Product Description
The Directional Waverider hardly needs any introduction: it is the world’s standard for measuring wave height and wave direction. Its success is due to the proprietary well-proven and accurate Datawell stabilized platform sensor, enabling wave height measurements by a single accelerometer. For the wave direction, direct pitch and roll measurements are performed needing no integration. In combination with horizontal accelerometers and a compass this forms the complete sensor unit, the heart of the instrument.
The DWR-MkIII comes standard with the Datawell HF link for ranges up to 50 Km over sea. For larger ranges the HF link can be combined or replaced with Iridium, Argos or Orbcomm satellite communication.
The highlights:
Real time measurement of wave height with halfhourly heave and directional spectra updates.
HF link up to 50 km over sea. The proprietary Datawell HF link module is easy replaceable if a different transmission frequency is required.
LED flashlight integrated in the top of the antenna increasing the buoy’s visibility.
GPS receiver for buoy positioning has now become a standard feature of the DWR-MkIII, and facilitates its retrieval.
Integrated datalogger based on the latest flash card technology.
A water temperature sensor in the mooring eye providing sea surface temperature
High capacity primary cells operating reliably and safely under all wave conditions and weather circumstances for up to three years without replacement.
Built-in energy meter reports an accurate estimation of the remaining operating life.
