compared with the cost of the instrument and its deployment. Routine
replacement of O-rings, therefore, is cheap insurance.
Drying agent
If the logger is closed up in a hotter, more humid environment than the
deployment environment and then plunged into cold water, internal condensation
can result. Since condensation may cause the circuitry to malfunction, it is
advised in such circumstances that, after the logger is set up and before it is
closed for deployment, a small pack of desiccant be placed on the battery side of
the circuit board above the battery mount.
A desiccant plastic “pocket” should be installed before adding a desi-pack. The
pocket is an L-shaped piece of plastic designed to keep any moisture absorbed
by the desi-pack off the electronics.
If your application requires desiccant, please contact RBR for more information.

There are no user-repairable parts of the logger. Any attempt at repair, whether
successful or not, without prior authorization from RBR Ltd. will void the warranty.
If it is necessary to return the product to RBR for an upgrade, repair, or
calibration; please review the detailed shipping information on our website before

Calibration
We recommend that you verify the calibration of your data logger before any
critical deployment, periodically once a year, or if you suspect the calibration to
be out of specifications. Discuss your calibration needs with RBR. In some
cases, you will be recommended to return the instrument to RBR to have it
checked and re-calibrated. Please contact us for our current calibration fees.
