SBE 11plus Alarms
SEASAVE can set up an alarm in the SBE 11plus Deck Unit based on
minimum and maximum pressures, and/or for an altimeter integrated with the
SBE 9plus CTD.
Click Configure Outputs. In the Configure Outputs dialog box, click the
SBE 11plus Alarms tab.
Enter the desired values. Click OK or click another tab in
Configure Outputs.
Notes:
• The altimeter alarm is available only
for a 9plus with an altimeter. If the
selected configuration (.con) file
does not indicate a 9plus with an
altimeter, input fields for the
altimeter alarm are grayed out.
• The 11plus alarm also operates
on input from a bottom contact
switch on the 9plus. No setup is
required in SEASAVE for the bottom
contact switch.

Set Alarm set point at altimeter reading where you
want alarm to sound.
Set Alarm hysteresis greater than expected ship
heave (swell) to prevent on-off-on-off sounding of
alarm caused by ship heave.
Example: You want alarm to turn on at 10 m;
set set point = 10 m. There is a 0.5 m swell;
set hysteresis = 1 m, which should be sufficient to
account for possible 0.5 m upward movement due
to ship heave. Alarm sounds at 10 m above sea
bottom and stays on until altimeter goes above
11 m, when it shuts off until it falls to 10 m again.
Set Minimum pressure to
enable alarm greater than
approximately 20 db to prevent
alarm from turning on while
CTD is on ship deck or as it is
entering water (when altimeter
is measuring distance to deck
or to top of water surface).
Enable minimum / maximum pressure
alarm in 11plus; see drawing below.
Enable altimeter alarm in 11plus;
