Computer Considerations

TRDI designed the H-ADCP to use a Windows® compatible computer. The computer controls the H-ADCP and displays its data, usually through our SurfaceView program.

TRDI highly recommends downloading and installing all of the critical updates, recommended updates, and the service releases for the version of Windows® that you are using prior to

Minimum computer hardware requirements:

• Windows XP®, Windows 7®, Windows 8®

• One Serial Port (two or more High Speed UART Serial Port recommended)

• Minimum display resolution of 1024 x 768, 256 color (higher recommended)

The computer configuration varies depending of the number of communication ports and the external data refresh rate. Serial communications require a lot of processor resources, and the minimum requirements can vary. A good quality video card is required to operate SurfaceView and WavesMon simultaneously. We do not use graphic card 3D functions; however, video memory is needed to display all graphics.

installing any TRDI software.

SurfaceView runs on Windows XP® only; it will not operate on Windows 7® or 8®.

However, with experience we can recommend that:

• If you are using more than two communication ports, you should not use a Celeron processor.

• Intel Pentium III or higher processors work best to operate the H-ADCP and give access to the

display and keyboard without losing ensembles.

WorkHorse H-ADCP Operation Manual May 2015

Power Overview

H-ADCP requires +20 to 50 VDC to operate. The AC Adapter runs on any standard AC power and supplies +48 VDC to run the H-ADCP.

Transmitted power increases or decreases depending on the input voltage (within the voltage range of 20 to 50 VDC).

The transmitted power is decreased approximately 1 DB if the input voltage drops from 42 VDC to 33 VDC. For a 300 kHz H-ADCP, each DB will result in a decrease in range of one default depth

Power on Cycle

The power supply must be able to handle the inrush current as well. Inrush current is the current required to fully charge up the capacitors when power is applied to the H-ADCP. The capacitors provide a store of

energy for use during transmit. The inrush current is as high as 3 Amps rms. The H-ADCP will draw this amperage until its capacitors are fully charged.

If the power supply limits the current or the power drop on the cable is significant, then the power on cycle will take longer. It can take up to one minute. You do not want the power to shut down during the

inrush current draw, as this may not allow the H-ADCP electronics to start.

AC Power Adapter

cell.

The AC power adapter is designed to maintain a 400-ma supply under the H-ADCP’s inrush current. The adapters are 75-Watt supplies, with 48 VDC, 1.5 amp outputs. They will not fall back to 0 amps, 0 volts under a load. Customer provided power supplies might shut themselves down under such a load; when that occurs, the H-ADCP will not wakeup.

Setting up the H-ADCP System

Use this section to connect the H-ADCP to a computer and establish communications. Install the RDI Tools software in order to communicate with the H-ADCP.

To set up the H-ADCP:

1. Connect the I/O cable to the H-ADCP. Do so by pushing straight in against the connector. Roll the retaining strap over the connector.

Place a light amount of dry silicone lubricant spray on the connector pins (rubber portion only). This will make it easier to connect or remove the I/O cable and dummy plug. See I/O Cable and

Dummy Plug for details.

2. Attach the I/O cable to your computer's communication port. The standard communications settings are RS-232, 9600-baud, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.

If the computer uses RS-422 communications, connect the RS-232 to RS-422 adapter.

3. Connect the AC power adapter to the I/O cable.

WorkHorse H-ADCP Operation Manual May 2015

Caring for the H-ADCP System

This section contains a list of items you should be aware of every time you handle, use, or deploy your H-ADCP. Please refer to this list often.

General Handling Guidelines

• Never set the transducer on a hard or rough surface. The urethane faces may be damaged.

• Always remove the retaining strap on the underwater-connect cable and dummy plug when dis-

connecting them. Failure to do so will break the retainer strap.

• Do not apply any upward force on the end-cap connector as the I/O cable is being disconnected.

Stressing the connector may cause the H-ADCP to flood. Read the Installation section details on disconnecting the I/O cable.

• Do not expose the transducer faces to prolonged sunlight. The urethane f ac es may develop

cracks. Cover the transducer faces on the H-ADCP if it will be exposed to sunlight.

• Do not expose the I/O connector to prolonged sunlight. The plastic may become brittle. Cov-

er the connector on the H-ADCP if it will be exposed to sunlight.

• Do not store the H-ADCP in temperatures over 60 degrees C. The urethane faces may be

damaged.

for

• Vent the system before opening by loosening the hardware on the housing. If the H-ADCP

flooded, there may be gas under pressure inside the housing.

• Do not scratch or damage the O-ring surfaces or grooves. If scratches or damage exists, they

may provide a leakage path and cause the H-ADCP to flood. Do not risk a deployment

with damaged O-ring surfaces.

• Do not lift or support an H-ADCP by the external I/O cable. The connector or cable will

break.

• The 300 kHz NB H-ADCP should only be lifted by holding onto the transducer mounting plate.

Do not lift by holding onto the housing, end-cap, or beams. The system weight can cause se-

rious damage to the H-ADCP or personnel lifting the unit. Use the

Drawings to locate the transducer mounting plate.

Outline Installation

Assembly Guidelines

• Read the Maintenance section for details on H-ADCP re-assembly. Make sure the housing assem-

bly O-ring stays in the groove when you re-assemble the H-ADCP. Tighten the hardware as specified. Loose, missing, stripped hardware, or a damaged O-ring can cause the H-ADCP transducer to flood.

• Use light amounts of silicone lubricant (such as 3M

4678-4930-3) on both the male pins and female socket to help seat the cable connectors. Wipe off excessive silicone spray from the metal portions of the pins. Regular lubrication is required:

Apply dry type silicone lubricant prior to each connection.

Silicone Lubricant (Dry Type) ID No: 62-

• Do not connect or disconnect the I/O cable with power applied. When you connect the cable with

power applied, you may see a small spark. The connector pins may become pitted and worn.

• The H-ADCP I/O cable may be connected while slightly wet; do not connect under water.

EAR-Controlled Technology Subject to Restrictions Contained on the Cover Page.

Page 13

May 2015 WorkHorse H-ADCP Operation Manual

Deployment Guidelines

• Read the Software User’s Guides. These guides have tutorials to help you learn how to

collect data with the H-ADCP.

• Align the compass whenever any ferrous metals are relocated inside or around the H-ADCP hous-

ing. Ferro-magnetic materials affect the compass.

• The AC power adapter is not designed to withstand water. Use caution when using on decks

in wet conditions.

• Avoid using ferro-magnetic materials in the mounting fixtures or near the H-ADCP. Ferro-

magnetic materials affect the compass.

• Your H-ADCP transducer housing and mounting plate is made of aluminum. Do not connect oth-

er metal to the H-ADCP. Other metals may cause corrosion damage. Use isolating bush-

ings when mounting the H-ADCP to a metal structure. Keep this in mind when fabricating a fixture, which materials to use, or deciding how to place it at the installation site.

• Sacrificial anodes are fitted to the H-ADCP to prevent corrosion (see

Zinc Anode Inspection and

Replacement). Standard anode protection will typically protect the parts that may corrode. How-

ever, you should plan regular inspections of the mounting hardware for signs of cor- rosion. TRDI disposes many corroded hardware sets during inspections.

• Inspect the paint on the end-cap, housing, and transducer assemblies for corrosion, scratches,

cracks, abrasions, paint blisters, exposed metal (silver-colored aluminum), exposed anodize (black or dark green), and exposed primer (yellow). Be critical in your judgment; the useful

life of the H-ADCP depends on it. See Protective Coating Inspection and Repair

for details.

May 2015 WorkHorse H-ADCP Operation Manual

I/O Cable and Dummy Plug

The underwater connector (on the housing) and the I/O cable and dummy plug are molded wet-mate connectors.

The dummy plug should be installed any time the cable is removed. Use the dummy plug when the H-ADCP is in storage or is being handled.

When disconnecting or connecting the H-ADCP I/O cable, do not apply any upward force on the connector. Applying an upward angle as the cable is disconnected or connected puts stress on the connector. This may cause several serious problems:

a) The connector or connector pins can crack.

Disconnecting the Cable

To disconnect the cable:

1. Release the retaining strap by pulling it over the connector.

b) The O-ring on the bottom of the connector can be damaged.

c) The molded urethane on the connector may separate from the brass insert.

If the connector is damaged in any of these ways, your H-ADCP will flood.

2. Grasp the cable close to the housing (see Figure 5). Your thumb should rest against the edge of the housing. Do not try to fit your hand under the cable as it passes over the housing. This is what causes the upward force!

3. Pull the cable straight out away from the housing. Avoid side-to-side rocking motions as much as possible. Do not apply any upward force on the connector as it is being disconnected.

Figure 5. Removing the I/O Cable

Page 16

EAR-Controlled Technology Subject to Restrictions Contained on the Cover Page.

WorkHorse H-ADCP Operation Manual May 2015

Connecting the Cable

To connect the cable:

1. Check all pins for signs of corrosion (greenish oxidation, black deposits, or pitting).

2. Use light amounts of silicone lubricant (such as 3M

Silicone Lubricant (Dry Type) ID No: 62-

4678-4930-3) on both the male pins and female socket to help seat the cable connectors. Wipe off excessive silicone spray from the metal portions of the pins. Regular lubrication is required: Apply dry type silicone lubricant prior to each connection.

When the cable is connected without any lubricant, excessive force is needed to fully seat or remove the connector. This can cause several serious problems:

• The neoprene rubber portion of the contact pin may tear from the metal pin.

• Wiggling the cable side-to-side to overcome the friction as it is connected or

disconnected may cause the neoprene rubber to tear or create pin-holes on the side of the connector.

As a result of any damage to the neoprene rubber, corrosion may occur on current carrying pins.

3. Gently push the cable straight in toward the connector. Do not apply any upward force on the connector as it is being connected.

4. Roll the retaining strap over the connector.

Routing Cables

Use care when routing the cable through bulkheads, deck plates, cable runs, and watertight spaces. Make allowances in cable length and engineering design plans for cable routing. When necessary, use strain reliefs on the cables.

Route this cable so:

• It does not have kinks or sharp bends.

• Protect the cables with hose if zip-ties are used to secure them to structures (see Figure 6).
