SeaPac 2200
Waveand Tide Gauge

The SeaPac 2200 Wave and Tide Gauge was designed for the precise measurement of wave height and period as well as water level in the difficult coastal ocean environment. For the Research Scientist, the Consultant, and Industry, the SeaPac 2200 offers unique advantages:

Versatile
    Independent sampling schedules for waves and tides
    4 Mbyte recorder and 50 Ahr battery pack allow longer deployments
    Extra input channels (analog and digital) for interfacing a wide variety of other sensor types

Accurate
    100 psi Paroscientific DigiQuartz pressure sensor
    - 0.015% FS accuracy (1 cm for 100 psi w/ temperature compensation)
    - 0.0015% FS resolution (1 mm for 100 psi range)

Easy to Use
    Set-up & download directly through the endcap
    Output in ASCII Hex or engineering units
    Removable memory pack allows quick re- deployment

Data Analysis Optional WavePro Software provides fast analysis and presentation of your data using the MATLAB environment. 
SENSORS:
Temperature
Sensor Paroscientific temperature sensor (located inside the pressure sensor)
Range 0 to 35o C
Accuracy +/-0.1o C
Resolution  0.01o C

Pressure
Sensor Paroscientific DigiQuartz sensor
Range 100 psi (other ranges available)
Accuracy +/-0.015% FS = 1 cm w/100 psi range
Resolution  0.0015% FS (24 bits)

Data Storage
Medium Non-volatile flash PCMCIA card
