(see SBE 45 MicroTSG User’s Manual for complete details)
Deployment
1.
Verify setting of Power-Up Jumper J1 (see product configuration sheet on manual front cover for factory-setting):
•
Autopower (default) – pins 1 and 2. The MicroTSG wakes up when power is applied.
•
Normal – pins 2 and 3. The MicroTSG power up (wakes up) when there is a pulse on the serial lines. In this configuration,
the MicroTSG can be commanded into a quiescent (sleep) state with the
QS command.
If the factory-setting listed on the product configuration sheet does not match your desired operation, see the manual for
procedures for accessing the PCB.
2.
Mount MicroTSG on ship, with electrical connector at top, using four

-inch bolt holes on sides. Provide clearance as follows:
•
Bottom — 152 mm (6 inches) clearance for removal of the bottom plate, to allow access for replacing the anti-foul cylinder
and cleaning.
•
Top — 305 mm (12 inches) clearance for removal of the top plate, to allow access for removing sensors and electronics.
•
Sides — small clearance by using washers with the mounting hardware, to prevent binding when removing the top or
bottom plate.
3.
Install piping connections to MicroTSG’s 3 /
8
-inch U.S. Standard NPT threads.
4.
Wiring to MicroTSG:
A.
Install I/O cable connector, aligning long pin with small hole on MicroTSG I/O connector.
B. Tighten locking sleeve on I/O cable connector.
C. Connect I/O cable connector to computer serial port.
D. Connect I/O cable connector’s red and black wires to power supply (8-30 VDC).
Communication Setup Parameters
1.
Double click on the SEATERM icon.
2.
Once the main screen appears, in the Configure menu select the SBE 45 TSG. Input:
•
Serial Port: COM1 through COM10 are available
•
Baud Rate: 4800 (or other if applicable)
•
Data Bits: 8
•
Parity: No Parity
•
Mode: RS-232 (full duplex)
Sampling Modes
User-selectable modes include:
•
Polled sampling – The MicroTSG takes one sample and sends the data to the computer. Polled sampling is useful for testing.
•
Autonomous sampling – The MicroTSG samples data at pre-programmed intervals, defined by the Interval= command, and
sends the data to the computer. The MicroTSG does not enter quiescent (sleep) state between samples.
•
Serial Line Sync - A pulse on the serial line causes the MicroTSG to wake up, take and output a single sample, and enter
quiescent (sleep) state automatically.
