To set up the Sentinel V Real-Time ADCP:
1. Connect the I/O cable to the Sentinel V Real-Time ADCP.
2. Attach the I/O cable to the computer’s communication port.
3. Connect the AC Power Adapter to the power connector or use the banana plugs from cable 73D-
6021-00 to power the unit with a different power supply (voltage not to exceed 20V). Note that
both cables indicate a max voltage of 18V. In this case, you can use the cables at 20V.

Your computer and the Sentinel V Real-Time ADCP must both be set to the same
communication setting. Use the RS-232-to-RS-422 converter if the ADCP is configured for RS-
422 communications and your computer only has a RS-232 COM port.
