Tide System Features
• High Accuracy tide data - ±2.7 cm over the range of -2 to 30°C
• Pre-configured for NOS Standard deviation (per NOAA CO-OPS standard)
• On-board data logging and real-time output provide data where/when you need it
• Telemetry options allow for remote reporting of tide data
• Low-power operation and rechargeable batteries allow for long-term unattended operation
• Surface barometer maintains accuracy with lower maintenance than vented cable systems
• PUCK v1.3 protocol-compliant for “plug-and-work” ease of system configuration
