Deployment & Best Practices
Configuration Options
Ideal for moored coastal deployments with one Spotter or a network.Integrate up to two more devices (e.g. pressure/oxygen) per Smart Mooring (max 3 total).
Remote Configuration & Controls
Direct control via Spotter Dashboard, binary/ASCII commands, and Sofar remote support.
Mounting
Mount with sensor head (pressure port) pointing downward to prevent debris clogging.
Max Operational Conditions
Up to 100 cm/s current velocity.
Calibration
Recalibrate annually (~0.50% FS drift).
Maintenance
Rinse with fresh water after retrieval.
Clean the pressure port to remove debris.
