2.4 Underwater cables
The Scuba underwater cables have a RS 232 connector (left) and a female Scuba probe connector (right).
Vented underwater cables (VUC), which are used with the optional vented level sensor, have a small tube within the VUC
to connect the sensor to the surface of the water so that changes in barometric pressure do not affect level readings. That
vent tube is connected to a desiccant pack at the top of the VUC to prevent water from condensing inside the vent tube.
Later VUC’s are fixed to the Scuba and cannot be removed.
2.5 Operating the Scuba with Eijkelkamp’s Amphibian 3
(Please see 6.4.1 if you wish to connect to your Amphibian 3 via Bluetooth instead of a
cable.)
1 Power on the Amphibian 3 data display.
2
On the start-up screen, select “ Amp_2_2_X ” to launch the Scuba control software.
3
Connect the Amphibian 3 to your Scuba cable’s 9-pin connector and turn the
Amphibian 3 on.
4 You should see scrolling data from the Scuba's sensors.
The Scuba control software loaded on the Amphibian 3 mirrors the version for the PC with
some concessions for the small screen.
Section 5 has more information about small-screen data displays.
2.6 What do the LED lights mean?
The Scuba has three light-emitting diodes (LED’s), mounted on the circuit board visible through the instrument housing,
to help you understand what’s happening, and to provide information when troubleshooting a failure.
The green light blinks every second when receiving adequate operating voltage via the cable; it does not blink when the
Scuba operates under its own battery power.
The red light blinks five times upon power-up when logging is enabled.
The amber light blinks when the Scuba is receiving RS-232 communications from an external device (such as a PC or
logger).
A sequence of red and amber LED flashes tell you the voltage of your battery pack if you have activated logging. When
you first power-up your Scuba, the red LED will blink five times to indicate that logging is activated and to indicate the
first 3.5 volts of battery power, and then one amber blink for each volt, and one red blink for each half volt.
For instance, five reds, five ambers, and a red means 3.5 + 5 + 0.5 = 9 battery volts.
