CSBUOY-DT

Buoy System with Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature


Campbell Scientific's CSBUOY-DT is a wireless, floating, self-contained package that allows fish farmers and water resource managers to monitor critical water quality parameters from the convenience of their office. The buoy requires a minimal amount of setup and can be deployed anywhere on the pond. This self-contained package can be easily moved from pond to pond.

The CSBUOY-DT includes a dissolved oxygen sensor, agitator brush (to generate water flow past the sensor), and a temperature probe. A datalogger that is pre-programmed to measure the connected sensors is installed at the factory.
