SEA CON?s New Ultra Series Developed in response to the needs of both the offshore oil and renewable en- ergy industries, SEA CON?s new ULTRA series is larger than other SEA CON con- nectors and is suitable for high power. This connector range has a depth rating to 30,000 ft. (15,000 psi pressure rating mated/10,000 psi open face) and is avail- able in three sizes; 30, 45 and 50 with the number of the connector indicating its overall diameter (in tenths of inches) of the base connector pair. Other key features include: front and rear pressure rated; inserts reversible between shells, mean- ing the sockets can be on the bulkhead, suitable for power packs, batteries; Þ eld installable and serviceable; and simple designwww.seaconworldwide.com DeepSea Power & Light: 220Vac SeaLite Sphere DeepSea Power & Light released the- 220Vac version of the SeaLite Sphere, taking this LED light to the next level by extending the range of input voltages available for the subsea market. SeaLite Sphere previously covered both low (10- 36Vdc) and high voltages (120V) in AC and DC. This powerful, dimmable, and compact LED light is now available for 220-275Vac (50/60Hz) and 275-385Vdc input as well. The SeaLite Sphere uses the same con- nector choices, mounting bracket, input voltages, and easy dimming options that have been used with the Halogen Multi SeaLite family of lights for many years. The LED SeaLite Sphere successfully operates around the world, from splash zones to depths of 6000m and beyond.

The DS5X is a multiparameter water quality sonde, capable of measuring up to 15 water quality parameters simul- taneously. The memory capacity of up to 120,000 measurements allows us- ers to deploy the sonde in situ for long periods of time. With its central brush mo-tors, the DS5X is also ideal for extended deployments where biofouling may other- wise become an issue. As with the other Series 5 multiparameter sondes, the DS5X allows optimized combinations of sensors and accessories to suit water quality moni- toring applications in all environmental water sources such as rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs, oceans, bays, estuaries and groundwater aquifers. The DS5X can be used in a broad range of applications including dredge monitoring, long term in-situ environment monitoring and buoy based applications. www.osil.co.uk Email: [email protected] Cable-Free ZLand System Fair Þ eldNodal enhanced the ZLand nodal system, the latest addition to the compa- ny?s premier cable-free seismic acquisition lineup. These new nodes feature longer recording times and the ability to add ex- ternal sensors. The new ZLand nodes are available in one- and three-component versions. Both models allow data downloads in half the previous time and extend recording time to 36 days or more. The one-component node is smaller and even lighter weight than the original ZLand node. www.fair Þ eldnodal.comProducts Four pin Addition to Range of API Connectors To support the growing demand for API connectors - the MacArtney Underwater Technology Group is ready with a 4-pin addition to the Mac API Power and Signal Con- nector range. The 4-pin connector features a compact, rugged design that the company says is ideal for securing critical connectivity and optimal design for underwater equipment solutions. The new con- nector is especially applicable for riser monitoring, drilling control and BOP (blow out preventer) systems. From draft to delivery, the Mac API 4-pin connector is designed to comply with American Petroleum Institute (API) standards 16D and 17E - for use in critical and strictly regulated environments. The connector is tested to full ocean depth and has an operational depth rating of 4000m. In addition, the connector has an op- erational voltage of 600 V and can take 10 A per pin. The Mac API 4-pin connector will work at temperatures ranging from -15 to +60 degrees Celsius. www.macartney.com January/February 2013 58 MTRMTR #1 (50-64).indd 58MTR #1 (50-64).indd 581/30/2013 11:32:40 AM1/30/2013 11:32:40 AM
