We strongly recommend this is carried out by someone with experience servicing underwater 

housings: 

1. Unscrew gold coloured plug from recorder base using a 3/16 allen key. 

2. Ensure sealing surface is perfectly clean. 

3. Ensure PRV has good clean o’rings installed.

 

4. Screw PRV into recorder base using a small crescent wrench being careful not to over tighten.

Software updates  

New software releases will be made available via the Ocean Instruments website. You may which to 

subscribe to our email list in order to receive notification of these updates. The update procedure is 

generally straightforward 

 simply install the new software over top of the existing, by running the 

msi file and following the usual Windows software install prompts.  

The software updates will typically include updates to both the windows software as well as the 

device firmware. The updating of the device firmware is an automatic process that occurs when 

pressing the ‘deploy’ button.

MSP firmware updates 

From time to time a software release may include an update to the ‘MSP’ firmware. This is a special 

section of the device firmware that changes infrequently. In the rare event that an MSP update is 

required, the user will be advised during the deploy procedure and will be asked to hold the 

‘reset 

switch

’. This is a security feature that ensure

s the MSP 

firmware cannot be unintentionally modified. The reset 

switch is somewhat hidden - it is located adjacent #3 

memory card slot and is activated by inserting a pin through 

a small hole in the electronics cover.  

When asked to ‘

press 

reset’ you 

must hold down the reset 

switch. Once the switch is held down you can click the OK 

button (may require second person!) as per the software 

instructions. You will then be asked to release the reset switch. This done, the MSP firmware update
