7.3 iBCN-7 Battery Change
The iBCN-7 battery pack is particularly sensitive to
impact and vibration. If impact and vibration are
predicted during the deployment of a iBCN-7 beacon it is
suggested that contact wave springs be installed
between D cells in the battery tube.
For your convenience, six (6) wave springs (MetOcean
part # 101756) are included with the iBCN-7.
1.
Start with the 7 cell battery tube empty with neither top
or bottom cap installed.
2.
With the battery tube in a vertical position on a flat
surface, insert batteries from the top of the tube with a
wave spring in between each cell.
3.
As the batteries and wave springs are being installed,
ensure that each wave spring is seated around the
positive tab of the battery before loading the next battery.
4.
With all batteries and wave springs in the tube positioned
correctly, install the top cap to the top of the tube and
securely fasten the screws.
5.
Carefully flip the battery tube placing the top of the tube
against the flat surface. As this is done, it is important to
not disrupt the battery positioning and placement of the
wave springs.
6.
Place the bottom cap on the tube and press into place so
that both O-rings are recessed into the tube. This
requires a significant amount of force to press the bottom
cap in place. The cap needs to be pressed in far enough
so that the screws can engage the tube.
7.
Secure the bottom cap screws in a circular pattern to fully
engage the bottom cap into the tub
