 |
A surface buoy equipped with modular meteorological sensors and
sub-surface modular oceanographic sensors. |
|
A mooring line with modular oceanographic sensors positioned at any
number of depths. |
|
A bottom mount equipped with an upward looking ADCP for current
profiling, complete with full multi-directional wave gauge
capabilities. |
|
The Intelligent System Control and Logging. |
|
Prominent features:
The system operations can be remotely configured without the need
of local intervention. |
|
The remote data download allows peace of mind and real-time system
checkout. |
|
The self diagnostic capabilities and subsequent alarm broadcast
minimize the need for routine maintenance. |
|
The Intelligent System Control transfers the data over the
communication link (radio, sat or cellular phone), logs data
internally to a file and transmit them at an user-defined interval or
when an user-defined file size is reached, checks the sensors status
and power (when a sensor malfunctioning or a power failure is
detected, the M4 sends an alert message describing the specific
problem encountered). |
|
Smart Sampling™: when any
combination of specified values with a specified persistence is
detected, the M4 can switch to a specified setup until the detected
conditions persist. Any number of combinations of multiple threshold
values can be set.
 |
Example: when chlorophyll concentration exceeds value1 for a specified
duration, the M4 sends a Smart Sampling Change message and starts
sampling more frequently until the chlorophyll concentration falls
below value1 for a specified duration.
|
|
|
Smart Alarm™: when any combination
of specified values with a specified persistence is detected, an alarm
is sent along with the measured value and persistence. |
|
Remote Setup™: every operational
setup of the M4 can be changed remotely, and sent to the M4 via the
communication link. |
