Physical Checks
Perform the following prior to deployment:
1.
Charge the battery fully.
WARNING!
Whenever charging the batteries, remove the Kynar closure strip and
purge plug. If any venting should occur, the end cap will push back,
allowing the venting to occur harmlessly. Be sure to reinstall the Kynar
closure strip and the purge plug prior to deployment.
Reinstall the Kynar strip and purge plug after charging the battery. Purging is strongly recommended (see
for procedure)
CAUTION!
Ensure that the purge plug is properly installed prior to deploying the
beacon.
2.
Check the beacon configuration:
Be sure that the beacon is configured in a manner that is compatible with your top-side unit and
the operating environment. Query the beacon via the serial port, and modify as needed. Record
the settings of the beacon; the topside needs to be configured to work with the beacons settings.
3.
Check the mechanical configuration:
Check and note the range of the pressure sensor installed. Do not operationally exceed the depth
rating of the pressure sensor. If the beacon is being clamped to an object do not apply excessive
force. Do not clamp the beacon where the end cap O-rings seal to the tube. This can distort the
tube and compromise the O-ring seal.
4.
Check the overall wiring.
