Submersible Monitoring System

Arctic Rays released a compact Submersible Monitoring System for use in 1 atmosphere pressure housings. While designed speci? cally for manned submersible battery pods and electronics housings where imme- diate detection of leaks is critical, the monitoring system is ideal for all applications. The 90.5mm x 51mm x 19mm single-board system monitors for ground faults, leaks and includes on-board barometric pressure, tem- perature, and humidity sensors. The ground fault system monitors both poles of 2 independent DC busses up to 350V. The leak detection system can monitor up to 8 independent locations with the included remote self- checking water detection probes. The system has two on-board con? gu- rable alarm relays. It is electrically isolated and has ethernet and RS232 communications.
