Installation of the Brizo-X
Mounting the device
The Brizo-X is housed in a waterproof enclosure. As a consequence, all components of operation
except for input power are fully integrated.
For the performance of the sensor it is important for the GNSS antenna to have a clear view of
the sky. The GNSS antenna is placed under the risen circle on top of the enclosure.
It is recommended to install the Brizo-X flat, at the highest point on a buoy, or closest to the top
with reasonable space to mount.
Due to the nature of GNSS wave height measurements, the Brizo does not have to be at the
center of gravity of the buoy, but it is favorable to have it as close the center z-axis as possible.
Some reasonable offset (up to 18 inches) away from the center z-axis is acceptable.
Depending on the application, varying mounting methods can be explored. The Brizo-X’s
enclosure has features that lend themselves to mounting to a baseplate, or pole-mounting.
It is crucial to mount the Brizo-X before connecting power to avoid damage to the Brizo-X or its
cabling.
Confirming Device Operation
Confirm Power to the Unit
Plugging the power connector into the unit, the LEDs on top of the unit will flash. These can be
difficult to see in daylight conditions currently. If the Serial 1 port is accessed by a device capable
of reading its output, diagnostics will also immediately be visible.
Confirming Iridium Operation
A startup message will be sent upon power-up of the device to confirm power to the unit and
Iridium satellite connection. This message will not include any wave statistics or Status of Health
data.
