SBE 8 Probe Configuration Selections -- MUST SELECT ONE

8-1[X] Cabled remote probe (80015.2X), [X = length] up to 3 m Remote probe (shown above) minimizes effect of instrument housing & its wake on data.

SBE 8 Wet-Pluggable Connector Option
8-3 Substitute Wet-pluggable (MCBH) connector for Standard (XSG) connector  
(Note: SBE 8 uses 6-pin AG-306 or MCBH-6M connector; photos are for illustration of differences between standard & wet-pluggable connectors).
Wet-pluggable connectors may be mated in wet conditions. Their pins do not need to be dried before mating. By design, water on the connector pins is forced out as the 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.
