Battery Unit/Cable
•
Make sure the battery and cable are placed out of the way of Dive
Operations and in an area that is as dry as possible.
Topside Modem
Deployment
•
Attach the cable to the Topside Modem. NOTE: The shoulders of the male
pins on the cable plug should appear greasy. Please lightly grease the rubber
shoulders of the pins with silicone grease. A tube of Dow Corning #4 is
provided in the Tools & Spares Kit for this purpose. Please lube the
shoulders with the cable detached from the Topside Battery Unit.
•
Based upon the Dive Operations area select a location to deploy the Topside
Modem (see notes above for guidance on placement).
•
With the cable and mount secure, deploy the Topside Modem in the water
in such a way as the Topside Modem has a clear line of sight with the diver’s
operation area. It is recommended that a safety line (rope, stainless steel
cable) be connected to the Topside Modem in the event the modem would
get disconnected from its fixed mount.
