Buoy Communication
Opening the Top Hat
Notes
1.
When the electronics enclosure (top hat) is opened by the user to access the CuBox,
extreme care should be taken to ensure there is no damage to cables or electronics.
Opening the top hat should only be done in a clean and dry environment.
2.
Inside the electronics enclosure is a low voltage disconnect (LVD) module that is
factory set at 22.4V. This setting should not be altered by the user and altering this
cut-off will void warranty on the buoy.
1. Place the buoy on its side.
2. Remove any chain or rope tied in the eye hooks.
3. Unscrew eye bolts holding top hat in place.
