    4.2. SINGLE BUTTON MENU INTERFACE Refer to the figure on the following page. At any point while the 6001SD is displaying reading(s) the control button can be pressed to enter the menu interface. From the menus the user can view and change several parameters which are discussed in this section.

  • Page 10: Exit

    4.2.1. EXIT Every page of the menu system starts with EXIT. If EXIT is selected then the 6001SD will exit to the previous menu screen and eventually resume taking and displaying readings from all enabled sensors. The menu system is designed so that if the control button is not pressed then the 6001SD will always exit back through the menu system and resume taking readings as normal.

  • Page 11: Set Log Interval

    Selecting this item allows the user to change the LOG INTERVAL. The LOG INTERVAL can be set to every 1 second, 30 seconds or 1, 2, 5 minutes. At each log interval the 6001SD will log the Date (DD/MM/YY), Time (HH:MM) along with data from enabled sensors. Pressure 1, Pressure 2, Temperature 1, and Temperature 2.

  • Page 12: Mem Over Enabled / Disabled

    The alarm function is an optional feature as it requires a suitable cable to be connected to the 6001sd. Selecting this item allows the user to configure the alarm interface of the 6001SD. The alarm can be configured in either of two modes: DIFFERENTIAL (a single threshold value is compared against the unsigned difference between P1 and P2) or INDEPENDENT (an alarm threshold for P1 is compared against P1 and a second threshold for P2 is compared against P2).

  • Page 13: Sensor Addresses

    4.2.14. SENSOR ADDRESSES As standard the 6001SD is configured for two digital pressure and temperature sensors with addresses 1 & 2. These addresses must be programmed into the digital pressure sensors. This can either be done using the digital pressure sensor manufacturers configuration software or using this menu item.

  • Page 14: Set Units

    4.2.20. CONFIGURE OUTPUT The 6001SD can output data via the RS485 connection or to a pinger configured as a modem. OUTPUT ENABLED configures the 6001SD to output pressure and temperature readings every second.

  • Page 15: Erase Log

    There is only one communications port in the 60001SD so careful consideration is required when equipment or connections are made to the 6001SD fro the purposes of remotely receiving data. If no communications are required it is advisable to select OUTPUT DISABLE and to set the MODEM UPDATE RATE to zero minutes.

  • Page 16: Limits Display

    4.4. PRESSURE TEST FUNCTION The PRESSURE TEST FUNCTION allows analysis of logged data obtained during pressure tests by the 6001SD. Readings are logged at LOG INTERVAL (Section 4.2.5 SET LOG INTERVAL). The PRESSURE TEST FUNCTION is enabled by toggling PRES. DISABLED so that it shows PRES.
  • Page 17 Values for TEST PERIOD, TEST PRESSURE & PRESSURE DROP are configured by selecting the appropriate item in the menu shown in the figure above. If there is insufficient logged data to provide this information (unit has been powered up less than TEST PERIOD hours) the TEST FUNCTION will return fail indicated by no time or date on the screen.

  • Page 18: Ram Error

    OFF. At switch ON the 6001SD conducts a self-check on the RTC circuitry as per section 4.1 TURNING ON. If any problems are found then the error message shown will be displayed and the 6001SD will reset all system variables to default values.

  • Page 19: Data Unload

    5. DATA UNLOAD 5.1. LOGGING CAPACITY The 6001SD unit is fitted with 32 Mbytes of internal memory available for logging allowing it to store over 2,000,000 readings. This equates to a logging capacity of over 23 days logging every second, or over 3 years logging every minute. If the logging memory becomes full then it automatically wraps around and begins overwriting the oldest data first.
  • Page 20 10. If the unit has been retrieved the data on the 6001SD unit can be erased by selecting the ERASE LOG option within the 6001SD display menu. This means there will be less data to unload next time.

  • Page 21: Unload Data Output

    5.3. UNLOAD DATA OUTPUT Data can be downloaded using the UNLOAD function in the menu system. Connect the USB end of the 6001SD download cable to the PC and the Burton end of the 6001SD download cable to the 6001SD unit.

  • Page 22: Battery Removal

    10. Tighten the bleed screw. 6.1. BATTERY LIFETIME As with all battery powered equipment the operating temperature which the 6001SD is used at alters the operating lifetime. Typically colder temperatures shorten the lifetime. For the standard Alkaline pack the lifetime at +20°C will typically be 20% more than the lifetime at +5°C. Please contact IK Trax for more details or to discuss your requirements.

  • Page 23: Software Installation

    Follow all instructions provided on screen to complete the installation. 7.2. 6001SD SOFTWARE INSTALLATION The 6001SD unit transmits data in ASCII or binary format at 115200 baud, 8 Data bits, No parity, 1 Stop bit, and with No Flow control. Any terminal program such as HyperTerminal or TeraTerm configured with these settings can be used to receive the logged data.

  • Page 24: External Connections

    8. EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS THE 6001SD SQ-21-01-049 IS NOT CONFIGURED FOR EXTERNAL POWER. DO NOT CONNECT EXTERNAL POWER AS THIS WILL RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE. The unit is fitted with a Burton 5507-1508, 8 way, bulkhead connector to provide connection to external power, communications, and other interfaces the standard connections will be as shown below.

  • Page 25: Calibration

    6000SD. Calibration of the 6000SD itself is not required. IK Trax can supply replacement calibrated sensors which can be fitted to the unit in the field. Refer to Section 9.3 SENSOR REPLACEMENT for correct re-installation of the sensors.

    10.3. OPTICAL MODEM OPTION The 6001SD SQ-21-01-049 provides an interface by cable OEL-006648 to a Hydromea LUMA 250LP optical data modem. The interface uses RS485 communications at 115200BAUD, N, 8, 1 format.
  • Page 28 BEACON MODE of 20 seconds. This means that if no beacon signal is received from the Luma 250LP connected to the ROV the modem connected to the 6001SD will go into a very low power sleep mode conserving battery power until needed. It should be noted that light sources present during sleep mode (ROV lights etc.) may partially wake up the modem causing it to draw higher...

  • Page 29: Deployment Considerations

    At least 24 hours prior to deployment any personnel who will be involved with the operation of the 6001SD should review this entire manual to familiarise themselves with the unit. They should also be allowed time to operate the unit on deck. Simply allowing personnel to ‘play’ with the unit before it is actually deployed can save significant costs compared to deploying the unit without understanding how it works and then suffering from an unnecessary operator error.

  • Page 30: Maintenance

    12. MAINTENANCE NOTE 1 - IF THE EXTERNAL CONNECTOR IS UNUSED IT MUST BE FITTED WITH A SUITABLE BLANKING CONNECTOR (e.g. Burton 5501-1508-0000) TO PREVENT CONDUCTION BETWEEN THE PINS AND MALFUNCTION. NOTE 2 - ALWAYS LOOSEN THE BLEEDSCREW TO RELIEVE ANY INTERNAL PRESSURE PRIOR TO OPENING.

  • Page 31: Subsea Cables / Connectors

    The 6001SD contains a coin cell (BR2032) used to permanently power the Real Time Clock circuitry which stores the date and time as well as other system variables such as LOW POWER mode while the unit is turned OFF. This battery should be replaced every 5 years at IK Trax premises.
