Ocean Engineering

Ocean Engineering projects inevitably require that tailored instrumentation suites are put together for the specific needs of the project. This can be very time consuming, particularly when it comes to interfacing all the sensors together. Valeport has the benefit of over 40 years' experience in the design, manufacture and integration of precision oceanographic instruments, and today's range of products is designed specifically to facilitate the assembly of complex packages, as well as easy interface to third party systems.

VA500 Altimeter

The VA500 Altimeter delivers a new approach to the problem of underwater positioning. State of the art signal processing offers unrivalled range and performance from a 500kHz transducer. Millimetre precision, 0.1m – 100m range, RS232/RS485/0-5V & 0-10V analogue outputs with a wide range power supply address the needs of the ROV, AUV and Hydrographic community in a compact, robust package.

The option of integrating a high accuracy pressure sensor (0.01%) as used in the MiniIPS offers an unbeatable package for your underwater positioning requirements. More Info

Model 803 ROV Electromagnetic Current Meter

The Model 803 is designed specifically for use on ROVs and other underwater vehicles, providing real time relative water velocity information for pilots. It may be fitted to ROVs to provide actual through the water speeds, or fitted to Tether Management Systems to give measurement of local flow conditions. Measurements are updated every second and the ROVLog™ software provides a graphic and data display, and enables data to be logged to disk. More Info

MIDAS BathyPack Bathymetry Package

The BathyPack is one of Valeport's premier MIDAS products, using state of the art sensors to generate precision Sound Velocity and Density profiles for highly accurate depth and height data. The simple top-end PC software, BathyLog, also allows all profile data to be used to monitor and correct multiple miniIPS pressure sensors, giving you the complete picture with one integrated sensor suite. More Info

miniIPS Intelligent Pressure Sensor

The miniIPS is a precision underwater pressure sensor; 0.01% accuracy, a titanium housing and a choice of pressure ranges make it a cost effective solution for offshore engineers, vehicle pilots, and other operators who require highly accurate depth information in real time. The miniIPS is also compatible with Valeport's MIDAS BathyPack and BathyLog software, allowing the depth data to be continually updated for Density variations in the water column. More Info

miniCT Probe

The miniCT probe is Valeport latest direct reading Conductivity and Temperature sensor, featuring digital sampling techniques for improved performance, and high strength construction methods to ensure consistent performance and stability under extreme pressure. 500m acetal and 6000m titanium versions available, both with RS232 or addressable RS485 data outputs as standard. More Info

MIDAS CTD Profiler

The MIDAS CTD (previously known as the Model 606) is Valeport's premier CTD Profiler. High accuracy sensors (including ±0.01% pressure) and robust titanium design allow reliable operation to 6000m depth, under the harshest conditions. It also features truly synchronised sampling to ensure that all sensors are sampled at exactly the same point during a profile. Primarily for use as a self recording profiler, the MIDAS CTD also has a range of communications options for real time use, and the low power consumption and large memory also make it suitable for longer term deployments.

MIDAS CTD+ Multiparameter Profiler

The MIDAS CTD+ is a revolutionary Multiparameter CTD, with a wide choice of standard sensors. Featuring Valeport's latest 400 Series electronics, the CTD+ will sample all fitted sensors at exactly the same instant, at up to 8Hz. Advanced setup software allows a variety of sampling regimes including burst modes, delay starts, and conditional sampling. With up to 64Mbyte memory and internal battery pack, as well as a selection of real time output formats, the CTD+ is perfect for both profiling or fixed mooring applications. In addition, the CTD+ may be used with Valeport own water bottle carousel. More Info

MIDAS SVX2 Combined CTD/SVP

The MIDAS SVX2 is the latest version of Valeport's unique instrument. Recognising the conflict faced by users requiring the superior Sound Velocity data from an SVP, but still needing the Salinity and Density data from a CTD, the MIDAS SVX2 combines both technologies to give the best of both worlds. Now fitted with a 0.01% pressure sensor as standard, the SVX2 also uses synchronised sampling to ensure perfect profiles, and since the digital time of flight SV sensor is the most accurate in the world, it's also possible to compare the true sound velocity data with that generated by commonly used equations. More Info

Monitor CTD+

The MONITOR CTD+ utilises the same accurate, robust sensors and synchronised sampling techniques as the MIDAS range, but packaged as a smaller, lightweight unit to suit small boat or shallow water applications. The addition of a an extra sensor makes the MONITOR CTD+ a versatile and cost effective tool for gathering profiles of CTD and one other parameter of either Turbidity, Dissolved Oxygen or Chorophyll. More Info

Monitor CTD Profiler

Based on the leading MIDAS CTD Profiler, the Monitor CTD offers excellent performance but in a smaller, lightweight package for shallow water applications. With internal battery pack and large memory, the Monitor CTD is suitable for both self recording operations down to 500m depth, and real time use with a choice of data output protocols. More Info
