2. Preparation
Workspace
A robust workspace/bench is required and should be clean and free from debris. All testing and calibration equipment such as pressure chambers
and multimeters should be checked and calibrated annually by recognised or approved sources.
Tools required
In order to check and fully test a BathyCorrometer®Pro’, the following service and calibration tools are required:

3. Disassembly
Locking Ring Removal
Ensure the area around the locking ring and lens are clean and free from any grit or other debris.
Attention should be given to ensuring the exposed threads are clean as any debris could
damage the threads; making it impossible to achieve a watertight seal during reassembly.
Place the BathyCorrometer®on a firm surface and locate the locking ring removal tool’s three
locating pins in to the holes on the locking ring.
Using a suitable spanner or wrench and socket, unscrew and remove the locking ring by turning
it counter-clockwise. Some assistance to hold the BathyCorrometer®is advised whilst the locking
ring is removed as considerable force may be required.
NOTE: If any of the watertight seals are disturbed, successful pressure testing to 600psi is required before the BathyCorrometer ®Pro’ can be used to take CP readings.
Do not open the BathyCorrometer ®Pro’ unless adequate facilities to pressure test the unit are available.

3. Disassembly
Lens Removal
Once the locking ring has been removed as described above, the lens can be removed
with the aid of a small suction-puller cup. Place the BathyCorrometer®on a firm surface
and locate the locking ring removal tool’s three locating pins in to the holes on the
locking ring.
Carefully retrieve the lens locating pins (part no. 3009-0010) and remove the large O-ring
(lens seal) from the BathyCorrometer®.

3. Disassembly
Removing the BCM MkV Electronics
Remove the two retaining screws at the top and bottom of the electronics assembly and withdraw the
electronics assembly from the BathyCorrometer®to gain sufficient access to disconnect the plug connection
on the rear of the assembly. Withdraw the complete electronics unit from the BathyCorrometer®.
Remove the silica gel pouch.

Preparing the new electronics
Using wire strippers, strip 3mm insulation from each of the 6 wire tails and attach the new, smaller crimp
terminals (part no. 2002-0032) to each wire with a crimp tool.
Carefully insert the 6 terminals/wires into the rear of the new 6-way multi-plug (part no. 1012-0032),
ensuring they lock into place and that the wires are inserted into the multi-plug in the correct order.
See the illustration for the correct multi-plug wiring order.
IMPORTANT: incorrect wiring of the 6-way multiplug is likely to
cause irreparable damage to the BathyCorrometer Pro’s
electronics assembly. Electronics connection plug

Electronics installation
•Position the wiring harness so that it exits the BathyCorrometer®’s body adjacent to the lower screw fixing point of the
electronics assembly.
•Insert the new silica gel sachet.
•Insert the battery pack sideways, keeping the battery wiring adjacent to the underwater bulkhead wiring harness.
•Connect both the 6-way white multi-plug and the battery’s 2-way multi-plug to the electronics assembly, ensuring the multi-plugs
are positioned correctly.
•Offer the electronics assembly into place taking care not to trap or pinch the wiring.
•Position the electronics assembly so the top and bottom holes align with the fixing points in the body of the BathyCorrometer®.
•Insert and tighten the two self-tapping screws (part no. 2003-0174) until the electronics assembly is secured. Do not overtighten the
screws as this may damage the printed circuit board.
•Before proceeding futher, insert the shorting plug into the base of the handle and ensure the display switches ON and shows a
reading of ‘.000’.
•The BathyCorrometer®Pro’ Retro-Fit Kit is supplied pre-calibrated, so there should be no need to make any adjustments.
•Ensure the protective film is removed from the LCD display.
IMPORTANT: Before installing electronics, take a note of the new electronics’ serial number for certification purposes.

Lens and locking ring replacement
•Ensure all surfaces are as clean as possible before replacing the lens and locking ring.
•Lightly grease a new O-ring (part no. 2011- 0006) and position it into the groove in the BathyCorrometer®’s body.
•Insert the two lens locating pins into the holes within the BathyCorrometer®’s body.
•Position the lens’ holes over the pins and push the lens until it is fully seated against the O-ring.
•Screw in the locking ring, taking care not to cross the threads and tighten fully to 2m/kg (19.6nm) using the locking ring tool and a
calibrated torque wrench with an appropriate socket.
Pressure test
•Pressure test at 600psi for 15 minutes.
•After pressure testing, thoroughly dry the outside of the BathyCorrometer®and look for evidence of water ingress via the lens seal.
•Any evidence of water behind the lens must be rectified and any damaged components replaced before proceeding further.
NOTE: We would strongly advise to undertake a full calibration of the BathyCorrometer at this stage to ensure the half-cell is in
serviceable condition and that all watertight seals are effective.
Refer to the BathyCorrometer Pro’ Service, Diagnostics and Repair Manual for full details.

Verification test
Place the BathyCorrometer ®in to a solution of 3% salinity de-ionised water at 25°C, keeping the bulkhead socket above the waterline and dry.
Connect a digital Voltmeter to the socket and take readings using 3 laboratory K-series reference cells
The new electronics should give a negative reading of 42mV (+/-5mV) and a zinc block test should give a negative reading of 1.040 (+/-40mV).
Battery charger and CalChecker Pro’
Upon completion of the installation, the original battery charger and BCM Checker
must be replaced with the BathyCorrometer®Pro’ Charger and the CalChecker Pro’.
Replacement parts
For details of all replacement parts available, please refer to the BathyCorrometer®Pro’ Parts List within the
BathyCorrometer Pro’ Service, Diagnostics and Repair Manual.
More information
For more information regarding any of the procedures described in this manual, please refer to the
BathyCorrometer Pro’ Service, Diagnostics and Repair Manual.
IMPORTANT: Using the old charger or BCM Checker can damage the new electronics.
