| Part # | Description | Notes |
| 55 | ECO WATER SAMPLER, Includes: Electronic Control Module (ECM) with programmable auto-fire function and real-time sea cable interface, 600 meter plastic housing with anodized aluminum end cap and standard XSG connectors, one 3-position lanyard release array, stainless steel guard frame with six integral bottle mounting brackets, three 4-liter ECO sample bottles, ECM to computer cable, and complete documentation. Real-time operation requires SBE 33 Deck Unit (sold separately). Order optional 6-bottle system and CTD integration in addition to basic configuration if required. | ECO is shipped fully assembled. |
| SBE 55 6-Bottle Option | ||
| 55-1 | Upgrade to 6-bottle system – add one 3-position lanyard release array, cable, and three 4-liter ECO sample bottles |
Standard ECO comes with 1 lanyard
release module (latches for 3 bottles) and 3 bottles. You can add a second lanyard
release module to provide 6-bottle capability. Additional release
module can be ordered with ECO, or can be ordered later and easily
added to ECO in field. Each lanyard release module is cabled to
a separate connector on Electronics Control Module (ECM). 55-1 includes lanyard release module, cable to connect it to ECM, three 4-liter bottles, and band clamps to attach bottles to mounting brackets. |
| SBE 55 Wet-Pluggable Connector Options (aluminum) | ||
| 55-2a | Upgrade 3-bottle system to WET-PLUGGABLE MCBH connectors (aluminum) and cables |
Wet-pluggable connectors may be mated in wet
conditions. Their pins do not need to be dried before mating. By
design, water on connector pins is forced out as connector
is mated. However, they must not be mated or un-mated while
submerged. Wet-pluggable connectors have a non-conducting guide pin
to assist pin alignment & require less force to mate, making them
easier to mate reliably under dark or cold conditions, compared to
our standard (Impulse XSG/RMG) connectors. Like standard connectors,
wet-pluggables need proper lubrication & require care during use
to avoid trapping water in sockets. These options include substituting aluminum wet-pluggable connectors for all connectors on Electronics Control Module (ECM) and on lanyard release module(s), as well as compatible cable(s) from ECM to lanyard release module(s). |
| 55-2b | Upgrade 6-bottle system to WET-PLUGGABLE MCBH connectors (aluminum) and cables | |
|
SBE 55 Titanium End Cap & Connector Upgrade Option (better corrosion resistance, less maintenance) |
||
| 55-3a | Upgrade 3-bottle system to titanium ECM end cap with Wet-Pluggable connectors (ECM and release array) |
Standard Electronics Control Module (ECM) has an aluminum end cap. This upgrade provides:
|
| 55-3b | Upgrade 6-bottle system to titanium ECM end cap with Wet-Pluggable connectors (ECM and release array) | |
|
SBE 55 CTD Integration Options |
||
| 55-4a | CTD integration (Standard Connectors), SBE 19/19plus, includes CTD mount brackets and CTD to ECM cable |
CTD integration options provide
appropriate mounts & interface cables for system.
Note regarding third party sensors: These integration options do not include mounting third party sensors. For mounting third party sensors, contact Sea-Bird (Third Party product configuration page will be updated in the future to list ECO mounting options). |
| 55-4b | CTD integration (Standard Connectors), SBE 25, includes CTD housing mount brackets, T, C, and P sensor mounts, and CTD to ECM cable | |
| 55-4c | CTD integration (Wet-pluggable Connectors), SBE 19/19plus, includes CTD mount brackets and CTD to ECM cable | |
| 55-4d | CTD integration (Wet-pluggable Connectors), SBE 25, includes CTD housing mount brackets, T, C, and P sensor mounts, and CTD to ECM cable | |
| SBE 55 Spares / Accessories | ||
| 17088 | Cable, ECM to release latch array, Standard connectors, 1.1 m (DN 30567) |
From Electronics Control Module (ECM) to
latch release module; 1 cable required for each 3-position latch
release module.
|
| 171792 | Cable, ECM to release latch array, Wet-Pluggable connectors, 1.1 m (DN 32810) | |
| 801695 | Cable, ECM to computer, Standard connector, 20 m (DN 33193) |
From Electronics Control Module (ECM) to
computer, for setting up system and downloading data.
|
| 801696 | Cable, ECM to computer, Wet-Pluggable connector, 20 m (DN 33194) | |
| 172259 | Cable, ECM to CTD (19/19plus/25), Standard connectors, 1.2 m (DN 33191) |
From Electronics Control Module (ECM) to
SBE 19, 19plus, or 25 CTD.
|
| 172260 | Cable, ECM to CTD (19/19plus/25), Wet-Pluggable connectors, 1.2 m (DN 33192) | |
| 17120 | 2-pin sea cable extension, Standard connectors, 2 m (DN 30588) |
Female end connects to Electronics
Control Module (ECM) end cap; male end connects to sea cable. Many users leave
extension connected to ECM, & make connection to sea cable at end of
extension (instead of at end cap, which is crowded with a number of
connectors & may be difficult to access).
|
| 171743 | 2-pin sea cable extension, Wet-Pluggable connectors, 2 m (DN 32763) | |
| 801714 | 4-liter ECO water sample bottle (spare) | ECO water sample bottle is uniquely designed for ECO Sampler. |
