Paroscientific DigiQuartz Depth Sensor

Digiquartz® Transducers are incorporated into submersible housings as depth sensors. All depth sensor ranges are available with either frequency outputs or integral intelligent electronics with bi-directional digital communications. Typical application accuracy is better than 0.01% with parts-per-billion resolution, low power consumption, and excellent long-term stability.

Intelligent Depth Sensors with dual RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces allow complete remote configuration and control of all operating parameters, including resolution, sample rate, choice of engineering units, integration time, and sampling requests. Commands include: Single sample and send, synchronized sample and hold, continuous sample and send, and special burst sampling modes. Other features include support for both serial loop and multi-drop networking, selectable baud rates up to 115,200 baud, high-speed continuous pressure measurements, a power management “sleep” mode, data formatting features, synchronization of measurements with time-based integration, unit identification commands, and 2 or 4 wire RS-485 transmission distances greater than 1 kilometer.
