Sea-Bird Scientific SBE 19plus V2 SeaCAT Bedienungsanleitung Seite 9

If the user thinks that the NiMH batteries have leaks, pressure may have built up inside of the
pressure housing. Follow ESD protocols to release internal pressure. Put on safety glasses and
protective gloves and make sure that the sensor is pointed away from the body and other people. In
a well ventilated very SLOWLY loosen the bulkhead connector to release the pressure. Keep away
from heat, sparks, flame, and other sources of ignition. Do not smoke.
The pressure housing contains Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) sensitive parts and assemblies that
are susceptible to damage from ESD. Follow ESD protocols:
• Put on protective eye wear before you open the pressure housing.
• Any electrostatic charge on the body of the human operator must be released before the
pressure housing is opened: put a hand on a grounded surface, or better, wear a grounded
antistatic wrist strap.
• At a minimum, wear short-sleeved antistatic clothing, such as cotton, or better, wear an antistatic
smock for this service activity. Do not wear a sweater, fleece or polyester-based clothing.
• At a minimum, use a workstation with a wood or metal tabletop, or better, a tabletop that
dissipates static. Do not use a workstation with a synthetic or polymeric-based tabletop.
It is not necessary to remove the battery pack from the housing to charge the NiMH batteries (steps
5 and 12).
1. Use a clean cloth to dry the outside of the battery end flange. Make sure to remove any water at
the interface between the pressure housing and the end flange.
2. Use a wrench on the white plastic bar to turn the end flange counterclockwise to loosen.
3. Remove any water on all of the O-ring surfaces with a lint-free cloth or tissue.
4. Keep the end flange and make sure to protect the O-ring from contamination or other damage.
5. Remove the battery pack from the housing:
a. Unscrew each of the three cap screws just until they reach the bottom of the protective
plastic plate.The battery pack will come out of the housing approximately 6 mm because of
the spring contacts at the bottom of the battery compartment.
b. Unscrew the cap screws again. The battery pack will come further out of the housing and
should now be disconnected from the battery posts.
c. Pull on the cord to remove the battery pack from the housing.
6. Connect the battery charger to a power source and turn on power to the charger.
7. Connect the charger cable to the battery pack and charger.
The LED shows READY, and the display shows the battery type and voltage.
