CTD-N Options
Depth Rating – CTD-N units are available with the following depth rating: 500 meter (Delrin
housing), 2000 meter (Aluminum housing), or 7000 meter (Titanium housing).
Pressure Sensor – The pressure sensor is available in the following ranges (in meters): 20, 100,
200, 350, 500, 667, 1000, 2000, 3000 or 7000.
Vertical - The CT-NV and CTD-NV conductivity sensor is free flushing with no exposed electrodes
that can foul or external fields that can affect calibration. The temperature sensor is directly in the
water flow path of the conductivity sensor.
Horizontal – The CT-NH and CTD-NH models have a horizontal head with copper screens to pre-
vent biofouling to build up on the sensors.
Communications Port – The bulk head connector can be configured for the following communi-
cations: RS-232, RS-485, or CMOS. See
External Sensor Interface – The Option 1 and Option 2 connectors are used to connect to op-
Battery Pack – An internal alkaline battery pack is used to power the CTD-N when the instrument
is deployed autonomously. The battery pack comprises 16 welded alkaline "C" size cells.
NOTE.
CTD options must be defined at time of order.
CTD-N part numbers use a seven field code - 111-22-3-444444-5555-6666-7.
