DEVELOPMENT STATUS OF SENSORS FOR
INCLUSION INTO
THE SK1000
USING
THE FSIS (Ferrybox Sensor Interface Standard)
A key design feature of the SeaKeeper 1000 system is interchangeable
modular sensors. This standardized system known as the
FSIS is being used by an increasing group of sensor
manufacturers, in some cases repackaging in-situ devices
for this flow-through architecture. The FSIS specifications
include the physical mounting template, as well as water
flow rates, tubing specs. electrical and data connectors.
Any interested manufacturer is encouraged to contact
SeaKeepers for more information. Scientists and managers,
please contact us for specific need sensors as there
are a number in development by a variety of manufactueres,
some of which are mentioned below.
