1.7 Pressure Ratings
Pressure ratings may differ between installed sensors and the instrument body, and
deployments should never exceed the shallower of these ratings. For example, a 500m
instrument equipped with a 6000dBar pressure sensor is limited to deployments of 500m depth
or less. Similarly, a 6000m instrument equipped with a 500dBar pressure sensor is also limited
to deployments of 500m depth or less.
The instrument pressure rating is identified on the end of the instrument, adjacent to the
shackle. Typical ratings for AML-3 LGR instruments are 500m and 6000m.
