Bambi
Max
manuals
instruct
operators
to
fasten
the
IVC
power
cable
to
the
IDS
hub
and
deployment
cable
using
zip
‐
ties.
Operators
are
instructed
to
provide
some
slack
during
installation.
Despite
this,
SEI
has
observed
incidences
of
the
power
cable
being
pulled
from
the
strain
relief
on
the
IVC,
resulting
in
water
ingress.
The
zip
‐
tie
may
gradually
work
along
the
power
cable
over
time
and
eliminate
slack.
Recommendations
SEI
recommends
that
operators
avoid
fastening
the
power
cable
to
the
IDS
or
IDS
deployment
cable
all
together.
Instead
the
operators
should
fasten
the
cable
directly
to
the
bucket
head
with
4
zip
‐
ties
as
illustrated
in
Figure
1.
Operators
must
ensure
that
there
is
at
least
6”
of
slack
in
the
line.
It
is
recommended
that
operators
quickly
check
that
there
is
adequate
slack
in
the
line
before
flight.
New
buckets
will
already
have
the
installation
shown
in
Figure
1.
