4.3. Shipping the Battery
Caution:
Batteries and equipment containing batteries should only be shipped in
accordance with local regulations. Refer to the IATA website (
www.iata.org
) for regulations
regarding air transport.
Caution:
If there is any doubt at all as to the integrity of a battery – for example, cracked or
dented casing – then it must not be shipped. Remove it from the equipment and dispose of
it according to local regulations.
Note:
Ensure that any replacement battery is of the same type as described in the product
brochure.
5. Assembly
The gradiometer system is supplied with battery and data logger attached to the beam, and
one or two separate gradient sensors as appropriate. The data logger, battery cassette and
connecting cables will normally be left attached to the beam, which is carried by the operator.
For the dual sensor version, the gradient sensors are spaced at a fixed 1m apart at the ends of
the beam.
To attach a sensor, loosen the plastic knobs to release the clamp and insert the sensor at the
desired working height with the connector at the top (see Figure 5). Rotate the gradiometer(s) so
that the heading arrow on the connector junction block label (see Figure 6) of each sensor is
pointing away from the operator, in the direction of survey. Re-tighten the plastic knobs, but do
not over-tighten.
