3.2. Deploying the MIDAS ECM
All parts of the standard system (with the exception of the top part of the 3m Y lead) are designed
for immersion. All communications adapters (RS485, RS422, FSK) are splash proof, but should be
sited in a dry place, as close to the PC as possible.
When ordering the MIDAS ECM your preference for operation: Sensors Upward Facing or Sensors
Downward Facing must be specified. This is so the compass module is fitted correctly. It is imper-
ative that the instrument is deployed in the correct orientation.
The housing will be marked accordingly:
The M
IDAS
ECM is supplied with a stainless-steel protective cage, but care should still be taken at
all times not to damage the instrument.
The frame can be used to deploy the M
IDAS
ECM either way up. For Sensors Upward Facing the
ring above the sensor endcap can be used. For deployment with the Sensors Downward Facing
the provided strop should be used and fitted as shown below.
For fixed deployments, the user may wish to remove the cage and use the grooves in the instru-
ment housing as clamping points.
