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.

ings when mounting the H-ADCP to a metal structure. Keep this in mind when fabricat-
ing 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
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).
