Zebra-Tech
Anti-fouling wipers for optical sensors
Zebra-Tech in Nelson, New Zealand, designs and builds rugged instruments for use under water. It is best known for the Hydro-Wiper, which keeps the optical windows of sensors free from fouling so that measurements keep working longer between service visits.
Featured products
The Hydro-Wiper comes in several versions, rated for 30 or 200 metres depth.
Battery powered
Hydro-Wiper Self-Contained
A stand-alone wiper with its own batteries, lasting more than six months at one wipe an hour.
Logger controlled
Hydro-Wiper Data-Logger Controlled
Powered and triggered by the station’s logger, so the wipes are synchronised with the measurements.
Several sensors
Multi-Wipe
A custom version that keeps up to three instruments clean.
Cameras
Hydro-Wiper for camera housings
Custom versions that keep the window of an underwater camera clean.

Fits your sensors

Controlled by the station
With a logger-controlled Hydro-Wiper, the wipe happens just before the measurement.
