Connecting the External Battery Case
Sentinel V ADCPs can be purchased with the optional end-cap connector and an external battery case.
The dummy plugs should be installed any time the external battery case cable is removed.
Use the dummy plugs when the Sentinel V ADCP is in storage or is being handled.
To connect the external battery case
:
1. Verify that both battery packs are connected (see
Replacing the External Battery Case Packs
).
2. Remove the dummy plugs on the Sentinel V and external battery case (see
).
3. Connect the external battery case cable.
Figure 35.
Connecting the External Battery Case
To avoid affecting the compass, place the external battery case at least 30cm (11.8 inches)
away from the Sentinel V ADCP.
The External Battery Case holds two battery packs that are shipped inside the case but not
connected. Connect BOTH batteries and seal the external battery case before deployment.
It
is necessary to remove the top battery in order to connect the bottom battery cable.
