AUTOMATIC TIDE RECORDER

AUTOMATIC TIDE RECORDER

The microprocessor-based Automatic Tide Recorder is directly connected to its tide sensor using a long cable. The data can be collected at fixed time intervals in multiples of minutes. The data is stored in an SD card and can be down loaded to a smart phone or computer by connecting the SD card to it. The stored data can be exported to Microsoft Excel/CSV file for detailed analysis. The data consists of Date and time of recording, Tide data and Battery volt.

SD card as storage memory : 8 GB or 32 GB Ram. Sufficient for years of continuous operation.
Supply voltage : 7.5 to 12 volts (Mostly powered by 12-volt lead acid battery with its charger.
Battery charger : Will be supplied to charge 12-volt 18Ah. Battery

Data down loading:
MANUAL DOWN LOADING: Down loading the data directly to a computer or mobile phone using
OTG device to connect the SD card or directly to a computer.
Procedure: Go to the site where the ATG is installed. Switch off the system and pull out the SD card from the system. The data from the SD card can be down loaded directly to Microsoft EXCEL/CSV
file along with date and time.
Data output: The stored data can be down loaded by removing and connecting the SD card to a computer or mobile phone to download the data in Microsoft Excel/CSV. file along with date and time.
Date: The data consists of Date and time of recording, Tide data and Battery volt.
Tide data measuring technique: The equipment during each recording, measures and takes in account of all the water level fluctuations for a period of time and then records the average fluctuation value making the measurement more accurate and reliable.

The microprocessor-based Automatic Tide Recorder is directly connected to its tide sensor using a long cable. The data can be collected at fixed time intervals in multiples of minutes. The data is stored in an SD card and
• Stores the Tide data by digitally removing all the water level fluctuations and stores the average
water level of a fixed duration.
• Data is stored in SD card along with date and time.
• The system works on DC and is powered by a battery which is charged continuously on mains
supply or Solar panel.
• Displays the present Tide values on its front panel display while manually pressing the display
button.
• Resolution of data: 12 Bit.

The microprocessor-based Automatic Tide Recorder has versatile applications across various sectors, making it valuable for numerous tidal and environmental monitoring projects. Here are some key applications:

  1. Coastal and Marine Research: Provides essential data for researchers studying tidal patterns, coastal erosion, and marine habitats, contributing to a better understanding of coastal ecosystems.
  2. Harbor and Port Operations: Assists in monitoring tide levels to ensure safe navigation, berthing, and cargo handling, reducing the risk of accidents and improving operational efficiency.
  3. Flood Prediction and Management: Supplies critical tide data for forecasting potential flooding, especially during storm surges, helping agencies prepare and respond proactively to mitigate flood risks.
  4. Hydrology and Water Resource Management: Enables accurate water level monitoring in rivers, estuaries, and reservoirs, which supports water resource management, dam operations, and water distribution planning.
  5. Climate Change Studies: Supports climate research by providing long-term tidal data, aiding in the analysis of sea-level rise and its impact on coastal communities and ecosystems.
  6. Fisheries Management: Helps fishing operations track tidal cycles to optimize fishing schedules, as tides influence fish behavior, making it a practical tool for sustainable fisheries.
  7. Renewable Energy: Aids in tidal energy generation projects by providing precise data for assessing tidal energy potential and optimizing equipment deployment in tidal energy installations.
  8. Recreational and Tourism Planning: Informs beach safety protocols and other recreational activities by tracking tides, ensuring that tourism-related activities are safe and well-informed by tide conditions.
