Surveyor 4a Setup
Press the
OFF/ON
key. The temporary welcome display is displayed, followed by the Main Surveyor
4a screen. When received directly from the factory, D/T is the Surveyor time and IBV is its internal
battery voltage.
Complete the following basic setup in NoConn mode.
2.1 Selecting Interface Modes
The Surveyor 4a allows six different interface modes or connections which determine the basic
message displayed on the instrument history line. To select the interface mode, no cables can be
connected to the Surveyor 4a (NoConn Mode).
1.
In NoConn Mode, select
SETUP/CAL
then select
SETUP
.
2.
Highlight Sonde I/F:Mode and press
SELECT
.
3.
Highlight the number that corresponds to the appropriate connection.
•
Select 0 if the Surveyor 4a will be connected to a Series 4 Sonde equipped with a RS232
hardware interface.
•
Select 1 if the Surveyor 4a will be connected to a Series 4 Sonde equipped with a
RS422/RS485 hardware interface.
•
Select 2 if the Surveyor 4a will be connected to a Series 3 multiprobe (DataSonde 3
version 1.20 and higher, Recorder, Reporter, H20, or H20G).
•
Select 3 to interface with Series 3 multiprobes using Terminal mode.
4.
Press the
DONE
key.
5.
Make cable connections to the Surveyor 4a.
6.
Power the Surveyor 4a on. The history line will reflect the interface mode. For all modes,
except Terminal, the Surveyor 4a will try each baud rate available, starting with highest baud
rate, until it established communications with the Sonde. For Terminal mode, the baud rates
must be manually entered to match the mulitprobe and the Surveyor 4a baud rates to allow
communication. See XXXX for more information selecting baud rates. The history line will
reflect the interface mode.
Note:
When the Surveyor 4a connects to a Series 3 Sonde, the Surveyor 4a will reconfigure the following
mulitprobe settings: enables all the parameters; selects conductivity in the conductivity/resistivity column;
selects salinity in the salinity/TDS column, enables conjunctivitis autoranging; enables turbidity autoranging (if
the DataSonde 3 revision is
≥
1.40 or the H20 revision is
≥
2.00); selects %Sat in the %Sat/mg/L column (if
the DataSonde 3 revision is
≥
1.40 and < 1.60, or H20 revision is
≥
2.00 and < 2.10).
2.2 Setting the Time and Date
1.
From the Main screen, select
SETUP/CAL
>
SETUP
.
2.
Highlight Clock using the
DOWN
cursor key and press
SELECT
. The Date screen will be
displayed.
3.
Enter the new date (MMDDYY). Use the
RIGHT
and
LEFT
cursor keys to highlight the numbers
at the center of the screen: 0123456789. When the correct number is highlight press
SELECT
.
For example, for January 8, 2004 enter 010804.
