Installing User-Supplied Electronics in CB-Series Data Buoys
NexSens CB-Series data buoys are flexible platforms that allow for use with both NexSens and user-
supplied electronics. For those wishing to integrate their electronics, including batteries, data loggers,
and modems, several accessories are available to facilitate installation inside the watertight data well
located in the center of the buoy.
Common Accessories
Battery mounts – While user-supplied electronics systems may receive power from NexSens-issued
battery harnesses, users may also supply and install their battery and solar
regulator systems in the data well. The bottom of the data well has two welded standoffs for connection
of battery mount posts, and hardware for securing user-supplied batteries, including mounting posts,
brackets, and foam inserts. Consult a NexSens Applications Engineer for available parts.
Data well plates – Buoys may be delivered with various data well top plate options:
with gland fittings for running user-supplied flying lead cables into the data
well, also compatible with bulkhead cable assemblies
Blank plate with only screw holes for users to drill custom hole patterns
No plate, user may machine custom plate using screw hole pattern from NexSens
In most cases, the CB-PTL is delivered with the buoy as it offers both flexibility and ease of use.
CB-PTL pass through lid.
