals and durations; logging intervals from 1 second to 18 hours |
Modes | Launch: Immediate start and delayed start Offload: Offload while logging; stop and offload |
Environmental Rating | IP68 |
Dimensions | 1.25" (3.18 cm) diameter, 6" (15.24 cm) length; mounting hole 0.25" (6.3 mm) diameter |
Weight | Approximately 5.43 oz (154 g) in air; approximately 1.9 oz (53.9 g) in fresh water |
*Water Level Accuracy: With accurate reference water level measurement, known water density, accurate Barometric Compensation Assistant data, and a stable temperature environment.
**Raw Pressure Accuracy: Absolute pressure sensor accuracy includes all sensor drift, temperature, and hysteresis-induced errors.
***Changes in Temperature: Allow 20 minutes in water to achieve full temperature compensation of the pressure sensor. Maximum error due to rapid thermal changes is approximately 0.5%.
