PAR sensor (LI-COR) The RBR coda PAR (LI-COR®) instruments use cabled cosine (one hemisphere, LI-192) or spherical (omnidirectional, LI-193) PAR sensors. Cosine PAR sensor (LI-COR) Spherical PAR sensor (LI-COR) Parameter Value 400 to 700nm Wavelength range Calibrated range 0 to 10000µmol/m...
The sensor is ready for deployment. Ensure proper orientation of the yellow mark and the tab before each deployment. Inverted connection of your PAR sensor will result in incorrect or lost data. RBR#0008817revC...
The RBRcoda sensors use RS-232 patch cables to connect to power supplies and computers. Patch cables and underwater extension cables are sold separately and not included with the sensors. Refer to the RBR Cable Guide contact our support team for the list of available cables. ...
3 Maintenance 3.1 Cable maintenance Cable bend radius The smallest bend radius for RBR supplied cables is 15cm. Lubricating the connectors Lubrication improves watertight sealing, prevents corrosion, and reduces the force required to de-mate the connector. Use the silicone compound provided with your instrument.
3.2 DO sensor (OxyGuard) care and maintenance Storage Store the OxyGuard dissolved oxygen sensor in the dedicated storage cap to minimize fluid loss. Storage caps are provided with the instrument. Contact RBR if a replacement is needed. Storage cap O-ring The red O-ring of the OxyGuard sensor serves two...
RBR recommends calibrating your instrument before any critical deployment, periodically once a year, or if you suspect the readings to be out of specifications. Discuss your calibration requirements with RBR. In some cases, the instrument will need to be returned to RBR to have it checked and re-calibrated.
