Operation | Check |
Release the ballast using the Recovery tab in the OBS Command & Control widget. 900 seconds, as burning time, should be sufficient. | |
Check the Status in the OBS Command & Control widget / Post-Deploy tab to monitor the power going into the Burn-Wire release system. | |
Status can also be used to check the Aquarius depth while ascending to the surface. | |
When on the surface, LED will start working if it’s dark. The satellite tracker will send messages with its position to the first responders set in the web portal. | |
Bring the Aquarius on board. | |
Connect the Seacon Hummer series connector on the Aquarius and the Ethernet and console connectors to the Deck Unit. | |
In the Deck Unit, turn the PoE on. | |
Open the OBS Command & Control widget, Pre-deploy tab, to check the clock offset and take note of it. Note: The offset will be correct only when the PTP stability is close to 100%. The offset is not stored in the SD cards. | |
Download data from the Aquarius through the Storage tab in the LPC web server (see Section 7.2.5). | |
Before storing back the Aquarius for long time, charge batteries at least at 50% and plug the magnetic switch. |
