CB-450 Step-by-Step Assembly 

Understanding the data well with NexSens data loggers 

 
The data well is a waterproof canister located in the center of the buoy hull. Batteries are 
secured at the bottom and a data logger is mounted to the underside of the lid. The data well 
lid provides convenient connection ports for sensors, an antenna, solar charging, and a vent.
