Abstract
An independently mountable sensor system for a wet-mateable subsea connector or a dry-mateable subsea connector having at least one of a receptacle connector body or a plug connector body with a pressure vessel; one or more sensors, a power source, a transmitter, a processor and a memory within the pressure vessel. The pressure inside the pressure vessel is maintained at a predetermined pressure and an antenna is provided in the sensor system. The pressure vessel includes an electromagnetically transparent section to permit electromagnetic waves to pass between the sensor system and an external receiver. The sensor system is configured to be mounted between a back end and a front end of the receptacle connector body, or between a back end and a front end of the plug connector body; or configured to be mounted to the connector body back end.
