RMS Noise
(at temperature
equivalent of 8.5 °C)
NAvg Noise (°C)
1 0.000673
2 0.000408
4 0.000191
8 0.000133
16 0.000081

Note:
NAvg = number of A/D cycles per sample.
Interval between samples (seconds)
= (0.133 * NAvg) + 0.339
External Power
RS-232 (standard):
8 – 15 VDC at 15 milliamps average
RS-485 half-duplex (optional):
8 – 15 VDC at 10 milliamps average
Materials
Titanium pressure case rated at
10,500 meters (34,400 feet)
Weight
In water: 0.5 kg (1.2 lbs)
In air: 0.9 kg (2.0 lbs)
Notes:
1
NIST-traceable calibration applying over the entire range.
2
Time to reach 63% of final value following a step change in temperature.
Note:
If the SBE 38 is sampling data
and the voltage is less than
6.5 volts for 10 consecutive
scans, the SBE 38 halts sampling
and displays a low battery
indication in the data.
