What to confirm before configuring the buoy
Both models are highly configurable integrated platforms. Listed measurement ranges describe available sensor options, not a claim that every sensor is supplied as standard. The final package must be engineered for the real water, location, anchoring, communications, autonomy and data platform.
- 01Confirm target parameters, ranges, sensor count and real-water interferences
- 02Confirm depth, current, waves, anchoring, theft protection, collision risk and retrieval
- 03Confirm measurement/reporting intervals, cloudy-day autonomy, solar exposure and maintenance interval
- 04Confirm 4G/Modbus, cloud platform, alarms, data format and project acceptance requirements
