SPOTTER PLATFORM

### Temperature Sensor

Add multiple ocean-grade temperature sensors to your Spotter Platform to profile the water column in real time.

Monitor thermal stratification continuously with exceptional accuracy, minimal drift, and solar-rechargeable power.

## Deployment & Best Practices

**Configuration Options**

Ideal for moored coastal deployments with one Spotter or a network. Integrate up to two more devices (e.g. pressure/oxygen) per Smart Mooring (max 3 total).

**Maintenance**

Rinse with fresh water after retrieval.

**Remote Configuration & Controls**

Direct control via Spotter Dashboard, binary/ASCII commands, and Sofar remote support.
