Model 106 Current Meter
The Model 106 Current Meter is a light weight, cost
effective impeller current meter, designed for real time current measurement or short to medium term autonomous deployments. Titanium construction ensures durability, and the optional temperature and pressure sensors increase the versatility of the instrument. Ideal for use in rivers and coastal applications, or from small boats, the Model 106 is simple to use with either the Windows based PC software supplied, or an optional dedicated display unit. Sensors Speed Power Type: High Impact Styrene Impeller Internal: 1 x D cell. 1.5v alkaline cell gives Size: 125mm diameter by 270mm pitch approximately 30 days at 10 second sample Range: 0.03 to 5m/s rate, or 56 days at 5 minute sample rate. 3.6v Accuracy: ±1.5% of reading above 0.15m/s Lithium cell gives approximately 90 days at 10 ±0.004m/s below 0.15m/s second sample rate, or 180 days at 5 minute Direction sample rate. Type: Flux gate compass External: For external supply, 12-20v DC is required. Range: 0 to 360° Power can also be taken from the Model Accuracy: ± 2.5° 8008 CDU. Resolution: 0.5° Communications Temperature Fitted with Subconn MCBH10F (Brass) Type: Thermistor RS232 to PC over cable lengths up to 200m. Range: -5 to 35°C Digital Current Loop to Model 8008 CDU, or to PC over longer Accuracy: ± 0.2°C cable lengths (requires additional adaptor). Resolution: 0.01°C Physical Pressure Instrument Type: Strain Gauge Transducer Materials: Titanium, acetal and ABS plastic Range: 50, 100, 200 or 500 dBar Size: 640mm x 50mm Ø Accuracy: ± 0.2% Range. tail 133mm wide x 270mm high Resolution: 0.025% Range Weight: 3kg (air), 2kg (water) Data Acquisition Depth Rating: 500m The current meter works on a basic 1 second cycle, during which Shipping the impeller counts are taken and a single compass heading Model 106 Size: 84 x 42 x 39cm reading is made. From this, East and North velocity vectors are Model 106 Weight: 17kg calculated, which are then summed over the averaging period. 50m Cable Size: 42 x 33 x 49cm The additional parameters of temperature and pressure (if fitted) 50m Cable Weight: 11kg are sampled once every sample period, and averaged over the averaging period. Software System is supplied with DataLog x2 Windows based PC software, Data Recovery for instrument setup, data extraction and display of tabular and Direct to PC via communications port.
