Key features

Smallest CTD salinity logger on the market

Flexible mounting with protective housing

Different ranges, high or low conductivity

Depth sensors for shallow to deep ocean

On/off saltwater switch for saving memory

Smallest CTD on the market

This small autonomous salinity probe DST CTD measures and records conductivity, temperature and pressure. In addition to the three measured parameters the software calculates and displays salinity values and velocity in graphical and tabular form upon data conversion. It is only 50 mm in length and 15 in width. Due to its small size it is easy to mount it on various gear and nets.

Application

DST CTD is small and economical when compared to bulkier CTDs on the market. The CTD salinity measuring device is used for a variety of studies including:

Oceanography and hydrography - long term stationary monitoring or surveying

Fisheries research - CTD attached to fishing gear

Data collection on underwater vehicles – small sized CTD is an advantage.

Flexible mounting with protective housing

A plastic protective housing is available, recommended when fastening the logger to subsea gear and moorings.

Depth sensors for shallow to deep ocean

Customers choose between depth calibration ranges up to 100 m, 500 m, 1200 m or 2400 m. The shallower the range the better the depth resolution and accuracy.

On/off saltwater switch for saving memory

It is possible to purchase the logger with a saltwater switch. This optional configuration and saves on the memory capacity, by only recording data when in saltwater. This on/off switch version is ideal for use on fishing gear, to stop recordings when gear is on deck and automatically start again when submerged.
