Max Voltage: 36v
Min Voltage: 12v
Min Current: 3a
Maintenance
 Baeries
Replace the baeries when dead. A
dead baery will read a voltage of 15v
to 17v under load.
 Desiccant
Desiccant should be replaced every
year.
 O-Rings
O-Rings should only be replaced if
damaged. When sealing the housing
make sure not to pinch or cut an O-
Ring.
ADCP Baeries
Baeries are not inially connected when shipped.
When ready to deploy, connect the baeries by con-
necng the baery connectors to the available power
connectors on the pigtail within the housing.
When reassembling the endcap, ensure the o-ring is
placed properly in the groove. Aer sealing the
endcap to the housing, ensure a proper seal. Slide a
paper against the opening of the endcap and housing
and make sure the paper does not touch the o-ring.

ADCP Baud Rate
Default: 115200 8N1
To change the RS-485 baud rate to
921600, send the command:
C485B 921600
GPS Heading
Due to magnec interference from
the environment, the internal com-
pass may not be useable. A GPS
can be connected directly to the
ADCP through the RS-232 port of
the ADCP’s underwater cable. Then
set the baud rate of the GPS using
the command C232B. Then send
the command CHS 2 to use the GPS
compass.
