Measure pressure based Waves with the Aanderaa Wave Sensors- compact fully integrated sensors for measuring wave and tide conditions The 5218 wave sensor is designed to be mounted on the Aanderaa SeaGuard top-end plate or connected to SmartGuard using AiCaP CANbus or in other measurement systems using the RS-232 interface. The 5218R wave sensor sensor is designed for use with long cables by means of RS-422 full duplex interface. Both wave sensors are based on a silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor. The pressure measurements are sampled and temperature compensated by an advanced Digital Signal Processor. The wave sensor application areas are in fixed installations, either deployed in a seabed installation in shallow waters, or mounted onto a fixed structure in the upper water column. The tide measurement is an average of the hydrostatic pressure measured over a time period of 10 seconds to 8 minutes (integration time configurable by the user). The update interval is between 1 second and 255 minutes. The wave measurements are based on the pressure time series measured over a time period of 64 second to 17 minutes (configurable by the user). The update interval is between 1 second and 255 minutes. The wave and tide sensor output parameters are: Pressure Tide Level Tide Pressure Temperature Significant wave height Maximum wave height Mean period Peak period Energy wave period Mean zero crossing period Wave steepness and irregularity of sea-state Since all calibration and temperature compensation data are stored inside the sensor, the parameters are by default presented directly in engineering units without any external calculation.
