The Model 600 MKIII is the third generation of the successful Valeport 600 series CTDs using proven, industry standard sensors, and has been developed to meet the needs of oceanographers, hydrographers and surveyors who require an accurate CTD with flexibility of configuration and large memory capacity, which can output directly to a PC and can be used in both direct reading and self recording modes.
The Model 600 MKIII measures Conductivity, Temperature and Pressure parameters and has both time and depth increment based sampling. From these measurements Salinity, Density and Speed of Sound are calculated and displayed or recorded. The system is modular and instruments can be upgraded if desired, and external instruments or parameters such as turbidity or fluorescence can be interfaced and logged or monitored in real time.
The Model 600 MKIII is available in two versions: the 600SR is both self recording and direct reading and the 600DR is direct reading only. Both units can be used directly with a PC or with the optional Model 8008 Control Display Unit. The instrument has 3 data communication methods built in which offer great flexibility for configuration and use with a wide number of cable types and lengths.
Sampling mode, rate and averaging periods are set up using customers PC or 8008 Control Display Unit, and the set up is retained until overwritten. Calibration for all sensors is held within the instrument and data is provided in engineering units.
Power may be taken from its internal batteries (600SR only), or from a surface battery or the surface unit if connected. The unit has 128 kbyte memory as standard and this can be increased to 1Mbyte. As an example, in self recording mode, the 128 kbyte memory can store 20,000 records.
