For more information on this new variant, please visit RBRtridente.
The size of the new variant is compatible with existing vehicle payload bays and, with RS-232 data being streamed via a Micro-Fit connector, user integration is simple.
RBR is well known for building instrumentation with exceptionally low power requirements, and the RBRtridente is no different. This allows integrators and their end users the capability to extend mission durations, be it with their AUV, glider, float, or another underwater vehicle, maximising science opportunities while deployed.
The RBRtridente is capable of making multiple fluorescence and backscatter measurements simultaneously and, with a high dynamic range, it permits exposure to full sunlight with very low detection limits. With a depth rating of 1250m for the dry bay version and 6000m for the existing wet bay version, it suits a wide variety of applications.
Parameters currently available include chlorophyll a, fDOM, phycocyanin, phycoerythrin, backscatter, and turbidity, and users can select a combination of any three of these parameters when ordering. Additional wavelengths are available upon request, with a number already scheduled to roll out soon.
