e. Using a 9/16″ socket wrench, tighten down the regulator bracket until it is snug and the lock
washers are flattened. Do not over-tighten as this may bow or crack the regulator bracket.
f. Replace the foam inserts to the data well. Feed the 6-pin solar plug through foam insert with
the small diameter hole.
Buoy Plate Re-installation
Note: It is recommended that new desiccant be added at this point in the process.
1. Reconnect the solar plug to the receptacle at the bottom of the X2-CB.
2. Align the X2-CB or pass-through plate with the mounting holes on the buoy and verify that the large
O-ring is in good condition, clear of debris and lightly greased.
3. Reattach the plate using a 9/16″ socket wrench and the original set of bolts and lock washers,
tightening in a cross-pattern as shown below.
4. Re-attach the buoy solar panel.
5. Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage between
of the X2-CB SOLAR
port. This should read close to the voltage of the new battery (~12V to 15V).
Hand-tighten solar regulator bracket to the top
battery using original mounting hardware.
Tighten bolts in a cross-pattern to ensure even
load distribution.
