    The ECO is the ideal small-boat water sampler for coastal, estuarine, and large lake ecological monitoring. It is available in a threeor six-bottle configuration with 4-liter ECO sample bottles. Lanyards are rigged to hold bottles open when attached to the release latches. A pressure-proof electromagnet is energized on command to trigger a lanyard release.

    ECO Water Sampler

    With one 3-position lanyard release assembly & 3 bottles

    SBE 55

    Configured with two 3-position lanyard release assemblies (for 6 bottles)

    SUMMARY Small, lightweight, robust water sampler package with open structure for better flushing and less drag Three or six 4-liter bottles Integrates with Sea-Bird CTDs Autonomous (pre-programmed) or real-time data acquisition and water sampling; bottle firing in any order Depths to 600 meters DESCRIPTION The ECO is the ideal small-boat water sampler for coastal, estuarine, and large lake ecological monitoring. The ECO is light and economical and can be integrated with an SBE 19, 19plus, 19plus V2, 25, 25plus, or 49* CTD. It is available in a three- or six-bottle configuration with 4-liter ECO sample bottles, uniquely designed for the ECO. The ECO can operate autonomously on internal batteries and be programmed to close bottles at selected depths, allowing deployment using non-electrical wire or line. It also can be used with an SBE 33 Carousel Deck Unit for real-time CTD data acquisition and water sampling. Real-time operation requires an electro-mechanical cable and slip-ring equipped winch. (*Note: SBE 49 integration for real-time operation only.) The bottle closing mechanism is a magnetically actuated lanyard release latch derived from the SBE 32 Carousel Water Sampler, with a long history of reliability and ease-of-use. Lanyards are rigged to hold bottles open when attached to the release latches. A pressure-proof electromagnet is energized on command to trigger a lanyard release, allowing the bottle to close. The ECO has one or two 3-position lanyard release assemblies. Each release assembly is connected to the ECOs Electronics Control Module by a separate cable, allowing easy do-it-yourself expansion from a three- to a six-bottle system. The ECO includes the Electronics Control Module (ECM), one or two lanyard release assemblies, three or six 4-liter ECO sample bottles mounted in saddle brackets and fastened with band clamps, stainless steel guard frame with integral lifting bail, and mesh panels for mounting the ECM, CTD, and other sensors that may be integrated with the CTD (e.g., dissolved oxygen sensor, fluorometer, turbidity sensor, etc.). CTD mounting brackets and interface cable, auxiliary sensors, and (for real-time operation) SBE 33 Carousel Deck Unit are ordered separately. SOFTWARE Seasoft V2, our complete Windows software package, is included at no extra charge. Seasofts modular programs include: Seaterm, SeatermAF, SeatermV2 terminal programs for setup and data upload. Seasave V7 real-time data acquisition and simultaneous keyboard control of bottle firing. SBE Data Processing filtering, aligning, averaging, and display of CTD and auxiliary sensor data and derived variables.

    ECO Water Sampler


    WATER SAMPLER CONTROL
    Autonomous Operation (wire rope only, no electromechanical cable required) The ECOs Electronics Control Module provides power to and programmable control of the water sampler: With an SBE 19, 19plus, 19plus V2, 25, or 25plus CTD, the ECO monitors pressure data and fires bottles at user-programmed pressures or depths. It also records bottle number, firing confirmation, and 5 scans of instrument data for each bottle. Without a CTD, the ECO fires bottles at user-programmed elapsed times, and records bottle number and firing confirmation for each bottle fired. At the end of a cast, data from the CTD and the bottle summary file from the ECO are uploaded using the software provided. Nine high-quality alkaline D-size cells (LR-20) provide several months of daily operation (rechargeable Ni-MH batteries also available).

    SBE 55
    Real-Time Operation via Electromechanical Cable The ECOs Electronics Control Module can be connected to a winch cable for real-time use. Users can switch from autonomous to real-time operation at any time by connecting the winch cable to the ECM, and connecting the SBE 33 Carousel Deck Unit to AC power and the winch slip rings. This enables real-time CTD data acquisition and water sampler control from your computer keyboard or Deck Unit panel controls: With an SBE 19, 19plus, 19plus V2, 25, 25plus, or 49 CTD, the SBE 33 provides power and real-time control to the ECO, as well as power and real-time telemetry for the CTD and auxiliary sensors. Without a CTD, the SBE 33 provides power and real-time control to the ECO.
