2. Remove the dummy plug and connect the Y-mold cable to the Sentinel V.
3. Connect the I/O cable Serial connector to your computer. See Figure 32 page 82 for wiring.
4. Connect the AC Power Adapter output cable to the Y-mold cable.
5. Connect the AC Power Adapter line cord to a 110 to 240VAC, 50 to 60Hz power input.
6. When power is applied, you should hear a long beep, a 10 to 15 second delay, and then a short
beep. If you do not hear the beeps, check the cable connection and power before continuing.
7. Connect wireless to ReadyV (see
).
8. On the ReadyV Sampling strategy panel, adjust the baud rate and timing as needed (see
).
Using a low baud rate will impact the Ping interval. The time between pings needs to be
sufficient to allow time for the data to be output through the serial port before the next ping.
If you see an error message, increase either the Baud rate or the Ping interval.
9. Install Sentinel V RT Utilities if needed. A copy of RDI Tools is included on the Sentinel V Soft-
ware and Documentation CD.
10. Start Sentinel V RT Utilities. On the Connect To screen, select WorkHorse. Select the COM
Port that the Sentinel V ADCP serial cable is connected to. Click Next.
