Page 16
Gently place the MIDAS CTD+ into the clamping brackets
on the water sampler frame, with the sensors towards the
bottom of the frame. Slide the upper bracket so that the
clamps fit into the grooves in the instrument housing. Fix
the upper bracket tightly to the frame. Now replace the
other half of the clamps, and screw into place.
Repeat this procedure to fit the EcoLab system into the large
clamps.
Using the lead supplied, connect the instrument to the
motor unit. The lead may be held to the frame by means of
cable ties.
3.3.3. Loading The Water Bottles
The motor and frame are designed to work with 12 x 2.5 litre water bottles. The bottles should be
fixed to the frame as follows.
Locate the hole in the mounting block of the bottle onto the screw of the bottle mounting ring, as
shown, and then depress the white plunger. This allows the top of the bottle to slide into place in the
top part of the frame. The white plunger is spring loaded, and should release into the hole in the
frame, locking it in place.
Arm the bottles using the following procedure:
Push forward the release lever, and secure in place with the
rotating plate.
