screen. If the browser does not start automatically, complete steps 2
through 3.
2. Use Windows Explorer® to open the CD drive folder.
3. Double-click on the launch.exe file. Follow the browser to view or copy
the documentation to your computer.

Installing Batteries
To connect the battery pack:
Sentinel battery packs are shipped inside the
system but not connected. Connect the battery
and seal the Sentinel before deployment.
1. Place the Sentinel ADCP with the end-cap
facing up. Use a soft pad or the transducer
cover to protect the ADCP.
2. Using a 4mm hex key, loosen the four M5
captured bolts on the end-cap.
3. Carefully lift the end-cap away from the
housing.
4. Connect the battery cable to the top PC
board two-pin connector.
5. Check there is a battery pack rubber band
around all four wing nuts. This will prevent
the wing nuts from backing off the post.
The WorkHorse Sentinel battery packs are
held in place by four sets of washers, lock washers, and
wing nuts. If the wing nuts are not tight, the assembly
of washers and wing nut can become loose and
eventually fall onto the PIO board. This has caused the
PIO board to short out.
1. Place the end-cap on the housing, aligning
the mating holes and the beam 3 number
embossed on the end-cap with the beam 3
number embossed on the transducer head.
2. Examine the titanium end-cap assembly
nuts, bolts, and washers (6-mm) for corro-
sion; replace if necessary.
3. Tighten the bolts to the recommended
torque value of 5.6 Newton-meters (50
pound-inches).
For high pressure systems, see the WorkHorse Operation Manual, Chapter 4 for instructions
on end-cap replacement.
