Overview
The CB-1250 data buoy is constructed of an inner core of
cross-linked polyethylene foam with a polyurea coating
that provides 1250 lb. buoyancy. A stainless steel internal
frame provides topside lifting eyes and subsurface
mooring eyes for single- and multi-point mooring. An
integrated data well accommodates internal batteries,
which are recharged by (3) 71-watt solar panels mounted
on the buoy tower. The data well lid is available as a
NexSens X2-CB buoy-mounted data logger or as a
standard lid with included pass-through fittings.
