The SeapHOx is intended for moored applications to 50 m depth. The SeapHOx integration approach was originally developed by Dr. Todd Martz of Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
2. If necessary, configure the MicroCAT for compatibility with the SeaFET. Note: When delivered as part of a SeapHOx, the MicroCAT is configured at the factory for integration with the SeaFET. If you replace the MicroCAT in the field, see Instrument Configuration at the end of this document for the required MicroCAT settings, and see the MicroCAT manual for instructions on using Seaterm V2 to program the MicroCAT.
Deployment Orientation in the MicroCAT manual. Recovering SeapHOx 1. If the SeapHOx is not going to be used in the short term, de-activate the SeaFET battery pack to preserve their charge. 2. Remove the SeaFET flow cell, uninstall the fittings, and reinstall the hex plug that is closest to the MicroCAT (the one shown on the right in Figure 2).
Instrument Configuration (reference) As part of the SeapHOx integration, both the SeaFET and MicroCAT were configured and tested at the factory to ensure proper operation together. The SeaFET and MicroCAT settings are provided below for reference only (customers should not changes these settings).
When should the SeaFET ‘Power CTD’ option be enabled? Enabling this option could reduce substantially the SeapHOx deployment duration. It should only be enabled when the projected battery life of the MicroCAT is not sufficient for the deployment. When it is enabled, the SeaFET must be powered from an external power supply in addition to having its internal batteries installed.
