RBRquartz³Q

The RBRquartz³ Q tide and wave recorder uses an integrated Paroscientific Digiquartz® pressure sensor for the best-in-class initial accuracy (10ppb) and low drift performance. The RBRquartz³ Q is intended for long-term autonomous or real-time observations of water level, tides and waves. The stable pressure sensor is able to resolve small changes in water level over long deployments. Flexible measurement schedules and burst sampling permit applications for tide, wave, and sea level measurements. The RBRquartz³ Q has a large memory capacity, sufficient power for extended deployments, and USB-C or Wi-Fi download for large data files.

• Long deployments
• Quartz stability
• 240M readings
• Up to 16Hz sampling
• USB-C download
• High accuracy

RBRquartz³BPR

The RBRquartz³ BPR (bottom pressure recorder) uses an integrated Paroscientific Digiquartz® pressure sensor for the best-in-class initial accuracy, resolution and low drift performance. The RBRquartz³ BPR is intended for long-term autonomous or real-time observations of water level, tides, and tsunamis in deep water. The high resolution (10ppb) and accuracy (0.01% FS) quartz pressure sensor is able to detect minuscule changes in water level from the bottom of the ocean. Continuous measurements allow the RBRquartz³ BPR to be used for tsunami detection and early-warning systems when connected to a cabled real-time network. Flexible measurement schedules and configurable integration times permit applications for tide and sea level measurements when powered on internal batteries.

• Long deployments
• High accuracy
• 240M readings
• Up to 16Hz sampling
• USB-C download
• 10ppb resolution

RBRconcerto³D.alt.tilt

The RBRconcerto³ D.alt.tilt is a unique data logger dedicated to total water depth. Equipped with a 3-axis tilt sensor, and a 200Hz altimeter, the logger provides complete distance-to-surface and distance-to-bottom data. The instrument also includes a depth channel capable of both continuous and intermittent bursts. The RBRconcerto³ D.alt.tilt is available in a configuration that supports wave measurements up to 16Hz.

• 240M readings
• Up to 16Hz sampling
• USB-C download
• Realtime communication options
• Twist activation
• Wi-Fi ready
• Rugged and compact for extended deployments

RBRconcerto³APT

The RBRconcerto APT is a combined triaxial quartz accelerometer and a bottom pressure recorder. Achieving 10ppb resolution and 0.01% accuracy make the RBRconcerto APT recorder ideal for deep-sea early earthquake detection and tsunami monitoring, providing the most opportunity to save life and property. Designed for both
autonomous installation or cabled observatories, it has equipment capabilities to a 20Hz strong – and weak motion seismometer and tsunameter.
