Seaguard WLR replaces iconic WLR-7
For many, many years the Aanderaa (AADI) WLR-7 Water Level Recorder and it’s deep water counterpart, the WLR-8, were standard tools for oceanographic and hydrographic surveyors. Used to acquire precision sea level data sets to compensate for tidal variations as part of manifold surveying activities, a WLR was just about the first instrument to be pencilled in on manifests for survey projects. Time and technology move on and, recently, AADI announced the release of a specific variant of their multi-faceted Seaguard range to target the acquisition of water level data.
The resultant Seaguard WLR is offered in 0-30, 0-60 and 0-300m standard depth ranges and provides pressure measurement accuracy to +/-0.04%FSO. In common with all Seaguard variants, a Windows CE based datalogger with LCD colour touch screen provides the user portal for instrument and sensor configuration. Likewise, the Seaguard WLR can also host extra AADI “Smart Sensors” for current, C/T/D, Dissolved Oxygen, etc data acquisition either through direct top plate fixings or via remote cable connections. Seaguard Studio software supports the product enabling fast and simple presentation of results.
