Replacing the Lithium Battery
To replace the battery:
1. Attach an earth-grounded wrist strap.
Before handling any of the H-ADCP boards, you must be sure that you always wear an earth-
grounding static protection strap. The electronics in the H-ADCP are very sensitive to electro-
static discharge (ESD).
ESD can cause damage that will not be seen immediately and will
result in early failure of electronic components.
2. Remove all power from the H-ADCP.
Wait a few minutes after turning the power off before removing the electronics stack.
This allows the transmit capacitors on the PIO board time to discharge.
3. Remove the transducer head assembly.
4. Remove the CPU board from the main electronic stack (see
Installing the Spare Boards Kit
).
5. Locate the lithium battery B1 (on the top side of the CPU board).
6. De-solder the two associated pins for B1 which are located on the underside of the CPU board.
