Carefully inspect the O-rings, as described in the Inspecting the O-rings section, before deploying the logger. Do not use excessive force when tightening the end cap; hand-tight is quite sufficient, as the seal depends upon the O-rings, not the end cap tightness. RBR#0008818revA – 11... -
Page 12: Changing The Batteries
6.2 Changing the batteries Permalink:https://docs.rbr-global.com/display/RSKDOC/Changing+the+batteries Loggers are powered by eight AA size cells. These can be almost any chemistry with only a few restrictions depending on the sensors ordered. Check your logger's compatibility in Ruskin to see if your instrument has a restriction. ... -

To stop the logger, open the battery end cap one quarter turn. When the logger is stopped it will vibrate for three short pulses to provide positive feedback. RBR#0008818revA – 13... -
Page 14: Wi-Fi Feature
If you have enabled the Wi-Fi feature on your logger and a mobile device, you can connect and view data from the logger on the mobile device. Your logger will be shipped from the factory with the Wi-Fi on and set to record data in the RBR#0008818revA – 14... -

6.6.2 O-rings The single most important item of maintenance on any RBR submersible data logger is the care of the O-rings. Any kind of water leak can damage the circuitry beyond repair and cause complete data loss. Every logger's seal depends upon its O-rings, not the end cap tightness. -

6.6.3 O-rings - RBRquartz BPR|zero The single most important item of maintenance on any RBR submersible data logger is the care of the O-rings. Any kind of water leak can damage the circuitry beyond repair and cause complete data loss. Every logger's seal depends upon its O-rings, not the end cap tightness. -
Page 17: Inspecting O-Rings
If the O-ring is scratched, cut, distorted, perished or defective in any other way it must be replaced. If any of the surfaces of the O-ring groove are scratched, pitted or otherwise damaged, the logger may need to be returned to RBR for refurbishment: please contact us for advice. -
Page 18: Corrective Maintenance
Most experienced users of oceanographic equipment replace all O-rings before every deployment as a matter of routine. The cost of an O-ring is negligible compared with the cost of the instrument and its deployment. Therefore, routine replacement of O-rings is cheap insurance. O-rings: #2-225 N70 O-ring (RBR#0002408), #8-225 N90 backup ring (RBR#0009115) 6.6.4 Corrective maintenance Overview: The Paroscientific Digiquartz® sensor is filled with a buffer, which is connected to the environment via a tube. - Page 19 The buffer tube interface assembly drawing (Figure 2) shows that there are several features in the buffer tube assembly where the needle can get stuck, moving the needle side to side will allow you to clear these features and fully insert the needle.
