Section 3 Maintenance
3.1 Sensor maintenance
WARNING
If the user thinks that a sensor has water in the pressure housing: Put on safety glasses and make
sure that the sensor is pointed away from the body. Use the purge port (if the sensor is so
equipped), or very SLOWLY loosen the bulkhead connector to allow the pressure to escape.
Although the sensor is built for deployment in severe conditions, it is important to clean
the sensor after each deployment and weekly (if deployed frequently) or monthly to
prevent fouling. After every deployment, make sure to:
1. Attach a clean and lubricated dummy plug and a lock collar to the sensor.
2. Rinse the sensor with fresh clean water.
3. Flush the optical area with fresh clean water.
4. Dry the sensor.
Use a soft towel or blow with air.
5. Put the sensor in the manufacturer-supplied case for transport or storage.
3.2 Maintenance for bulkhead connectors and cables
WARNING
If the user thinks that a sensor has water in the pressure housing: Put on safety glasses and make
sure that the sensor is pointed away from the body. Use the purge port (if the sensor is so
equipped), or very SLOWLY loosen the bulkhead connector to allow the pressure to escape.
NOTICE
Connectors that have corrosion can cause a loss of data and increase the costs for service.
• Connectors that have corrosion can cause irreparable damage to the sensor.
• Do not use cleaners that contain petroleum or ketones.
• Do not use the cable to lift the sensor. The cable, cable splices, and bulkhead connectors can
be damaged.
• Attach cleaned and lubricated dummy connectors to the sensor immediately after each
deployment to prevent the bulkhead connector from damage.
• Do not connect or disconnect connectors under water.
Examine, clean, and lubricate bulkhead connectors each time they are connected.
Connectors that are not lubricated cause wear and tear on the rubber that seals the
connector contacts.
1. Clean the connector contacts with isopropyl alcohol. Apply as a spray or with a nylon
brush or lint-free swabs or wipes.
2. Flush the contacts with de-ionized or distilled water. Use a wash bottle with a nozzle
to flush inside the sockets.
3. Shake the socket ends and wipe the pins of the connectors to remove water.
4. Examine the sockets and the rubber on the pins to make sure there are no problems.
a. Use a flashlight and magnifying glass.
b. Look for cracks, frayed scores, and delamination of the rubber on the pins and
inside the sockets.

5. Use a finger to place a small quantity, approximately 1.5 cm in diameter of Dow
Corning® 4 Electrical Insulating Compound on the socket end of the connector.
Table 4 Lubricant on connector sockets
Lubricant on socket end of the connector Lubricant pushed into the sockets of the connector
6. Use a finger to push as much of the lubricant as possible into the sockets.
7. Connect the connectors.
There should be a small quantity of lubricant pushed to the sides of the connectors.
8. Clean the unwanted lubricant from the sides of the connectors.
The connectors are now lubricated and the connection is waterproof.
3.3 Update reference spectrum
The user needs to update the reference spectrum of the SUNA at regular intervals so that
the data that the sensor collects is accurate. It may also be necessary to update the
firmware, although that is not required very frequently.
A calibration file contains the data required to convert a spectral measurement into a
nitrate concentration. The calibration data are the wavelengths of the spectrum, the
extinction coefficients of chemical species and a reference spectrum relative to which the
measurement is interpreted. The sensor can store many calibration files, but only the
active file has a green background. Push Transfer Files > File Manager, then select the
Calibration Files tab to see the list of calibration files stored in the sensor.
Make sure to clean the sensor and the sensor windows at regular intervals and before
and after every deployment. Monitor the spectral intensity of the lamp. Although the
intensity will decrease over time, make sure there are no sudden changes.
