CB-450 Pre-deployment Testing
Perform system tests
Important:
Never
deploy the buoy without first preforming all system tests.
Check that the battery voltage is near 12VDC by placing the leads of a voltmeter on pins 4 (red) and 7 (black) of a P0A or POB.
Note the voltage and the proceed to checking the solar charging.
Check solar charging by placing the buoy in direct sunlight with at least one panel facing the sun. Allow it to charge for several
hours and then immediately check the voltage again. It should be greater than 12.5 VDC.
Note:
If the voltage is low, allow it to charge for an extended period of time.
and establish communications using the
or if you purchased a PC controllable
data logger use
Confirm all sensors are reporting correct values, that the time/date and sample intervals are correct.
Check system diagnostics for any out of range errors.
