Align and stack the ML-BATT and MLCPU-1 modules with the foam spacer
against the MLCPU-1 printed circuit board and the connector on the ML-
BATT side. Fasten the modules together with the four side retaining screws.

Field Replacement of Batteries

To access the batteries, remove the four retaining screws holding the bottom
plate
to the OMP-MODL assembly. The battery connector can then be
unplugged and the batteries be replaced by popping them out of the holders
and reinstalling new batteries. Align the batteries with the positive terminal
toward the holder end marked with a red washer
. Reconnect the battery
connector, adjust the position of the foam spacer and fasten the bottom
plate back onto the OMP-MODL assembly with the four side screws.

Note that the batteries can be accessed by removing any level of the 4 side
access screws on the ML-BATT module, however it is typically easiest to
remove the 4 on the metal bottom plate.

Alkaline D-cells are recommended for use in the OMP-
MODL as they contain significantly more energy than
standard or `heavy-duty’ cells and will provide
substantially longer recording capability. Depending on
the Program Net within the OMP-MODL, a fresh set of
alkaline D-cells can power the OMP-MODL for up to 4
weeks of logging.
