6. OPERATION
In this operational section, the pre-deployment, deployment and recovery procedures are described.
6.1 PRE-DEPLOYMENT
CHECKING
6.1.1 Preliminary
Before using the acoustic release for an operation, check the equipment configuration.
An acoustic release is identified by its address. A reference sheet (as-built) stipulates the implemented
electronic hardware configuration for each acoustic release complete with the equipment's reference.
It is advisable to test the acoustic release's main functions (interrogation, release, etc.) prior to using it in any
operational situation.
Place the active acoustic head of the remote control unit Transmitter close to the Acoustic Release acoustic
head.
The next sections go through the commands to be tested: RELEASE, PINGER ON, TELEMETRY and
SIMPLE RANGING.
If you use a TT301 remote control unit, please refer to the TT301 user manual.
