9 LISST-200X Introduction & Quick Start
Also on the Connector endcap is a white plastic lever. This
mechanical lever has a strong magnet embedded in the plastic. This
magnet can be used to trigger a digital switch inside the instrument
which can be programmed to start and stop the LISST-200X sampling.
The final item on the endcap is the zinc anode. The sacrificial zinc
anode protects the instrument from corrosion during long periods of
time in salt water.
Step 2: Check
for Clean
Windows At this time, check the optical windows to make sure that they are
clean. There are two windows: The receive window (or large window)
and the transmit window (or small window). Both window need to be
very clean in order to get good measurements.
The best way to check the windows is by using a flashlight. By shining
light from one side and viewing from the other the surface of the
windows can be easily checked for cleanliness.
If there is dirt or fingerprints on the windows clean them first by rinsing
them with lukewarm water and a mild soap solution (e.g. mild hand
soap, liquid dish soap) and then rinsing off all soap residue with clean,
particle free water such as deionized water, distilled water or bottled
drinking water. The windows can also be wiped clean with a soft cloth
(e.g. a lens cloth) or glass cleaner. It is not recommended to use
stronger solvents, such as acetone or toluene. Also, do not use any
abrasive cleaners or wipes. Treat the windows as you would an
expensive camera lens.
Step 3: Attach
Communication
and Power Cable Remove the Communications cable from the plastic accessory case
within the shipping case. It is the 3 meter cable with the USB
connector on one end and the 5-pin underwater connector on the
other. Remove the underwater cap from the Communications
connector. The connectors will all look similar when the protective cap
is installed. The Communication connector is the only 5-pin connector
and is located next to the stainless steel pressure sensor fitting. After
removing the cap install the cable making sure that proper alignment
of the cable is maintained, so that the connector pins are not bent.
Plug the USB cable into the computer. Please note that USB drivers
may automatically install the first time the USB cable is plugged into
