Single-point Current Meter

The SeaGuard current meters are multiparameter platforms with vast possibilities to measure currents, waves, and water quality

The SEAGUARD® is the core module used in small and medium sized underwater observatories. Whether used as a multipurpose instrument, or as a hub for strings in the water column, the SeaGuard manages connected sensors and the real-time communication of data and meta-data to shore. In autonomous configurations, long battery life is achieved with aggressive power routines keeping the full system at the lowest power levels possible.

The most common version includes the patented Z-pulse current meter and referred to as SeaGuard RCM. It is used in thousands of deployments ranging from ocean research, to aquaculture, ports and offshore energy.

Tools for visualizing and analyzing data is included with the SeaGuard RCM, and all instruments are delivered with the Real-time collector software to configure directly or remote and control the data-flow from the instrument.

Seaguard RCM Advantages:

  •  Long deployment time in autonomous operations
  • Large storage capacity on removable SD card
  • Sensor bus for string systems
  • Up to 4 Analog sensor input (0-5V)
  • Serial input from sensors from other manufacturers
  • Broadband ZPulse® multi-frequency technology reduces power consumption and improves quality
  • 300 m, 3000 m and 6000 meter versions

  • SeaGuard RCM SW - Depth rating max 300m
  • SeaGuard RCM IW - Depth rating max 3000m
  • SeaGuard RCM DW - Depth rating max 6000m

Each platform may be equipped with a wide range of optional smart sensors, such as temperature, conductivity, pressure, turbidity and oxygen. Different mooring and battery solutions are also available.

Single Sensors

Aquatic environments are constantly changing. Regardless if you model effects of climate change on a global scale, operate an aquaculture facility, study the impact of human activities in the coastal zone, spreading of pollution, ecosystem changes, or are involved in coastal or off-shore constructions, measurements of relevant water quality parameters are fundamental to understand ongoing changes and risks and make it possible to calibrate and verify mathematical models.

The MOTUS (movement in Latin) Wave Buoy is a perfect solution for collecting environmental data in coastal areas.

Ocean Waves

Surface waves are formed by winds either locally as "wind waves" with shorter periods, or further away as “swell" with longer periods. A rare case of extremely long period of ocean waves are tsunamis from e.g. earthquakes and landslides. Because ocean waves can travel far and can contain high energy it is important to measure ocean waves to understand their impact on shipping fishing, tourism, constructions, shorelines, water mixing, sediment resuspension, gas exchange etc.
