GetFault Show the fault condition of all auxiliary sensor channels. If a channel has a fault condition, turn the power off,
then on to remove the fault. if a channel is in a fault condition at the start of a measurement, that channel is
automatically turned off ro 0.625 seconds or SetVAuxDelay#= (# is 0, 1, 2, or 3 as applicable), which ever is
larger, to try to remove the fault.
Note:
A fault occurs when an attached sensor draws more that approximately 1.25 A of current.
The fault cut that channel off. To remove the fault:
• During data collection, pull the plunger switch out to the Off position, or send Stop .
OR
• Send SetVAuxPower#=N. Then send SetVAuxPower#=Y to start the fault condition
check again. Push the plunger switch in to the On position, or send
Start . Fault
conditions are stored with the measurement in the status field.
8.2 General setup
SetDateTime=x Set real-time clock. Format is yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss
SetBaudConsole=x 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400,19200, 38,400, 57600, 115200. Default is 9600.
Turn off executed tags to send command.
SetEchoConsole=x x=Y: show characters as they are entered.
x=N: Do not show characters.
SetExecutedTag=x x=Y: show XML tags during and after execution.
x=N: do not show XML tags.
Tags show one or more times during execution if the response to the command requires additional
time.
QS Puts the 25plus in low power mode. Main power is turned off.
Notes:
• The baud rate of the sensor must agree with the baud rate in the
Seaterm232 software.
• Send the baud rate command two times. The sensor changes to the new baud after
the first entry, then waits for the command to be sent again. In Seaterm232, go to the
Communications menu, then Configure . Select the new baud rate, then push OK .
• The sensor goes into a low power mode to save battery power if no command is
received within 2 minutes.
8.3 Pump setup
N O T I C E
Do not operate the pump of a CTD without water. It will cause damage to the pump.
SetMinCondFreq=x Minimum conductivity frequency for pump to operate, Hz, to prevent pump from operation before
the 25plus is in water. The pump stops when the conductivity frequency is below the correct
SetMinCondFreq=.
The Configuration Sheet shows the raw frequency output at 0 conductivity. Typical (manufacturer-
set default) for salt water = 0 conductivity fre 500 Hz. Fresh water = 0 conductivity
fre 5 Hz.
SetPumpDelay=x Time in seconds to wait after a correct SetMinCondFreq= value. Pump starts SetPumpDelay=
seconds after the frequency of the conductivity cell is more that SetMinCondFreq= to let the Tygon
tubing fill with water after the 25plus is submerged.
Range: 0–600 seconds. Default: 60 seconds.
