AF24173
Anti-Foulant Device - PN 801542 and AF24173 Anti-Foulant Device - PN 801347 |
Anti-foulant devices are used with Sea-Bird conductivity
cells intended for moorings or other long-duration applications:
|
Sensor Solutions: | |
Triton X-100 | Octyl Phenol Ethoxylate, for cleaning conductivity cells (see Application Note 2D) and SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensors (see Application Note 64). |
DC-200 |
Oil for pressure port refill.
|
Potassium Chloride and Silver Chloride | Electrolyte solution for SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor. |
pH Buffer Solutions: pH 4, pH 7, pH 10 | For SBE 18 and 27. See Application Note 18-2. |
Desiccant (see Application Note 71): | |
Sorb-It Desiccant | For placement inside electronics housings to absorb moisture. |
Desi-Pak Desiccant | For placement inside electronics housings to absorb moisture. |
Hardware Installation Materials (see Module 17 in Training handouts for examples of use): | |
Super-O-Lube | For lubricating O-rings and mating surfaces. |
Blue Moly | Prevents corrosion and binding of hardware in aluminum and titanium housings |
DC-4 | Use to fill blind end of screw holes in aluminum and plastic housings -- prevents seawater from filling the space and causing hardware and housing corrosion, and prevents growth of salt crystals that can cause stuck hardware |
Loctite 242 | Thread locker, use when replacing a bulkhead connector. |
Batteries: | |
Duracell Alkaline Battery |
Duracell alkaline D cell batteries are the
standard power supply for the SBE 16, 16plus, 16plus-IM, 16plus V2, 16plus-IM V2,
19, 19plus,
19plus V2,
25, 26,
26plus,
53,
54,
55, and
AFM. Alkaline D cells
can also be used in the 17plus
V2 (NiMH battery pack is standard). A Duracell alkaline 9V battery is an optional power supply for the SBE 39 (Ultralife Lithium Battery is standard). |
Panasonic
Lithium Battery BR-2/3A ** |
BR-2/3A is used as back-up in instruments that have a lithium
battery to back-up buffer and real-time clock in event of main battery
failure or exhaustion:
Until July 2008, Sea-Bird custom-built a battery pack comprised of six parallel 9-volt batteries; each 9-volt battery contained three BR-2/3A. This battery pack was used with MicroCATs (SBE 37-IM, 37-IMP, 37-SM, and 37-SMP) and SBE 44. See MicroCAT or SBE 44 manual for shipping precautions for battery pack. SBE 43 uses two BR-2/3A to maintain continuous polarization. |
Panasonic Lithium Battery CR ** | On SBE 43 PCB. |
Ultralife Lithium Battery 9 Volt ** | Power supply for SBE 39 (all serial numbers) and 39-IM (serial numbers 3089 through 3100). |
Saft AA Lithium Battery 3.6 Volt ** |
Two of these batteries are used for power supply for
39-IM
(serial numbers greater than 3100). See SBE 39-IM manual for shipping
precautions for batteries. As of July 2008, twelve of these batteries are used for power supply for MicroCATs (SBE 37-IM, 37-IMP, 37-SM, and 37-SMP) and SBE 44. See MicroCAT or SBE 44 manual for shipping precautions for battery pack. Details on battery pack are also provided in Application Note 89. |
Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cad) Battery | Ni-Cad battery pack is optional equipment for SBE 19, 19plus, 19plus V2, and 25. |
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Battery ** | NiMH battery pack is standard equipment for SBE 17plus V2; optional equipment for SBE 19, 19plus, 19plus V2, and 25. |
