| Definition | A self-recording instrument with speed and direction sensors as standard and optional conductivity, temperature and pressure sensors. Speed is measured by a neutrally-buoyant styrene impeller mounted in a jewelled main thrust bearing and PTFE radial guides. Two magnets are fitted to the impeller and a reed switch fitted inside the pressure housing counts the rotations of the impeller. Direction is sensed using a Valeport two axis, gimballed flux-gate compass. Temperature is sensed by a Valeport platinum resistance thermometer (PRT) or thermistor, depending on the response and specification required. Conductivity is sensed by Valeport Inductive coils and pressure by a strain-gauge transducer. Sensor accuracy is 1.5% for speed, +/- 0.25 degrees for direction, +/-0.02C for PRT temperature, +/-0.1C for thermistor temperature, +/-0.003mS/cm for conductivity and 0.1% to 0.005% full-scale for pressure depending on sensor range. The vector average is based on a 5 second period during which impeller counts are measured and a single compass reading is made. An average period can be any multiple of 5 seconds up to a maximum of 30 minutes. For the optional parameters, the sample is taken at the end of the sample period and averaged over the averaging period.
