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.
Page 29
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.
May 2015 WorkHorse H-ADCP Operation Manual 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 re- liefs on the cables.
WorkHorse H-ADCP Operation Manual May 2015 Cable Wiring Diagrams This section has information on H-ADCP cabling. Special user-requests may cause changes to the basic wiring system and may not be shown here. If you feel there is a conflict, contact TRDI for specific infor- mation about your system.
May 2015 WorkHorse H-ADCP Operation Manual Installation The H-ADCP must be rigidly mounted to a structure, such as a large vessel, solid wall, pier, or pile. The mounting structure must be firm, stable, without settlement or displacement over time. In order to gain the maximum profiling range at a site, TRDI recommends the H-ADCP be mounted near the middle of the water depth at the mounting structure location.
WorkHorse H-ADCP Operation Manual May 2015 Cathodic Disbondment and Galvanic Corrosion Cathodic disbondment is the loss of adhesion between a cathodic coating and its metal substrate due to the corrosion reaction that take place in the interface of coatings. Disbondment of coating occurs when coatings in a cathodic protection system interact either chemically or physically, ultimately causing corro- sion beneath the coat.
May 2015 WorkHorse H-ADCP Operation Manual H-ADCP Orientation The H-ADCP must be mounted with its transducer orientation in the horizontal direction. That is, the three transducers, which are for water velocity measurement, must be looking horizontally (also called side-looking). The pressure sensor, which is for water depth measurement, must be looking up towards the water surface.
WorkHorse H-ADCP Operation Manual May 2015 Attaching the H-ADCP to a Structure Attach the H-ADCP to a rigid structure, solid wall, pier, or pile. The mounting structure must be firm, sta- ble, without settlement or displacement over time. Double-check all of the connections, seals, and bolts. Connect the I/O cable and make sure that the strain relief is attached to the cable.
May 2015 WorkHorse H-ADCP Operation Manual Figure 13. 300 kHz NB H-ADCP Mounting Holes The two M12 tapped holes on the top edge of the mounting plate are used to help handle the system during production of the H-ADCP. Do not use these holes to mount the H-ADCP or connect any other metal structures to the H-ADCP.
WorkHorse H-ADCP Operation Manual May 2015 H-ADCP Wave System Installation Checklist Waves is a feature upgrade for 300 kHz NB H-ADCPs (see Feature Upgrades).

May 2015 WorkHorse H-ADCP Operation Manual A brief review of H-ADCP operation may help you understand the specifications listed in this section. The specifications and dimensions listed in this section are subject to change without notice. The H-ADCP emits an acoustic pulse called a PING. Scatterers that float ambiently with the water cur- rents reflect some of the energy from the ping back to the H-ADCP.

The H-ADCP measures X and Y velocities on the Horizontal instead of X, Y, and Z on the Vertical. The third beam on the H-ADCP provides the error velocity and acts in the same way as the fourth beam on a vertical system.
WorkHorse H-ADCP Operation Manual May 2015 FIELD #1 = 50, FIELD #2 = 5, FIELD #3 = 45, FIELD #4 = 0 FIELD 1 - Percentage of Partial Solutions - Shows percentage of successful velocity calculations (50%) re- sulting in Partial Solutions. A Partial Solution is a solution that does not result in an error velocity. This occurs because there is not enough information to compute the error velocity.
