Installation
Various installation factors can affect the performance of
the iBCN. Install the unit in a location that will ensure
that, at the surface, the head assembly will be vertical and
well out of the water.
Keep the antenna above and clear of metal obstructions.
Nearby metal can absorb some of the RF energy.
4.1 Alternative Power Options
The iBCN typically uses a 9 x CR123A Lithium battery
tube; however, other power options are available for the
head assembly.
Refer to the MetOcean Mission Life Estimator for details
on the mission life of the various power options.
