Deploying the Recorder
Install the Battery Board
Before installing the top cap and sealing the unit, perform these steps to secure
the battery board.
1.
Verify that the neoprene edging is in place on the top and bottom of the
board to provide a small layer of insulation and cushioning. When the top
cap is tightened, this holds the board in place and prevents movement
during deployment.
2.
Slide the battery board down into the recorder cylinder.
3.
Plug the cable into either channel connector, or both if using two
hydrophones. The
Ultrasonic Version
will have only one connector.
Perform a Pre-Deployment Test
At this point it is prudent to run a final system test.
1.
