_
Connect the cable’s RS-232 connector to an appropriate COM port on your computer (usu-
ally the 9-pin port used for COM1).
_
Connect the cable’s power input connector(s) to your power supply.
Caution : The “Standard” ADP RiverSurveyor system ( Figure 1-1 ) typically ships with a
24 VDC power supply (or optional internal/external batteries). If you will be applying
power to the ADP using a different external power source (e.g., automobile battery, vari-
able power supply, etc), be aware that the ADP requires a 12 to 24 VDC power supply to
operate. Do not exceed the 26 VDC maximum or damage to the electronics will occur.
Use “clean” power (e.g., filtered, no spikes).

Run some simple tests; see §
1.5
.
1.4.2. Interconnection Procedure – Mini-ADP RiverSurveyor System
_
Locate the Probe Cable for the Mini-ADP RiverSurveyor system (
Figure 1-2
) and connect
the cable’s keyed, 16-pin, wet-mateable connector to the ADP.
Caution : When mating the connector to the ADP, push the connector with enough force
to overcome the resistance of the wet-mateable pins. Push the connector until its face is
flush with the female bulkhead connector. Do not simply tighten the locking sleeve during
the mating process; just tightening the sleeve will not ensure proper pin alignment nor will
it supply the required force to ensure a waterproof seal.
_
Connect the cable’s DB-25 connector to the receptacle labeled
PROBE
on the Processing
Electronics box.
