Emergency Response Buoy
Detecting and taking action when emergency situations arise depends on being prepared. Response to oil spills, maritime accidents, natural disasters and other unexpected events can be aided by monitoring systems that can be quickly deployed to assess the situation and keep personnel safe despite challenging conditions.
Typical Emergency Response Buoy System
Simple to configure, lightweight and easy to deploy, NexSens emergency response data buoy systems meet all of the important characteristics for effective emergency response. The NexSens CB-50 data buoy is a well-suited option for such situations, with its compact size and real-time data telemetry capabilities.
The center port of the CB-50 data buoy is designed to securely hold the X2-SDL Submersible Data Logger, a self-powered and fully waterproof unit that withstands extreme conditions and submersion to 60m. Radio, cellular, or satellite communications options allow for transmission of data in near real-time to the WQData LIVE web datacenter. This secure online portal presents live data, sends email or SMS alarms, and much more.
The X2-SDL works with nearly all industry-standard water quality sensors and sondes including YSI, Hydrolab, Eureka, and In-situ. The stainless steel frame attached to the buoy presents an ideal location to securely mount instruments. Waterproof cable connectors and automatic sensor detection make start-up simpler than ever. System power from a set of D-cell alkaline batteries installed in the logger allows for extended deployments and simple battery exchanges.
With robust constructions and a weight of only around 23 kg fully configured, the CB-50 can safely and easily be deployed from a small boat or helicopter. The topside cover protects the logger and supports an M550 solar marine light for visibility to boat traffic in adverse conditions.
