0.40 6000 0.60 Prior to changing out a Pressure Module the uvSVX should be thoroughly rinsed in fresh water and dried. A Pressure Module should ideally be changed in dry lab conditions but if this is not possible every effort must be made to keep water out of the module socket. Check the module and socket for any water and if found dry everything thoroughly before fitting. -
Page 8: Calculated Parameters
Inside the transit case an additional transit case is provided for the Pressure module to allow it to be returned to Valeport for calibration without the need to send the whole instrument. 2.4 Calculated Parameters From directly measured sound velocity, temperature and pressure, SWiFT calculates Salinity using a proprietary Valeport algorithm developed from extensive laboratory and field work. -
