Tide Gauges

The MIDAS WLR replaces the popular Model 730T as Valeport’s Water Level Recorder / Seabed Tide Gauge.

Designed for long or short term deployments in offshore environments, or locations where a traditional shore based tide gauge is impractical, the MIDAS WLR may be moored in line or to the seabed. The standard instrument is fitted with a 0.01% accuracy pressure sensor and acetal housing for up to 500m depth rating, with a deep water titanium housed option also available.

The miniTIDE is a small Tide Recorder, designed for short term underwater deployments.

Fitted with a 0.01% temperature compensated piezo-resistive cell, the miniTIDE will record high accuracy pressure data for a period of 1 month at a 10 minute sampling interval, using a single alkaline C cell. This makes it ideal for use in short term projects or for academic studies. Available with a choice of pressure ranges, and with either 500m acetal or 6000m titanuim housings.

The TideMaster is a small, cost effective Water Level Recorder, specifically designed for applications where the user requires an accurate record of water height, but with the added option of meteorological data via a ultrasonic wind speed and direction sensor.

Suitable for use in fresh or salt water, the TideMaster can be deployed for up to 1 year, dependant on the sampling rate, with instrument set up and data retrieval via an optional display panel or using the PC software supplied. Alternatively, the system can be supplied with radio modules for real time data transmission.
