OBS-5+ System 

1.  Introduction 

The manual describes the features of the OBS-5+

®

, as well as its use for 

surveys and battery-powered, internal-storage operations.  Using backscatter 
from a 780 nm laser diode and a patented dual-detection system (U.S. Patent 
Number 5,796,481), a calibrated OBS-5+ measures suspended sediment 
concentrations, suspended solids concentration (SSC), as large as 200 g L

–1

, 

which is about 10 times higher than standard OBS technology.   

Before installing the OBS-5+, please study: 

•

 

Section 2, 

Cautionary Statements

 

•

 

Section 3, 

Initial Inspection

 

2.  Cautionary Statements 

•

 

Although the OBS-5+ is rugged, it should be handled as a precision 
scientific instrument.  

•

 

Maximum depth for the OBS-5+ is limited by the installed pressure 
sensor.  If the maximum depths are exceeded, the pressure sensor will 
rupture and the housing will flood.  See Section 6.1, 

Instrument Setup

, for 

more information. 

•

 

Always orient the unit so that the OBS-5+ sensor “looks” into water clear 
of reflective surfaces. 

•

 

Pad the end caps that contact metal with electrical tape, neoprene, or 
expanded polyethylene tubes.  

•

 

Never mount the instrument by its end caps or attach anything to them.  
This could a cause a leak.  

•

 

Always put the OBS-5+ in sleep mode when it will not be used for a while 
to conserve battery capacity (see Section 6.2.13, 

Shutdown

). 

3.  Initial Inspection 

•

 

Upon receipt of the OBS-5+, inspect the packaging and contents for 
damage.  File damage claims with the shipping company.  

•

 

Check this information against the shipping documents to ensure the 
correct product is received (see Section 3.1, 

Ships With

).
