2. Visually inspect each sensor connector and monitor connector
port for damaged or broken pins. Replace a monitor or sensor
with defective ports or connectors.
3. Visually inspect each sensor and monitor connector port for
debris and moisture. Clean off any debris, and dry any surface
moisture. Compressed air is useful for removing moisture from
the inside of the connectors or ports (pin and socket surfaces).
4. Verify that the waterproof seal is present inside each connector
port. The bright orange, rubber seal should sit at the bottom of
the connector port with the pins protruding through the seal.
5. Connect each sensor cable to the appropriate port. Tighten each
connector in a clockwise direction until it clicks, and verify that
it is seated correctly. While the Doppler velocity sensor and
pressure depth sensor have identical pin configurations, they
are not interchangeable when connecting to the monitor.
Therefore, be careful to connect the sensors to their assigned
ports on the monitor. The monitor will not operate properly if
these sensors are interchanged.
6. For locations exhibiting the presence of hydrogen sulfide
and/or high moisture, provide added protection by wrapping
the connection with rubber stretch tape.
7. Seal any unused connectors with a cap. If necessary, obtain
additional caps from the regional ADS representative.
Note: An air valve is present in the center of the monitor
top. This valve exists only for testing purposes during the
manufacturing process. Please do not attempt to fill the
monitor with air or pressurize the monitor!
