SBE 37-IM MicroCAT C-T (P) Recorder

Example: 37IM.13000 is an SBE 37-IM with 350 m housing and 350 m strain gauge pressure sensor. See table below for description of each selection:

PART # DESCRIPTION NOTES
37IM

MicroCAT C and T (pressure optional) Recorder with Inductive Modem - Includes mooring clamp for jacketed wire, 8 MB Flash memory, lithium battery (non-hazardous), AF24173 Anti-Foulant Devices, Seasoft software, and complete documentation.

37-IM MicroCAT includes:

  • Inductive Modem interface
  • Memory

Communicating with 1 or more 37-IMs requires use of Sea-Bird Inductive Modem Module (IMM) or Surface Inductive Modem (SIM), which provide serial interface between user’s computer & up to 100 IM instruments coupled to single cable. Purchase IMM/SIM & optional Inductive Cable Coupler (ICC) separately.

SBE 37-IM Housing (depth) Selections MUST SELECT ONE
37IM.1x000 350 m plastic housing  
37IM.3x000 7000 m titanium housing  
SBE 37-IM Pressure Sensor Range (depth) Selections MUST SELECT ONE
37IM.x0000 No pressure sensor Pressure sensor is installed in end cap, & is not field replaceable / swappable. While highest pressure rating gives you most flexibility in using MicroCAT, it is at expense of accuracy & resolution. It is advantageous to use lowest range pressure sensor compatible with your intended maximum operating depth, because accuracy & resolution are proportional to pressure sensor's full scale range. For example, comparing 2000 & 7000 m sensors:
  • 2000 m sensor:
    initial accuracy = 2 m (= 0.1% * 2000 m),
    resolution = 0.04 m (= 0.002% * 2000 m)
  • 7000 m sensor:
    initial accuracy = 7 m (= 0.1% * 7000 m),
    resolution = 0.14 m (= 0.002% * 7000 m)

SBE 37-IM Mooring Clamp Wire Size Selections (Specify clamp to match O.D. of mooring wire jacket) — MUST SELECT ONE
50357.I Wire guide & mounting clamp for 1/4 in. diameter mooring wire

Cable fits loosely through IM coupling core / wire guide, & is clamped only at mounting clamp. See document 67142. '.I' designation indicates that guide and clamp are to be installed on instrument at factory.

Thread for clamping to mooring cable:

  • 1/4 in. diameter: 1/4-28 UNF
  • 5/16 in./8 mm diameter: 5/16-24 UNF
  • 3/8 in. diameter: 3/8-24 UNF
  • 1/2 in. diameter: 9/16-12 UNC
  • 5/8 in./16 mm diameter: 5/8-18 UNF
  • 6 mm diameter: 1/4-20 UNF
  • 10 mm diameter: 7/16 -14 UNF
  • 12 mm diameter: 1/2-13 UNF

Clamp Size Note: Mooring wire is typically specified by wire size, not by outer diameter (O.D.) of the mooring wire jacket. Verify the wire jacket O.D. before selecting the clamp size. The clamp size must be less than or equal to the wire jacket O.D. but larger than the wire diameter. For example, Mooring System Inc.’s specifications for 3x19 wire rope (in 2016) are as follows:

Wire Diameter Jacket Diameter Recommended Sea-Bird Clamp
3/16 inch (5.0 mm) 0.255 inch (6.5 mm) 1/4 inch

SBE 37-IM Spares & Accessories
801542 AF24173 Anti-Foulant Device pair (spare, bagged, labeled for shipping) Anti-foulant devices fit into anti-foulant device cups at each end of conductivity cell. Anti-foulant devices included with standard shipment; these are spares.
Useful life varies, depending on several factors. We recommend that customers consider more frequent replacement when high biological activity & strong current flow (greater dilution of anti-foulant concentration) are present. Moored instruments in high growth & strong dilution environments have been known to obtain a few months of quality data, while drifters that operate in non-photic, less turbid deep ocean environments may achieve years of quality data. Experience may be strongest determining factor in specific deployment environments.
50441 SBE 37 & 44 lithium batteries (spare), package of twelve 3.6V AA cells (Saft LS 14500)

One set of batteries is included with standard shipment; 50441 are spares. Batteries are easily accessed by removing 2 screws from connector end cap & pulling out end cap. Shipping restrictions apply for lithium batteries; see SBE 37-IM manual for details. Click here to buy Saft LS 14500 from Amazon.

In 2008, original battery pack was replaced with red top battery holder, which uses 12 AA lithium batteries instead of 50243.1 battery set. See Application Note 89 for details.

801797 is battery holder, without batteries.

Price for 50442, which includes both battery holder (801797) & batteries (50441), is less than price when ordering battery holder & batteries separately. Sea-Bird is helping to absorb some cost for new battery holders by providing a reduced price.

Note: Newer MicroCATs (SMP & IMP with firmware > 4.0, and all IDO & ODO MicroCATs) use a battery pack with a yellow cover plate; the wiring of that pack is different from this one, and cannot be used with SBE 37-IM.

50442 Red top battery holder (7V nominal, Version 1) (PN 801797) and twelve AA lithium cells (PN 50441), for SBE 37 (SM, SMP, IM, IMP with firmware version < 4.0) and SBE 44
801836 37-IM/IMP/IMP-ODO/IMP-IDO and 39plus Internal Data I/O cable, 0.3 m (DN 33406) For uploading data quickly using internal RS-232 connector.
233540 Anti-foulant cap without hose barb, black (for use with SBE 37 [SM, SMP, IM, IMP, SI, SIP] with firmware version < 4.0) Anti-foulant cap holds AF24173 Anti-Foulant Device in place.
Note: Do not deploy MicroCAT with barbed anti-foulant device cap(s)!
50087.1 Cell filler/storage device with hose barbs (Application Note 34) This kit includes a syringe & tubing assembly, & 2 anti-foulant device caps with hose barbs. Remove installed anti-foulant device cap(s) & replace them with caps with hose barbs for cleaning & storage only.
  • Cleaning instructions require use of syringe & tubing assembly at intake end of conductivity cell (requiring 1 barbed cap).
  • Storage instructions require looping Tygon tubing from end to end of conductivity cell (requiring 2 barbed caps).
Do not deploy MicroCAT with barbed anti-foulant device cap(s)!
233186 High-head pressure port plug for muddy/biologically productive environments (Application Note 84), for use with SBE 37 [SM, SMP, IM, IMP, SI, SIP] with firmware version < 4.0 This pressure port plug extends beyond surface of instrument end cap, and has 4 horizontal vent holes connecting internally to a vertical vent hole. If you are deploying 37-IM in an orientation close to horizontal, with pressure port up, horizontal orientation of vent holes prevents deposit of sediment inside pressure port. Each of the 4 vent holes is larger than single vent hole in standard pressure port plug, significantly reducing possibility that biological growth will cover all holes. See Application Note 84.
31632 Storm Shipping Case (iM2950) - holds up to 4 SBE 37IMs

Storm shipping case with custom foam inserts holds up to 4 MicroCATs that do not include dissolved oxygen — IMP, IM, SMP, SM, SIP, SI.

  • Injection molded case with HPX resin plastic body, recessed wheels, automatic pressure equalization valve, hinged push-button latches, fold-down padded handle, & O-ring seal. Meets airline luggage regulations.
  • Inner dimensions:
    29 x 18 x 10.5 inches (74 x 46 x 27 cm).
  • Outer dimensions:
    31.3 x 20.4 x 12.2 inches (80 x 52 x 31 cm).

801542 AF24173 Anti-Foulant Device pair (spare, bagged, labeled for shipping) Anti-foulant devices fit into anti-foulant device cups at each end of conductivity cell. Anti-foulant devices included with standard shipment; these are spares.
Useful life varies, depending on several factors. We recommend that customers consider more frequent replacement when high biological activity & strong current flow (greater dilution of anti-foulant concentration) are present. Moored instruments in high growth & strong dilution environments have been known to obtain a few months of quality data, while drifters that operate in non-photic, less turbid deep ocean environments may achieve years of quality data. Experience may be strongest determining factor in specific deployment environments.
