  • Page 13: Turning On The Transponder

    Getting started Turning on the transponder The transponder is designed for operation in water only. The transponder may be operated in air for test purposes over a short period of time. Prerequisites The transponder must be charged before use. Procedure Grease the connector with Molykote 44 Medium or equivalent grease.
  • Page 14: Changing Between Responder And Transponder Mode

    The transponder must be charged before use. By default when the cNODE MiniS 1.11-50V Ti is turned on it is in transponder mode. The signal input for the responder function must be between 2 and 6 ms with a positive pulse of 5 to 24 V.
  • Page 15: Turning On The Ttc

    Getting started Turning on the TTC Use the Transponder Test and Configuration unit to check that the transponder is ready for use. Procedure Open the suitcase. Turn on the main power switch to start the program. This takes approximately 1.5 minutes. Acoustic test Test the transponder acoustics to make sure it is functioning..

    MiniS 1.11-50V Ti Instruction Manual Pre-deployment checks Before deploying the transponder, it is important to do the following checks to make sure the operation goes smoothly. Context It is recommended to test the transponder with the Test and Configuration unit (TTC) to make sure it is working properly before operation.
  • Page 17: Recovering The Transponder

    Getting started Recovering the transponder It is important to perform these recovery checks after every operation. Procedure Wash the unit thoroughly in warm fresh water to dissolve any salt deposits and clean off any sand or silt. As an extra precaution, it is recommended that the unit is left to soak in fresh water to allow salt to dissolve and diffuse from hard-to-reach areas, such as crevices between mating parts.
