G - MAINTENANCE
Preventative Maintenance
The OCR-504 requires virtually no maintenance. Ensure the instrument is not
impacted and that any seawater is rinsed off after use. The dummy plugs and
vinyl end cap should be replaced before storage.
Troubleshooting with a Terminal Emulator
If you are experiencing problems receiving data with your data acquisition
software, there may be a problem with the instrument, its configuration, or its
physical setup. You can check to see if your OCR-504 is transmitting telemetry
with a terminal emulator.
To do this, first complete the
Assembly Procedure
described in section
C -
START UP
. Connect the instrument to a computer running a terminal emulation
program. See section
E - CONFIGURATION
for more information on setting up
a terminal emulator. For this test, you may use either the RS-232 interface
directly, or the RS-422 interface through an appropriate level converter. You
can therefore use the same physical configuration you would use in the field.
However, if at a later point you need to gain access to the instrument’s
command console, you will need to use the RS-232 interface directly.
Once the instrument is powered up and is in normal operation with free-running
telemetry, you should see what looks like random characters being periodically
output to the display. This is normal. The instrument telemetry may contain a
lot of binary data, which is not normally processed by a dumb terminal.
However, you should be able to periodically pick o
ut the instrument’s frame
header or synchronization string. This series of characters appears at the
beginning of every frame of telemetry, as defined in your instrument’s
calibration file. If you do not see the frame header, but you do see random
characters, check that the baud rate of the terminal emulator is the same as for
the instrument. If you so not see anything at all, make sure that no other
application is using the serial port of the computer. If this checks out, there may
be a hardware problem.
Troubleshooting for Hardware Problems
If a telemetry check using a terminal emulator failed to show any telemetry, you
should check the physical connections of your instrument and supporting
equipment.
WARNING! While checking voltages, extreme care should be used so as
not to short the probe leads. A shorted power supply or battery can output
many amperes of current, potentially harming the user, starting fires, or
damaging equipment.

ONNECTIONS
The cable connections of the system should be checked for continuity and
correctness. Make sure that all Subconn
