Page 10: General Acoustic Considerations
cNODE Modem MiniS LF Instruction Manual General acoustic considerations Take this information into consideration when deploying the modems. Acoustic range The term depth rating should not be confused with the term acoustic range. The acoustic range is dependent on many factors, and some of the factors are outside the control of the user. - Page 11 General acoustic considerations Sound velocity and ray bending Variations in water temperature affects the velocity of sound through the water column, and variations in the ocean’s salinity level can bend the acoustic signal making it impossible for the signal to reach the vessel. 110-0000612/A...

Page 29: Replacing The Connector
Maintenance Procedure Demate the connector set. Flush connector interface with fresh water (deionized water if available), remove all dirt, grit and grease. Inspect for damage in sealing areas, excessive corrosion, debonding of the cable and connector interface and cuts in the cable jacket. Apply thin film of dilectric compound (DC) grease, silicon based, to sealing areas of male connector and across the face of the female connector. - Page 30 cNODE Modem MiniS LF Instruction Manual Cut the Molex plug. Use a wrench to remove the connector. Use a wrench with a slim 20 mm socket. The outer diameter of the socket should be 24 mm or less to avoid damaging the transponder housing. Clean the threads in the transponder housing.
