CB-1450 Data Buoy Overview
Overview
The NexSens CB-1450 data buoy platform is
constructed with a closed cell, cross-linked
polyethylene foam hull with polyurea coating that
provides 1450 lb buoyancy. The buoy has a
corrosion resistant, stainless steel internal frame
with topside lifting eyes and subsurface mooring
eyes for connection of single-point and multi-
point mooring systems.
An integrated data well located within the buoy
hull accommodates batteries and electronics. The
data well lid is available as a NexSens iSIC-CB
data logger assembly or as a standard lid with
pass-through fittings for use with user-supplied
electronics. Internal batteries are recharged by
(6) 30-Watt solar panels mounted on the buoy
tower, which also supports an optional LED
beacon, radar reflector, and
RTU-R/C/I
radio,
cellular or Iridium satellite telemetry module.
