Deployment and Recovery
Attaching to a Mooring
The Sediment Trap must remain upright on the mooring to collect falling sediment. The frame
connects to the mooring array with three-legged, 3/16” nylon bridles. Two bridles can be used, one
on the top and one on the bottom of the Sediment Trap. Or, one 3/16” bridle can be used on the top
of the Sediment Trap and users can make their own chain bridles for the bottom of the Sediment
Trap.

Deployment Preparation
After the sample bottles are installed and the rotator is positioned for deployment, deploying the
Sediment Trap requires the following (in order):
1. Connect the battery and close the end cap (see chapter 4 for details about the end
cap and battery installation).
2. Connect the COM cable and confirm firmware deployment settings (see chapter
4 for details about programming the deployment).
3. Disconnect the COM cable and attach the dummy plug.
4. Attach the Sediment Trap to the bridle(s), or chain.
