Recovering the transponder
Always read the emergency procedures before handling lithium batteries.
Context
Avoid slamming the transponder against solid objects as it is lifted out of the water.
Procedure
1 Send an acoustic command to the transponder to release it from the weight, for
transponders with a release and a floating collar.
2 Grab hold of the rope attached to the floating collar and pull the transponder
towards you.
3 Avoid slamming the transponder against solid objects as it is lifted out of the water.
4 Check the transponder’s temperature
If the transducer is overheated go directly to the emergency procedures.
5 Check the pressure relief valve to see if any chemical reaction has increased the
pressure in the transponder to set it off.
6 Control the transponder for minimum two hours.
Check for damages that could involve a water leakage
and check the housing temperature for a possible
temperature increase in the lithium battery.
For batteries with possible damages, go to the
emergency procedures chapter.
7 Wash the unit thoroughly in warm fresh water to
dissolve any salt deposits and clean off any sand or silt.
8 As an extra precaution, it is recommended that the unit is left to soak in fresh water
to allow salt to dissolve and diffuse from hard-to-reach areas, such as crevices
between mating parts.
Leave the unit to soak for 24 hours, or as long as practical conditions allow.
9 Dry off, so no water can come inside when opening.
10 Turn the transponder off and store the batteries outside the housing if the
transponder is not used for some time.
Battery storage
The batteries may be stored for up to 10 years with little loss of capacity, the losses being
approximately according to these figures:
