Re-arming Acoustic Release
The mooring lug in the end of the ASCENT-AR must be installed before the
ASCENT-AR is deployed. Mooring lug replacements are available from VEMCO.
Follow the steps below to install a mooring lug in an ASCENT-AR:
Remove the thick Retaining O-ring
from the end of the
ASCENT-AR
.
There are two flat sections next to
the O-ring. Use either flat spot to aid
in gripping the O-ring and removing
it.
Place the O-ring in a safe location for
use later. Replacements are
available from VEMCO.
STEP 1
Locate one end of the
retaining pin. The ends
can be seen inside the
O-ring groove.
STEP 2
Use a thin item, such as a pen or
pencil, to push one of the retaining
pin into the
ASCENT-AR
case and
cause the other end of the pin to exit
the case.
STEP 3
Remove the retaining pin
completely from the
ASCENT-
AR
case and set it in a safe
location for use later.
STEP 4
If your mooring lug has a line (rope, cable, etc.) already attached, then slide the
Retaining O-ring over the mooring lug and along the line until it is out of the way.
