Tide Meter Type DFT-3 Oceanographical Observation
Digital Fuess Tide Gauge Model DFT-3
This tide gauge tells the up-and-down motion of float floated on the water surface to a pulley through a wire, and observes a tide level from the degree of rotation angle of a pulley. This equipment is adopted as a standard machine of a Japanese tide level meter.
Observation purpose
- To tide level observation.
- To coast disaster Tsunami, Storm Surge…

Tidal observatory image
Features
- There is no slide of a wire and exact tide level observation is possible.
- The data file of the large size can be collected by adopting the Compact Flash card.
- Contained data is recordable in ASCII form.
- At the time of a power failure, it can be backed up at a built-in nickel metal hydride battery.
- Observational data is outputted by RS-232C.
