5.3 Remove wet cap
Just before deployment, remove the wet cap and install the anti-fouling guard or the wet
cap and flow cells.
1. If necessary, unplug the cable from the sensor.
2. Remove the two plastic plugs from the wet cap. Keep them for future use.
3. Put the sensor over a sink or bucket and empty the solution of seawater from the wet
cap.
4. Put the sensor upright again.
5. Use a 5/32" hex key to remove the three 10-32 x 5/8" socket head cap screws from
the wet cap. Keep the screws to use with the anti-fouling guard.
6. Remove the wet cap. Keep the O-ring for future use.
7. Use a clean dry cloth to clean the sensor and the wet cap of any seawater.
8. Make sure to keep the wet cap, O-rings and plastic plugs for future use.
5.3.1 Attach anti-fouling guard and deployment cable
N O T I C E
Make sure that the screw-in boss seal is tightened or the sensor will flood and void the warranty.
1. Put the sensor on a flat surface with the external reference electrode end flange face
up.
2. Install the anti-fouling guard over the ISFET and external reference electrode.
• Use a 5/32" hex key to tighten the three 10-32 x 5/8" socket head cap screws that
secured the wet cap. Make sure to tighten completely.
3. If necessary, connect the deployment cable. If the sensor is to be deployed
autonomously, attach the dummy plug and lock collar onto the connector.
4. Make sure the pressure plug is fully seated.
5.4 Real-time data collection
Real-time data collection is only possible when the sensor is configured to output data
with every sample collected. Go to
Sensor , SeaFET , SeaFET Settings to change this
setting to transmit data in real-time under the Data tab.
5.4.1 Start data collection
1. Make sure that the sensor has power supplied and is connected to the software.
2. Make sure that there is a check in the box at "Transmit Data in Real Time."
3. Make sure that the "Output Format" is as selected.
4. Push Start .
5.4.2 Look at collected data
The user can monitor data in the Real Time Data or the Time Series graph. Information
about the data, such as error statistics, shows in the Acquisition Monitor , and the
collected data is saved to a file on the sensor.
