June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Computer Considerations TRDI designed the Sentinel V Series ADCP to use a Windows® compatible computer. The built-in ReadyV user interface configures the ADCP and data is displayed through TRDI’s Velocity program. Minimum Computer Hardware Requirements: • Desktop, Laptop, or Netbook computer (see Table 1 for operating system) • Screen resolution above 1024x768 (see note) • Internet Brower (see Table 1 for supported browsers) • Mouse or other pointing device • Wireless 802.11b/g/n WLAN Interface Many laptops and netbooks today have built-in WLAN. If not, then a WLAN adapter is required. Most wireless enabled laptops will be automatically enabled. Consult the instruction manual for your specific device if you are not sure how to do so. Laptops running on Windows XP® may have display issues when using a screen resolution of 1024x768. A workaround is to change the zoom level in the browser so that the entire ReadyV screen is visible. ReadyV does not support Windows 8 Internet Explorer® 10 Metro browser. Users may need to turn off their browser pop-up blockers (either built-in or third party) in order to access ReadyV. Table 1.

Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Power Considerations Use the following section to determine the power requirements for the Sentinel V Series ADCP. • The Sentinel V uses +18 VDC to operate. • Depending on the type of housing Sentinel V is configured with, the ADCP may use a battery pack or individual D-cell batteries. • If the Sentinel V is configured with the optional end-cap connector, then external power can be used. The voltage must be +12 to 20 VDC. The optional AC power adapter provides +18 VDC. Transmitted Power For the Sentinel V, a fresh battery provides +18 VDC. Batteries spend most of their life at a nominal volt-age of +14 VDC. Using 18 VDC will increase the range by 5 to 10% depending on conditions. Power on Cycle The power supply or battery pack must be able to handle the inrush current as well. Inrush current is the current required to fully charge up the capacitors when power is applied to the Sentinel V Series ADCP. The capacitors provide a store of energy for use during transmit. The inrush current is as high as 0.8 Amps RMS at 9.2 VDC. The ADCP will draw this amperage until its capacitors are fully charged. If the power supply or battery pack limits the current or the power drop on the cable is significant, then the power on cycle will take longer. It can take up to three minutes. When power is applied, there is one long beep followed by a short beep 10 to 15 seconds later. The power must not shut down during the inrush current draw, as this may not allow the Sentinel V Series ADCP electronics to start. Page 7
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Connecting to the ADCP The Sentinel V ADCP includes an 802.11b/g/n WLAN interface and a built-in user interface called ReadyV. The Sentinel V Series ADCP acts as the server, along with the connected computer (laptop, tab-let, or desktop computer) known as the client. The ADCP’s DHCP server IP address is 192.168.0.2 or use the WLAN address http://SVnnnnn.adcp (where nnnnn is the five or six character Sentinel V serial number shown on the product label). If the computer does not include a built-in 802.11b/g/n WLAN interface, use a USB adapter. Only one ADCP at a time may be connected. To switch to another ADCP, first disconnect, and then reconnect to the next ADCP. Using the Wireless Connection To connect to the ADCP: 1. Prepare the ADCP by connecting the battery. After power is applied (long beep), there is a 10 to 15 second delay before the network is available (short beep). The WLAN is available after power up for two minutes. Sentinel V battery packs are shipped inside the system but not connected. Connect the battery and seal the Sentinel V before deployment. Sentinel V with D-cells are shipped without batteries inside the system. Install the batteries and seal the Sentinel V before deployment. 2. Start the wireless network device on the laptop if it is not automatically enabled. This may be a built-in wireless connection on a laptop or a USB wireless adapter. The screen shots in this manual were made with Windows® 7. Depending on the operating system and wireless adapter type, your wireless screen may look different. These differences do not affect the performance of ReadyV. Page 8
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 3. Place a finger over the Touch Sensor. This starts the ADCP’s WLAN for two minutes. Steps 3 through 5 must be completed in two minutes to connect to the ADCP. After two minutes, the ADCP’s WLAN will turn off. In the event that the ADCP’s WLAN turns off before the connection is complete, simply start from step 3 again. a. Click on the wireless access-point icon ( ) in the Windows® system tray or if using a wireless USB adapter, start the adapter’s interface. b. Click the Refresh icon ( ) or use the wireless adapter’s interface to search for connections. A list of available wireless networks will appear in the window. Sentinel V ADCPs will show as SVnnnnn (where nnnnn is the five or six character serial number shown on the product label). Repeat step 3 if needed. c. Select the ADCP on the list by clicking it and then click the Connect button. d. The Connecting to a Network message appears. e. If prompted to select a Home, Work, or Public net-work, click Cancel to close the page. The Set Net-work Location page is not needed. 4. Open a browser on the laptop (Internet Explorer®, FireFox®, Google Chrome®, or other browser). 5. Enter the ADCP’s IP address 192.168.0.2 into the address bar or enter http://SVnnnnn.adcp (where nnnnn is the five or six character Sentinel V serial number shown on the product label). The DHCP server IP address 192.168.0.2 works for all ADCP serial numbers. The address is not case sensitive - enter SVnnnnn or svnnnnn. The http:// does not need to be typed on most browsers. Add the Sentinel V to the browser’s Internet Favorites or Favorites bar for future connections. 6. The ReadyV Home panel opens. It can take up to 30 seconds for the Home panel to display. If prompted to update Microsoft Silverlight®, accept the upgrade and restart from step 3 once the upgrade is complete. Internet access is required to update Silverlight®. Page 9
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Figure 3. Using the ReadyV Wireless Connection The Touch Sensor is NOT a button! Just place a finger into the cavity to activate the sensor. After power is applied (long beep), there is a 10 to 15 second delay before the network is available (short beep). Wait for the short beep before trying to connect. The ADCP’s WLAN is available after power up for two minutes. Placing a finger over the Touch Sensor starts the WLAN for another two minutes. Once connected, the WLAN will remain on. Each time the Touch Sensor is touched, a short beep should be heard. Only one ADCP at a time may be connected. To switch to another ADCP, first disconnect, and then reconnect to the next ADCP. Once ReadyV starts, if no keys are pressed for five minutes, the ADCP will disconnect. After waiting two more minutes, the ADCP will power down. Use the Touch Sensor to restart. After a deployment, systems need to be cleaned thoroughly before the touch sensor will work. Wireless Connection Common Issues The ADCP does not appear on the list of devices: The ADCP may have timed out. Place a finger over the Touch Sensor again. There is a short beep indicating that the WLAN is enabled on the ADCP. The ADCP’s WLAN will remain on for two minutes after the short beep. It may take several attempts to connect. Another computer may already be connected to the ADCP. Only one computer may be connected to an ADCP at a time. The ADCP does not have power – connect the battery. After power is applied (long beep), there is a 10 to 15 second delay before the network is available (short beep). Wait for the short beep before clicking the Refresh icon ( ). If the touch sensor is blocked with biofouling, thoroughly clean the sensor cavity first (see Removing Biofouling). Page 10
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 There are no ADCPs on the list of devices: Start the wireless network device on the laptop if it is not automati-cally enabled. This may be a built-in wireless connection on a laptop or a USB wireless adapter. Look for a hardware switch or special function key on the laptop that can turn the wireless radio on or off. Consult the instruction manual for your specific laptop if you are not sure how to do so. If the computer uses an external wireless adapter, make sure the adapter is working correctly and is attached and installed properly. Try using a different USB wireless adapter. The ADCP is connected, but ReadyV does not start: Windows 7 may indicate it is connected and the signal strength is excellent even if the wireless connection is lost due to the ADCP going to sleep. Click on the wireless access-point icon ( ) in the Windows® system tray and click on the ADCP connected to. Click the Disconnect button and then click the Connect button to reconnect to the network. The ADCP is on the list, but connection fails: If the ADCP appears on the list but the laptop fails to connect to it, Windows® 7 may have kept the name on the list because it connect-ed to that network in the past. In other words, this does not mean that the network is actually available. Touch the Wireless Touch Sensor to start the network. Listen for the two beeps: the first one confirms the sensor detected your finger and the second beep confirms the wireless network is ON. Placing a fin-ger over the Touch Sensor starts the network for two minutes. Try to connect again. If the touch sensor is blocked with biofouling, thoroughly clean the sensor cavity first (see Removing Biofouling). If there are no beeps, make sure that the ADCP is properly powered. Page 11

June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual System Setup Click on the System setup panel to change how the system will be set up during the deployment. Click Save to save the settings or Cancel to return to the previous settings. ADCP depth – Enter the depth of the ADCP. The ADCP uses depth in its speed of sound calculations. If the pressure sensor is not available, then the ADCP will use this manual depth setting. Salinity – Enter the salinity of the water. Fresh water is 0 and salt water is typically 35. Salinity is used to calculate the speed of sound. The speed of sound is used by the ADCP to scale the velocity data properly. If 0 is entered when deployed in 35 salinity water, the data will have a 3% velocity estimate error. Magnetic variation – Enter the angle between true north and magnetic north, where a positive value means true north is east of magnetic north. As such, declination depends on geographic location. It also changes very slowly over time. The compass default is to output magnetic heading. For the greatest accuracy, TRDI recommends checking the National Geophysical Data Center website (below) to find the declination angle based on the latitude and longitude: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomagmodels/Declination.jsp Heading adjustment – Corrects for a physical misalignment between the ADCP’s Beam 3 and the head-ing reference. Enter the heading alignment angle (referenced to Beam 3) used as a new zero reference for heading output. Water Profile Parameters Click on the Water profile panels to change how the water profile will be set up during the deployment. The Sentinel V ADCP can have two different water profiles. Each water profile can be set independently. If there is one water profile, the Add second profile button appears. If there are two water profiles, click the red X ( ) to delete a water profile. Click Save to save the settings or Cancel to return to the previous settings. Select profile – Use the Up/Down triangles to select a water profile from the list. Each water profile can use a default setup or select Custom to enter parameters. Page 22
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 The Standard deviation shows the expected standard deviation of the velocity data stored in each ensemble being collected by the Sentinel V ADCP. Most users will want to minimize this value so that they obtain the best data possible (i.e. data containing the least amount of noise). Standard deviation is dependent on cell size, the Number of pings, Ambiguity velocity, and the Bandwidth. Range – Select the range to measure. The default value shown in Table 2 is based on typical range possi-ble based on the system frequency. The actual maximum range is dependent on the absorption in the wa-ter based on the Sentinel V ADCP frequency, the water salinity, water temperature and the actual deploy-ment depth of the ADCP. Cell size – Sets the cell size. Adjust the cell size as necessary as recommended in Table 2. A larger cell size decreases the standard deviation, but shallow water situations may need to use smaller cells to gather more data points. It is not recommended to set the cell size below the minimum or above the maximum range shown in Table 2. First Cell – The range from the transducer face to the middle of the first cell. The Cell size and the Blank primarily affect where it is located. Number of cells – Sets the number of depth cells. The value will be calculated based on the Range and Cell size. The number of cells must be less than 255. Blank – Moves the location of the first cell away from the Sentinel V ADCP transducer head to allow the transmit circuits time to recover before the receive cycle begins. The default value is based on system fre-quency and it is highly recommended to use this value. Setting a value below the default blank distance may show ringing/recovery problems in the first depth cells. It is not recommended to set the blank below the default value shown in Table 2. Table 2. Blank Distance, Range, and Cell Size System Blank Distance (Default) Range (Default) Cell Size (Default (Min – Max)) Sentinel V 100m (307.2kHz) 1.6m 100m 4m (1m - 8m) Sentinel V 50m (491.52kHz) 1.0m 50m 2m (0.6m - 4.8m) Sentinel V 20m (983.04kHz) 0.4m 20m 1m (0.3m - 2.4) Ambiguity velocity – Ambiguity velocity represents the maximum relative velocity (Sentinel V ADCP motion plus the maximum actual water velocity) the ADCP can measure along a beam. Select one of the settings from the drop-down list. This must be set correctly to avoid ambiguity errors. Ambiguity velocity is used to improve the standard deviation: The lower the value of the ambiguity velocity, the lower the single-ping standard deviation. Bandwidth – Sets the profiling bandwidth and sampling rate. Smaller bandwidths allow the ADCP to profile farther, but the standard deviation is increased by as much as 2.5 times. Bandwidth Sample rate Standard deviation Profiling range High (25%) High Low Low Low (6.25%) Low High High Page 23
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Timing Click on the Timing panel to change how the ADCP will ping during the deployment. Click Save to save the settings or Cancel to return to the previous settings. Scenario Timing Time between ensembles – Select a time between ensembles from the drop down list. Time is based on the start of one ensemble to the start of the next ensemble. Time between ensembles applies to both water profiles. Ensemble Timing When two water profiles are used, set the Offset between Profile groups time to avoid ping collisions. Ping interval – Sets the time per ping. Number of pings – Adjust the number of pings to gather the desired Standard Deviation. To increase the expected accuracy of the velocity measurement (reduce the Standard Deviation), increase either the number of pings, cell size, or both. Page 24
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Resources The Resources panel displays the power and data recorder requirements for the deployment. Deployment duration – Enter the expected duration of the deployment from the time of the first measurement ping (either immediately or delayed). This duration does not instruct the Sentinel V ADCP to stop data collection; it is for estimating the battery usage and storage required. Power source – Use the Up/Down triangles to select the power source from the list. Page 25
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Using the System Panel The System panel shows an overview of the Sentinel V ADCP configuration.

The springs should be checked whenever the individual D-cell batteries are replaced. • Update Firmware – this starts the firmware update procedure. • Factory Maintenance – this button shows the date that the factory maintenance was per-formed. It will be updated once serviced by TRDI. Based on experience, TRDI knows that most ADCPs need to have the urethane inspected after two to three years of field use. Many users are not familiar with the early signs of urethane failure. The primary damage to the urethane is from bio-fouling and long exposure to the water and sun. Damage occurs on the surface of the ure-thane and at the edge where the urethane bonds to the cups. By returning the system every two to three years, TRDI can inspect it for early signs of urethane failure and repair it through our Factory Maintenance Service. At the same time, TRDI will make any necessary upgrades to boards, assemblies, and firmware. This routine service period, proper care, and general mainte-nance ensures optimal Sentinel V ADCP performance. Page 31

June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Using Download Managers Based on the deployment setup parameters such as ping interval, number of bins, etc., and the duration of the deployment, the size of the data file to be downloaded from the Sentinel V ADCP can be in the order of gigabytes. While downloading a large data file from the Sentinel V, the user may close the browser by mis-take or the ADCP may disconnect. In order to recover the data file download from such situations, TRDI recommends using a FireFox® download manager add-on called FlashGot®. This add-on will help re-sume downloads from the last point where the partial download left off. Using FlashGot, users may also configure the maximum download speed using any internal and most external download managers. Although ReadyV file downloads will work on most external download managers and most browsers (see Computer Considerations for supported platforms), TRDI recommends using the latest version of Firefox® (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/) and the FlashGot® plugin (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashgot/developers). Once FlashGot® is installed; when a data file is downloaded the following popup is observed: Select the FlashGot option and click OK to download the file. It may be noted that even though there are FlashGot extensions and plugins for other browsers such as Google Chrome® etc., TRDI has not tested the efficacy of the FlashGot plugin in other browser environments.

June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Attaching the Handle The handle makes it easier to carry the Sentinel V ADCP. To attach the handle: 1. Thread the ends of the handle through the slots on the end-cap. 2. Use the snap-links to attach the handle to the Sentinel V ADCP. Figure 14. Handle Page 50
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Mounting the Instrument The preferred method of mounting the Sentinel V is using clamps that grip the circumference of the hous-ing. The fallback method of mounting the instrument is to use the holes on the end-cap. See the Outline Installation Drawings for dimensions. When clamping the Sentinel V to a mount, the clamp must not have a large gap between the front and rear clamp. Using this type of design can cause the housing to deform or even break if the clamps are over tightened. This will cause the ADCP to flood. Design clamps that fully surround the housing. Design the gap as small as possible so that when the clamp is fully tightened it will not deform the housing or cause excessive pressure on the housing. Poor Design Good Design Figure 15. Mounting the Instrument Figure 16. Example Sentinel V End-Cap Mount Use M6x1.0 bolts. Only use stainless steel hardware. The maximum thru-hole diameter in the mounting plate is 6.85 mm (0.270 inch). Using a larger thru-hole could result in the threaded metal inserts on the end-cap being pulled out of the plastic end-cap. Page 51
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual WorkHorse to Sentinel V Mount Adapters TRDI has designed two adapters to use an existing WorkHorse mount with the Sentinel V. The 81D-5000-xx adapter (where xx is available for different length housings) includes sleeves to make the Sentinel V fit into a clamp designed for Workhorse ADCPs. The rubber sleeves are textured on one side to provide a better grip on the ADCP and include adhesive on the other side so that the customer can either glue it to the instrument or their clamp. The 81D-5001 kit is a delrin plate with WorkHorse end-cap hole pattern. Figure 17. 81D-5000 Mounting Clamp Adapter Kit Figure 18. 81D-5001 End-Cap Mounting Plate Adapter Kit Page 52
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Connecting Cables and Dummy Plugs Sentinel V ADCPs can be purchased with the optional end-cap connector using either the right-angle or straight connectors. The dummy plugs should be installed any time the cable is removed. Use the dummy plug when the Sentinel V ADCP is in storage or is being handled. To Disconnect the Cable or Dummy Plug: 1. Turn the locking sleeve counterclockwise until it is fully loose and slides back. 2. Grasp the cable or dummy plug close to the housing and pull the cable or dummy plug straight out away from the connector. Figure 19. Removing the End-Cap Connector Dummy Plug To Connect the Cable or Dummy Plug: 1. Spray lubricant on the rubber portion of the connector pins. This will help seat the connector. Use light amounts of aerosol silicone (dry type) lubricant (such as from 3M) to help seat the cable connectors and to protect the neoprene rubber from deterioration. Regular lubrication is required. 2. Insert the dummy plug / cable onto the connector, rotating it until the keyed portions are properly aligned. While keeping a slight inward pressure on the cable connector and ensuring that the con-nector is straight, thread the locking sleeve onto the receptacle to complete the connection. Do NOT use any tools to tighten the locking sleeve ring. It should only be “finger tight”. Page 53
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Connecting the External Battery Case Sentinel V ADCPs can be purchased with the optional end-cap connector and an external battery case. The dummy plugs should be installed any time the external battery case cable is removed. Use the dummy plugs when the Sentinel V ADCP is in storage or is being handled. To connect the external battery case: 1. Remove the dummy plugs on the Sentinel V and external battery case (see Connecting Cables and Dummy Plugs). 2. Connect the external battery case cable. Figure 20. Connecting the External Battery Case To avoid affecting the compass, place the external battery case at least 30cm (11.8 inches) away from the Sentinel V ADCP. Page 54

Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Figure 30. Load Cage Photo courtesy of Angela Cates, UNM. Using an Over-the-Side Mount The over-the-side mount is common when the ability to move the Sentinel V ADCP from one platform to another is needed. The mount must be as rigid as possible to limit the amount of pitch and roll applied to the ADCP. Although the tilt sensor can measure a ±90° influence, anything beyond 15° will cause bias to the data that cannot be removed. No matter what mounting type used, the ADCP must be below the bub-ble layer. Bubbles will cling to the urethane faces of the ADCP and reduce the range to almost nothing. Usually a mount somewhere aft of amidship is used. A stern mount will cause all sorts of problems due to propeller wake, bubbles and turbulent water conditions. Our transducer assembly is sturdy, but TRDI did not design it to withstand collisions with all floating objects. TRDI strongly suggests protecting the Sentinel V ADCP if this is a possibility. Avoid using ferro-magnetic materials in the mounting fixtures or near the Sentinel V ADCP. They affect the compass. Use titanium or 316 stainless steel hardware. Page 59
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Example of an Over-the-Side Mount When mounting the Sentinel V ADCP to a platform, use the following sequence. • Test the Sentinel V ADCP • Align the compass • Mount to the platform (see Figure 31). Figure 31. Example of an Over the Side Mount 1. Hand winch with cable or rope. 2. Boat cleat to tie off the lower end of the rotating arm. 3. Rotating arm. The rotating arm has to be strong to prevent vibration of the instrument which can cause false data readings and it must be non-magnetic to avoid interference with the compass. 4. Pivot housing. 5. Instrument clamps (see Mounting the Instrument). Over-the-Side Mounting Special Considerations Use the following suggestions when mounting the Sentinel V ADCP to a platform. • It is desirable to rigidly mount the Sentinel V ADCP to the platform. Avoid the free spinning of the ADCP in this application. The ADCP must stay in the water at all times. • The ADCP must be mounted deep enough so that turbulence caused by its movement through the water does not allow air bubbles to be attached to the transducer faces. • Avoid mounting the ADCP near motors and thrusters. They cause air bubbles and will cause bias to the internal compass. • Avoid mountings that will cause the ADCP to see severe accelerations. Page 60
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Routing Cables The optional External Battery cable connects to the Sentinel V. Teledyne RD Instruments delivers the ca-ble with both connectors attached. Use care when routing this cable through bulkheads, deck plates, cable runs and watertight spaces. Make allowances in cable length and engineering design plans for cable rout-ing. When necessary, use strain reliefs on the cables. Route the cable so: • Install cables with the connectors attached. • It does not have kinks or sharp bends. Do not exceed a bend radius of 75 mm (3 in.). • The cable can easily be replaced it if it fails. • Protect the cable with abrasion resistant sleeving if zip-ties are used to secure it to structures (see Figure 32 and Figure 33). Secure the cables to the mounting structure in such a way that the ca-bles do not move or vibrate. • Secure all cables to the mounting structure in such a manor so that no forces are exerted on any connector. Secure the cable as close to the connector as possible without causing any stress to the connector. Figure 32. Do not use Zip-Ties Directly on Cables When attaching the Sentinel V ADCP cables to the mount, do not zip-tie the cables directly to the structure. Zip-ties slowly cut through the cable’s outer jacket and cause leaks. Page 61
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Figure 33. Cables Protected with Abrasion Resistant Sleeving Notice the design of the clamps used to secure the battery housings. See Mounting the Instrument for clamp designs. Always protect the cable when attaching it to structures. Use an abrasion resistant sleeving where a zip-tie is used to protect the cable. Page 62

Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Inspecting the ADCP Inspect the Sentinel V ADCP to spot problems before and after each deployment: • Thoroughly clean the exterior of the ADCP after retrieval. See Removing Biofouling for details. After a deployment, systems need to be cleaned thoroughly before the touch sensor will work. • Check the urethane coating on the transducer faces for dents, chipping, peeling, urethane shrinkage, hairline cracks and damage that may affect watertight integrity or transducer opera-tion (see Figure 37). The urethane coating is important to Sentinel V ADCP watertight integrity. Mishandling, chemicals, abrasive cleaners and excessive depth pressures can damage the transducer ceramics or urethane coating. Repair of the transducer faces should only be done by TRDI. • Check the I/O connector(s) for cracks or bent pins (see Figure 38). Repair of the connectors should only be done by TRDI. The connector is made of rubber and as a general maintenance item TRDI recommends that the connector be replaced every five years or whenever visible signs of wear or corrosion appear. • Check the cable connectors for cracks or bent pins. Inspect the full length of the cable for cuts, nicks in the insulation and exposed conductors. • Check all bolts, washers and split washers for signs of corrosion. Replace if needed. Figure 37.

June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Disassembly and Assembly Procedures This section explains how to remove and replace the end-cap or transducer head to gain access to the Sen-tinel V electronics, batteries and digital recorder. Disassembling the Sentinel V If the ADCP was just recovered from a deployment, use caution when removing the end-cap or transducer head. If the system leaked, water may be inside the housing and under pressure. To avoid any possible injury always loosen the four bolts to allow any internal pressure to be vented from the system. Caution label on End-Cap Wear safety glasses and keep head and body clear of the end-cap while opening. Any system that was deployed may have pressure inside the housing. Removing the End-Cap To remove the end-cap: 1. Dry the outside of the Sentinel V ADCP. 2. Disconnect the I/O cable and install the dummy plug (for systems with an end-cap connector). 3. Lay the Sentinel V ADCP on its side on a soft pad. 4. Inspect the end cap bolts for any signs of damage such as bending, stretched bolts, crushed or de-formed housing captive nuts, etc. These signs may indicate that there is internal pressure inside the system. 5. Using a 4mm Hex Key, loosen each of the M5 captured bolts (counterclockwise) until the O-ring seal is released. 6. Allow the system the opportunity to vent while the bolts are loose. To avoid any possible injury ALWAYS loosen the four end-cap bolts to allow any internal pressure to be vented from the system. 7. Once any possible over-pressure has been released, completely loosen the four M5 retaining bolts. The end-cap hardware will stay attached to the end-cap. A lanyard connects the end-cap to the housing. This protects the internal I/O cable from being pulled too far away from the Sentinel V ADCP. 8. Carefully lift the end-cap away from the housing. Observe how the internal I/O cable is coiled in-side the housing. It must be coiled it the same way when replacing the end-cap. 9. Let the end-cap hang from the lanyard to the side of the ADCP. The lanyard protects the internal I/O cable from being pulled too far away from the Sentinel V ADCP. CAUTIONContents May be Under Pressure. Refer to Operator’s Manual Prior to Servicing.90Z-6038-00Page 68
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Removing the Transducer Head Assembly Normal maintenance does not require removing the transducer head. Use the following procedures only if directed to do so by TRDI Field Service personnel. Sentinel V ADCPs contain Electro Static Sensitive Devices. Take accepted ESD prevention measures before opening the transducer head. If the transducer assembly is removed, replace both the desiccant and O-ring. For access to the Sentinel V internal battery, remove the end-cap assembly (see End-Cap Removal Procedures). To remove the transducer assembly from the housing: 1. Dry the outside of the Sentinel V ADCP. 2. Disconnect the I/O cable and install the dummy plug (for systems with an end-cap connector). 3. Lay the Sentinel V ADCP on its side on a soft pad. 4. Inspect the transducer bolts for any signs of damage such as bending, stretched bolts, crushed or deformed housing captive nuts, etc. These signs may indicate that there is internal pressure inside the system. 5. Using a 4mm hex key, loosen each of the M5 captured bolts (counterclockwise) until the O-ring seal is released. 6. Allow the system the opportunity to vent while the bolts are loose. To avoid any possible injury ALWAYS loosen the four end-cap bolts to allow any internal pressure to be vented from the system. 7. Once any possible over-pressure has been released, completely loosen the four M5 retaining bolts. The transducer hardware will stay attached to the transducer assembly. 8. With an ESD ground-strap on, carefully lift the transducer assembly straight up and away from the housing until the internal I/O cable connector jack is accessible. Only lift the transducer assembly enough so it can be disconnected the internal I/O cable. There is no lanyard on the transducer side to protect the internal cable from being damaged. 9. Gently pull the internal I/O cable connector to release it from the jack. Set the transducer head as-sembly (transducer face down) on a soft pad. Page 69
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Reassembling the Sentinel V To replace the end-cap or transducer head, proceed as follows. Use the Parts Location Drawings for parts identification. Replacing the End-Cap To replace the end-cap: 1. Stand the Sentinel V ADCP on its transducer face on a soft pad. 2. Clean the mating surfaces of the end-cap and housing with a lint-free cloth. 3. Inspect, clean and lubricate the O-ring on the housing (see Replacing the O-ring). Ensure that the O-ring is firmly pressed into the groove. TRDI recommends using a new end-cap O-ring each time the ADCP is opened. 4. Replace the desiccant (see Replacing the Desiccant). 5. Check the internal I/O connectors are connected. 6. Place the end-cap on the housing, aligning the mating holes and the alignment mark embossed on the end-cap with the alignment mark embossed on the housing. When mating the end-cap with the housing flange, try to apply equal pressure to all parts of the O-rings. Make sure the O-ring remains in its retaining groove. As the end-cap is placed on the housing, check the cables are coiled around the inside of the housing and do not become pinched. Check that no wires or any other object is pinched between the end-cap and the housing. If the O-ring is not properly installed or if a wire or other object is pinched, the Sentinel V ADCP will flood. Figure 39. Replacing the End-Cap If the Sentinel V ADCP uses an internal battery pack, the rubber bumpers on the end-cap hold the battery in place. Apply a bit of pressure to the end-cap to fully seat it as the end-cap hardware is tightened. 7. Check the housing captive nuts are not stripped or worn. Replace as necessary (see Replacing the Captive nuts). Captive nuts snap into place with the small bump facing the housing. Page 70
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 8. Examine the end-cap assembly bolts and washers for corrosion; replace if necessary. Figure 40. End-Cap Mounting Hardware 9. Install all four sets of hardware until “finger-tight.” 10. Tighten the bolts in small increments in a “cross” pattern until the split washer begins to flatten out and then use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts to the recommended torque value of 1.7 Nm (15 Pound-Force Inch). Apply equal pressure to the O-ring as the bolts are tightened. If one bolt is tightened more than the others, the O-ring can become pinched or torn. A damaged O-ring will cause the system to flood. Do not over tighten the bolts that hold the transducer, housing and end cap together. If the bolts are over-tightened, the plastic housing can crack or break. On the other hand, leaving the bolts too loose can cause the system to flood. Tighten the hardware to 1.7 Nm (15 Pound-Force Inch). Replacing the Transducer Head Assembly To replace the transducer head assembly: 1. Stand the Sentinel V ADCP on its end-cap on a soft pad. 2. Inspect, clean and lubricate the O-ring on the housing (see Replacing the O-ring). Ensure that the O-ring is firmly pressed into the groove. TRDI recommends using a new transducer head O-ring whenever the ADCP is opened. 3. Replace the desiccant (see Replacing the Desiccant). Ensure that the desiccant will not press on the electronics. 4. Reconnect the internal I/O connector. 5. Gently lower the transducer head/electronics assembly into the housing, aligning the mating holes and the alignment mark embossed on the transducer with the alignment mark embossed on the housing. When mating the housing with the transducer head flange try to apply equal pressure to all parts of the O-ring. Make sure the face O-ring remains in the retaining groove. Check that no wires or any other object is pinched between the transducer head and the housing. If the O-ring is not in the groove or if a wire or other object is pinched, the Sentinel V ADCP will flood. Page 71
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual 6. Examine the transducer head assembly bolts and washers for corrosion; replace if necessary. 7. Check the housing captive nuts are not stripped or worn. Replace as necessary (see Replacing the Captive nuts). Captive nuts snap into place with the small bump facing the housing. 8. Tighten all four sets of hardware until “finger tight.” 9. Tighten the bolts in small increments in a “cross” pattern until the split washer begins to flatten out and then use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts to the recommended torque value of 1.7 Nm (15 Pound-Force Inch). Apply equal pressure to the O-ring as the bolts are tightened. If one bolt is tightened more than the others, the O-ring can become pinched or torn. A damaged O-ring will cause the system to flood. Do not over tighten the bolts that hold the transducer, housing and end cap together. If the bolts are over-tightened, the plastic housing can crack or break. On the other hand, leaving the bolts too loose can cause the system to flood. Tighten the hardware to 1.7 Nm (15 Pound-Force Inch). Replacing the Sentinel V Battery One of the most often preformed maintenance tasks is battery replacement. The Sentinel V Series ADCP uses battery packs or individual D-cell batteries to provide power. The housing will be different lengths depending on the type of batteries used (see Outline Installation Drawings for dimensions and weights). When the capacity of a battery pack is 50% used, the voltage falls to approximately 14 volts. However, keep in mind that this voltage is not an accurate predictor of remaining capacity. Batteries should be re-placed when the voltage falls below 11 VDC. Do not leave the battery pack inside the Sentinel V for extended periods. The battery may leak, causing damage to the electronics. Sentinel V battery packs are shipped inside the system but not connected. Connect the battery and seal the Sentinel V before deployment. Sentinel V with D-cells are shipped without batteries inside the system. Install the batteries and seal the Sentinel V before deployment. Battery replacement induces both single and double cycle compass errors. The compass should be aligned after replacing the battery pack. Replacing the Battery Pack To replace the battery pack: 1. Remove the end-cap (see Removing the End-Cap). 2. Disconnect the black/red battery cable. 3. Place the ADCP on its end on a table/floor and lift the battery pack out of the housing by the bat-tery handle. Do not pull out the battery using the battery cable. Never pull on the black/red battery pack power cable to remove the battery pack. The cable will break and may cause the battery pack to short. Do not drop the battery pack. Page 72
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Use the battery handle to lift out the battery. Optionally, tip the ADCP on its side to slide the battery pack out. 4. Slide in the new battery pack. Make sure the I/O cable is not pinched by the battery pack. 5. Connect the battery cable. 6. Replace the desiccant (see Replacing the Desiccant). 7. Install the end-cap (see End-cap Replacement). 8. Use the Maintenance panel to set the date the battery was replaced. 9. Align the compass (see Compass Calibration). Figure 41. Battery Pack Replacing Individual D-cell Batteries The Sentinel V loose-battery housing uses 12 D-cell alkaline batteries. Ensure that proper polarity is observed when installing batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline with non-alkaline batteries. Do not use damaged batteries. Do not mix batteries of different brands. Do not use expired batteries. Do not leave the batteries inside the Sentinel V for extended periods. The batteries may leak, causing damage to the electronics. Store the batteries in a cool, dry location (0 to 21 degrees C). To replace the D-cell batteries: 1. Remove the end-cap (see Removing the End-Cap). 2. Remove the battery cover plate by loosening the knob (rotate counterclockwise). 3. Slide out the used batteries. 4. Slide in the new batteries starting with the three batteries in the center with the negative side up. Next place the other three batteries with the negative side up. Place the last six batteries on the outer edges with the positive side up. See Figure 42 for battery orientation. Page 73
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual 5. Ensure all batteries are fully seated by pushing them all the way down into the battery cavity. 6. Position the cover plate over the batteries. 7. Tighten the knob firmly to hold the batteries in place. 8. Replace the desiccant (see Replacing the Desiccant). 9. Install the end-cap (see Replacing the End-cap). As the end-cap is placed on the housing, check the cables lay flat and do not become pinched. Check that no wires or any other object is pinched between the End-Cap and the housing. If the O-ring is not in the groove or if a wire or other object is pinched, the Sentinel V ADCP will flood. 10. Use the Maintenance panel to set the date the batteries were replaced. 11. Align the compass (see Calibrating the Compass). Figure 42. D-cell Battery Replacement Replace the three batteries in the center first to make it easier to maintain the proper spacing between batteries. Page 74
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Replacing the External Battery Case Packs To replace the external battery case battery packs: 1. Remove the end-cap (see Removing the End-Cap). 2. Disconnect the black/red battery cable on the top battery pack. 3. Tip the external battery case on its side to slide out both used battery packs and the rubber pad. Do not pull out the batteries using the battery cables. Never pull on the black/red battery pack power cable to remove the battery packs. The cable will break and may cause the battery pack to short. Tip the external battery on its side to slide out the used battery packs. 4. Disconnect the black/red battery cable on the bottom battery pack. 5. Connect the battery cable to the bottom battery pack and slide it into the case. The battery pack cable of the bottom battery pack faces the bottom of the housing. 6. Slide in the rubber cushion on top of the bottom battery pack. 7. Slide in a second battery pack and connect the battery cable. Make sure the cable is not pinched by the battery pack. 8. Connect the battery cable to the end-cap connector. 9. Replace the desiccant (see Replacing the Desiccant). 10. Install the end-cap (see End-cap Replacement). 11. Use the Maintenance panel to set the date the battery was replaced. Figure 43. External Battery Case Exploded View Page 75
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Calibrating the Compass The compass calibration for the Sentinel V can be conceptualized as the Sentinel V inside a sphere with twelve equally spaced points located on the sphere. The twelve points are the data collected during the compass calibration to orient the compass in different positions relative to the earth’s magnetic field. Each of the twelve calibration points has a large impact on defining the sphere correctly. The calibration score (Table 3) is a measure of how well the measured calibration points combine to represent a uniform and complete sphere. Figure 44. Calibrating the Compass Be aware of the following items: • The optimal angle of tilt during calibration is around 50 degrees. Less tilt during calibration is acceptable if the Sentinel V is not expected to be exposed to much tilt while deployed. This will be reflected in the z-coverage score. • The Sentinel V cannot be adequately calibrated without tilting the system during the compass calibration. A single plane calibration is not advised. • The precision of the tilt angle or heading during calibration are not critical. Tilts and headings can be off by 10 degrees or more for any step. “By hand” and “by eye” calibrations are possible (a calibration fixture is not required). • The Sentinel V should be calibrated in the same orientation (beams-up/beams-down) as it will be deployed. Failure to do so will cause a 2 to 4 degrees RMS error on the compass reading which is outside of the specified heading accuracy for the Sentinel V. • Calibration data points can be taken out-of-order if desired. • The Sentinel V compass should be calibrated while mounted to the system or mounting structure whenever possible. The compass can negate hard and soft iron errors, but only if they are ac-counted for in the calibration. Page 76
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 • Results from the compass calibration are not stored inside the system or in any file. • The Maintenance log will indicate that the compass calibration has been completed even if the compass calibration resulted in a failed condition. • If the compass calibration results in a “fail” condition, ReadyV will automatically reject it and re-store the factory calibration. • The Sentinel V compass should be calibrated after all battery changes. • Compass calibration should be performed free from ambient magnetic fields. Nearby steel, iron, magnets, and other magnetic fields will degrade the calibration and accuracy, and will provide a bad calibration score. The exception to this rule is if the system is purposely being calibrated while mounted to a structure or system, and that structure or system is being rotated / manipu-lated along with the Sentinel V during calibration. • The Sentinel V checks for stability before it takes a calibration point. It should be held still in each position until the point is taken. • Protect the Sentinel V surfaces from contact or abrasion during calibration. To calibrate the compass: 1. Place the Sentinel V ADCP as far away from metal objects as possible. Use a soft pad to protect the ADCP during calibration. Place the ADCP in the same orientation as it will be deployed. 2. Connect to the Sentinel V ADCP. 3. Use the Maintenance panel to start the compass calibration. 4. Orientate the ADCP so that beam 1 points at 0 degrees and tilt the ADCP approximately 30 de-grees (beam 1 should be higher than beam 2) (see Figure 45). Click the Take sample button. 5. Rotate the ADCP to the positions as prompted, noting that these are not absolute heading direc-tions, but rather relative headings referenced to the initial heading sample. 6. Once the calibration is complete the Sentinel V ADCP provides a calibration score that indicates the quality of the calibration (see Table 3). If the Calibration Score is 7 or lower, see Troubleshoot-ing a Bad Calibration Score and start the compass calibration over. 7. Click the Close button to exit the compass calibration screen. Page 77

When in doubt, calibrate outside and away from metal, machines, and electronics. • If the X-Y coverage score is 7 or lower, make sure the rotation directions and tilts are followed. A 30 to 50 degree tilt during calibration is desired. Over-tilting can also lower this score. • If the Z coverage score is 7 or lower, it usually means the system was not being tilted enough during calibration (a score of 1 means the system was not tilted at all). Restore to Factory Defaults If the compass calibration fails after repeated attempts, use the Restore to factory defaults button. This will use the factory calibration of the compass module itself as it was shipped from the vendor, not a system level calibration at the time of manufacture at TRDI. This calibration will not take into considera-tion variables such as magnetic fields from batteries or mounting fixtures. The assumption is a factory calibration may be better than a failed field calibration result. Page 81
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Periodic Maintenance Periodic maintenance helps maintain the Sentinel V so it is ready for a deployment. Use the following ta-ble to order replacement parts. Table 4: Sentinel V ADCP Spare Parts Part No Description Where Used 2-163 O-Ring, EPDM, DURO 70 See Replacing the O-ring 5020 Silicone Lubricant, 4-Pack 81D-6003-00 O-Ring Tool S-3905 Desiccant, Silica Gel, 5 GR, 1 1/16 X 2 3/4" See Replacing the Desiccant 6958A14 Hex Key, 4mm, Long Arm See Disassembly and Assembly Procedures 81D-4002-00 Nut-Insert, Housing 81D-4003-00 Captured Bolt, Housing M3X0.5X8FHN Screw, Flat Head, Nylon, Black See Filling the Pressure Sensor Cavity with Oil 75BK6004-00 Kit, Fill, Silicone Oil 71D-3000-00 Battery Pack, 18 VDC, 36 D-Cell See Replacing the Battery Pack Table 5: Sentinel V ADCP Repair Kits Part No Description Where Used 75DK6001-00 Tools and Spares Kit See Disassembly and Assembly Procedures 75DK6002-00 Battery Contact Replacement Kit See Replacing the Battery Springs 75DK6003-00 Battery Separator Replacement Kit See Replacing the Battery Separators Replacing the O-Ring TRDI strongly recommends replacing the O-ring whenever the Sentinel V ADCP is opened. Inspecting and replacing the O-ring should be done before sealing the ADCP. There is no need to disconnect the end-cap cables or lanyard to replace the O-ring. The O-ring is large enough to stretch over the end-cap. The O-ring sits in a dove-tail groove. This makes it less likely to fall out when the system is opened. Use the O-ring tool to pry it out of the groove. Never use metal tools as this may damage the O-ring groove or the housing flange. The O-ring is size 2-163 for both transducer and end-cap. To replace the O-ring: 1. Remove the end-cap or transducer head (see Disassembly and Assembly Procedures). 2. Insert the tip of the O-Ring tool on the inside edge of the groove and gently slide it around the groove perimeter to lift the O-Ring. Page 82
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Figure 47. Using the O-Ring Removal Tool 3. Inspect the O-ring. When viewed with an unaided eye, the O-ring must be free of cuts, indenta-tions, abrasions, foreign matter and flow marks. The O-ring must be smooth and uniform in ap-pearance. Defects must be less than 0.1 mm (0.004 in.). If the O-ring appears compressed from prior use, replace it. Weak or damaged O-rings will cause the Sentinel V ADCP to flood. 4. Clean and inspect the O-ring groove and the plastic housing flange. Also check the mating surface on the transducer and end-cap. Be sure they are free of foreign matter, scratches, indentations, and pitting. Check the O-ring groove thoroughly. Any foreign matter in the O-ring groove will cause the Sentinel V ADCP to flood. 5. Lubricate the O-ring with a thin coat of silicone lubricant. Apply the lubricant using latex gloves. Do not let loose fibers or lint stick to the O-ring. Fibers can provide a leakage path. Slip the O-ring over the end-cap and press the O-ring into the groove. Apply a very thin coat of silicone lube on the O-ring. Using too much silicone lube on the O-ring can be more harmful than using no O-ring lube at all. 6. Use the Maintenance panel to set the date the O-ring was replaced. Page 83
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Filling the Pressure Sensor Cavity with Oil The pressure sensor cavity needs to be filled with oil before deployment to deal with both trapped air and long-term reliability of the pressure sensor. Use Dow Corning Q7-9120 Silicone fluid, 12,500 CST oil. This fluid is supplied with the Sentinel V ADCP in the spare parts kit. The sensor cavity can be filled any time before system installation; however care should be taken to keep the ADCP from high temperature during this time. High temperatures may cause the oil to leak. The pressure sensor cavity is not filled with oil when shipped. This must be done before deploying the Sentinel V ADCP. To fill the pressure sensor with oil: 1. Place the Sentinel V ADCP on its end-cap. Use a soft pad to protect the ADCP. 2. Use a straight-slot screwdriver to remove the three flat-head black nylon M3 screws on the pres-sure sensor and then lift off the pressure sensor cover. 3. Fill the pressure port cavity to the top with the oil. A plastic bottle with silicone oil (part number 75BK6004-00) is included in the spare parts kit. Have an absorbent paper towel on hand to clean up any overflow that may occur. 4. Gently clean out the holes in the pressure sensor cover with a needle. If the holes become enlarged or the cover is corroded, replace the cover. The cover part number is 81D-4000-00. 5. Install the cover slowly, allowing time for the oil to pass through the holes. Tighten the screws “finger tight”0.2 Nm (1.8 Pound-Force Inch). Do not over tighten as the threads on the plastic screws may strip. If this happens, replace the screw (spare flat-head black nylon M3 screws are in-cluded in the spare parts kit). Use extreme caution to not touch or put any pressure on the face of the pressure sensor. The sensor face contains a sensitive membrane that can be easily damaged. If the membrane is damaged the pressure sensor will fail. 6. Use the Maintenance panel to set the date the oil was filled. The Pressure sensor cavity should be checked and if needed refilled between deployments. Figure 48. Filling the Pressure Sensor Cavity with Oil Page 84
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Zero the Pressure Sensor Use the Maintenance panel to zero out the pressure sensor at the deployment site. This must be done pri-or to deploying the Sentinel V ADCP in the water. 1. Connect and apply power to the system. 2. On the Maintenance panel, click Pressure sensor. This will zero it. 3. Click the Close button. The date and time the pressure sensor was zeroed will be updated. Figure 49. Zero the Pressure Sensor Cleaning the Thermistor Cover In order to respond quickly to changes in the water temperature, water must be able to flow over the sen-sor. Do not block the thermistor cover or paint over it with antifouling paint. Remove any biofouling as soon as possible. The thermistor is embedded in the transducer head. The sensor is under a stainless steel cover that is highly resistant to corrosion. Figure 50. Thermistor and Pressure Sensor Page 85
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Replacing the Desiccant Desiccant is used to dehumidify the housing interior. Desiccant is essential in deployments with plastic housings. The factory-supplied desiccant lasts a year at specified Sentinel V ADCP deployment depths and temperatures. Remember that desiccant rapidly absorbs moisture from normal room air. As a minimum, replace the desiccant whenever the ADCP housing is opened. Do not open the desiccant bag. Contact with the silica gel can cause nose, throat and skin irritation. Do not puncture or tear the desiccant bag. Do not use desiccant bags that are torn or open. Desiccant bags are shipped in an airtight aluminum bag to ensure maximum effectiveness. There is a moisture indicator inside the bag. If the moisture indicator is pink, do not use the desiccant bag until it has been dried. TRDI recommends replacing the desiccant bag just before the deployment. The Sentinel V ADCP housing has separate cavities for the battery and electronics. If the end-cap is removed, only replace the end-cap desiccant. To replace the end-cap side desiccant: 1. Remove the end-cap (see End-Cap Removal Procedures). 2. Remove the new desiccant bag from the airtight aluminum bag. 3. Remove the old desiccant bag and install a new one. Place the desiccant bag between the battery pack or D-Cell batteries cover plate and the end-cap as shown in Figure 35 and Figure 36. Ensure that the desiccant will not interfere with other components when the instrument is closed. 4. Install the end-cap (see End-cap Replacement). 5. Use the Maintenance panel to set the date the desiccant was replaced. Normal maintenance does not require removing the transducer head. If the transducer assembly is removed, replace both the desiccant and O-ring. To replace the transducer side desiccant: 1. Remove the transducer head (see Transducer Head Assembly Removal). 2. Remove the new desiccant bag from the airtight aluminum bag. 3. Remove the old desiccant bag and install a new one. Place the desiccant bag inside the housing cavity as shown in Figure 35 and Figure 36. Ensure that the desiccant will not interfere with other components when the instrument is closed. 4. Install the transducer head (see Transducer Head Assembly Replacement). 5. Use the Maintenance panel to set the date the desiccant was replaced. Page 86
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Replacing the Captive Nuts To replace a captive nut: 1. Press one end of the captive nut to cause the other end to lift slightly out of the housing. 2. Gently pry out the captive nut using a sharp-edged plastic tool (recommended) or a flat thin screw driver. 3. Inspect the threads and make sure that these are not stripped or worn. If so, replace the captive nut. 4. Captive nuts snap into place with the plastic lip facing the housing. 5. Apply pressure on either ends of the captive nut as necessary to make it flush with the housing. Figure 51. Replacing the Captive Nuts Page 87
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Replacing the Battery Springs Replace the individual D-cell battery springs when they break or become corroded. Order the battery spring replacement kit part number 75DK6002-00. TRDI recommends replacing these springs every five years or whenever visible signs of wear or corrosion appear. To replace the battery springs: 1. Remove the batteries. 2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw holding the spring in place. 3. Install the new springs. 4. Replace the batteries. 5. Use the Maintenance panel to set the date the springs were replaced. Replacing the Battery Separators Replace the individual D-cell battery separator when they break or become worn. Order the battery sepa-rator replacement kit part number 75DK6003-00. To replace the battery separators: 1. Remove the batteries. 2. Remove the separator by turning it counter-clockwise. 3. Install the new separator. 4. Replace the batteries. Figure 52. Individual D-cell Battery Compartment Page 88
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Installing Firmware Upgrades To install a firmware upgrade: 1. Download the firmware from TRDI’s website customer care page. Save the file to the computer and unzip the file. The file will be *.svxxxx.bin format where xxxx = firmware version. Use a local drive or network drive that is always accessible when exporting and importing *.plan files. ReadyV will “remember” the last drive used and if it is not available, may appear to hang. 2. Connect to the Sentinel V ADCP. 3. On the Maintenance panel, select Update firmware. The firmware can also be updated by click-ing on the Update button on the System panel. Maintenance Panel System Panel Figure 53. Updating the Firmware 4. Locate the firmware file *.svxxxx.bin file downloaded in step 1. Select the file and click Open. 5. The firmware will install. 6. Once the firmware update is complete, the ADCP will reboot. Click Close and then close the browser and reconnect the wireless connection to connect to the ADCP. 7. If the new firmware does not install, contact Customer Service. Page 89
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Preventing Biofouling This section explains how to prevent the buildup of organic sea life (biofouling) on the transducer faces. Objects deployed within about 100 meters (≈328 feet) of the surface are subject to biofouling, especially in warm, shallow water. Soft-bodied organisms usually cause no problems, but barnacles can cut through the urethane transducer face causing failure to the transducer and leakage into the Sentinel V ADCP. The best-known way to control biofouling is cleaning the Sentinel V ADCP transducer faces often. Howev-er, in many cases this is not possible. In that case, coat the entire Sentinel V ADCP with the recommended antifouling paint. Make sure that the paint is applied in an even coat over the transducer faces. As originally manufactured, the transducer faces have a smooth surface which makes it inhospitable for most biofouling to develop. Preserving this smooth surface is an effective way to prevent heavy bio-growth on the transducer faces. However, if an antifouling coating is desired on the transducer faces, then the faces must be lightly abraded to allow for the antifouling coating to adhere. As a rule, the surface must be kept smooth unless an antifouling coating will be applied. Most EPA approved anti-fouling paint can be used on the housing and the urethane transducer faces. Contact the antifouling paint manufacturer for preparation and application procedures for this and other antifoulant paints. Interlux is one source of antifouling paint. Contacting this company is done with the knowledge that Teledyne RD Instruments is not recommending them, but only offering this as a source for the anti-fouling paint. Manufacturer Contact Courtalds Finishes Telephone: +1 (800) 468-7589 Interlux brand paints Web Page : http://www.yachtpaint.com/usa/ The following tips are only general recommendations. Always follow the anti-fouling paint manufacturer’s instructions on how to apply the anti-fouling paint. 1. Transducer Face Surface Preparation - Lightly abrade the surface using Scotch Brite® to remove gloss. Thoroughly clean the areas to be painted with soapy water and dry before applying the anti-fouling paint. 2. Mask as necessary. Do not paint over mounting hardware, thermistor, and pressure sensor. 3. If applying a second coat, allow the first coat to dry. One coat usually lasts one season (3-4 months); two coats might last one year. 4. Be extra careful to apply a smooth, thin coat of paint to the urethane faces. 5. Apply one or two coats of anti-fouling paint at 4-mil per coat. Do not block the pressure sensor port. The sensor port has several small holes in the center of the copper disk. During anti-fouling paint application, tape-off the copper disk. Once the anti-fouling paint has cured, remove the tape. This means that the sensor port is not fully protected and fouling may build up on the copper disk and eventually clog the sensor port. However, the sensor port is surrounded by the antifouling paint and most organisms do not seem to find the copper surface attractive. If it is logistically possible to periodically inspect/clean the pressure sensor, it is highly recommended. This tradeoff situation must be analyzed for individual deployments. Unfortunately, the location of the deployment site usually dictates action in this regard. Page 90
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Removing Biofouling To remove foreign matter and biofouling: 1. Remove soft-bodied marine growth or foreign matter with soapy water. Waterless hand cleaners remove most petroleum-based fouling. Do not use power scrubbers, abrasive cleansers, scouring pads, high-pressure marine cleaning systems or brushes stiffer than hand cleaning brushes on the transducer faces. The urethane coating on the transducer faces could be damaged. If there is heavy fouling or marine growth, the transducer faces may need a thorough cleaning to restore acoustic performance. Barnacles do not usually affect Sentinel V ADCP operation, but TRDI does recommend removal of the barnacles to prevent water leakage through the transducer face. Lime dissolving liquids such as Lime-Away® break down the shell-like parts. Scrubbing with a medium stiffness brush usually removes the soft-bodied parts. Do NOT use a brush stiffer than a hand cleaning brush. Scrubbing, alternated with soaking in Lime-Away®, effectively removes large barnacles. If barnacles have entered more than 1.0 to 1.5 mm (0.06 in.) into the transducer face urethane, the Sentinel V ADCP should be sent to TRDI for repair. If barnacles cannot be removed without damaging the transducer faces, contact TRDI. 2. Thoroughly clean out any biofouling from the Touch sensor. 3. Rinse with fresh water to remove soap or Lime-Away® residue. 4. Dry the transducer faces with low-pressure compressed air or soft lint-free towels. Always dry the Sentinel V ADCP before placing it in the storage case to avoid fungus or mold growth. Do not store the ADCP in wet or damp locations. Figure 54. Biofouling on a Sentinel V ADCP Notice how most organisms did not seem to find the copper surface of the Pressure Sensor attractive. Page 91

Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Chapter 6 TROUBLESHOOTING In this chapter, you will learn: •How to troubleshoot communications problems •How to troubleshoot a built-in test failure •How to troubleshoot a data problem •How to troubleshoot ReadyV problems Page 93
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Troubleshooting Communication Issues If there is a communications issue or no beeps are heard when power is applied: • Open the ADCP to check that the internal end-cap cable(s) and battery connector are connected correctly. • While the end-cap is opened and cables connected, place a finger over the wireless sensor. The LED on the touch sensor board should light. • Check the Sentinel V battery pack voltage is above 11 VDC. • Ensure that the Sentinel V battery housing is clean and dry. • Replace the Sentinel V D-cell battery springs if their integrity is suspect. • For systems using the optional External Battery Case, check the I/O cable female connector and the ADCP male connector for bent pins, dirt, or foreign objects. Verify power is reaching the ADCP on the cable connector (see Cable Wiring Diagrams). Troubleshooting Wireless Issues If there is a communications issue and the beeps are heard when power is applied: • Review the Wireless Connection Common Issues section. • Check if a red X or yellow triangle () appears over the wireless network icon in the status bar, the computer reports there is no wireless connection, or a message appears saying there are no wireless networks available. If any of these conditions apply, click the wireless icon and right-click on the connection and select Connect. • Try to disconnect the ADCP by clicking the wireless icon in the status bar and right-clicking on the connection. Select Disconnect, and then reconnect. • Make sure the ADCP is within the wireless range of the computer (typically within 100 feet). Try moving the ADCP closer to the computer. If there is a wall between the ADCP and the computer, try placing the ADCP and computer in the same room. Click the wireless icon in the status bar and check the signal strength by right-clicking on the connection and selecting Status. Page 94
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 • Make sure there are no other devices interfering with the ADCP, such as microwave ovens, cord-less phones, or other wireless devices. • If the computer uses an external wireless adapter, make sure the adapter is working correctly and is attached and installed properly. • If wireless capability is integrated into the computer, make sure the wireless transmitter is turned on. This might also turn the wireless network receiver on and off. Many laptops have an external switch for turning the transmitter on and off. If you aren't sure how to turn it on, check the information that came with the computer or go to the manufacturer’s website. • Try restarting or refreshing the browser if there is a message that the connection has been lost. If no keys have been pressed for five minutes, the ADCP will disconnect. • If the firmware was just updated, the browser must be closed and set up the wireless network again. • If the ADCP does not appear on the list of wireless networks available to connect to, make sure the ADCP has not timed out. The network is available after power up for two minutes. Placing a finger over the Touch sensor starts the network again for two minutes. Click on the Refresh icon ( ) or use the wireless adapter’s interface to search for connections. Once connected, the network will remain on. • Once connected, if no keys are pressed for five minutes, the ADCP will disconnect. After waiting two more minutes, the ADCP will power down. Use the Touch sensor to restart. • Use the Maintenance panel and save the system log, fault log, and app log. Send the files to TRDI field service. This may aid in TRDI engineers in troubleshooting the instrument. Use a local drive or network drive that is always accessible when exporting and importing *.plan files. ReadyV will “remember” the last drive used and if it is not available, may appear to hang. Troubleshooting a Built-In Test Failure The built-in tests check the major Sentinel V modules and signal paths. If a built-in test fails, use the fol-lowing steps to provide the needed information to the Teledyne RDI Field Service group to help reduce the investigation process (see How to Contact Teledyne RD Instruments). Repeat the failing test several times rotating the ADCP by 90 degrees each time. By doing so, it may be determined that the failure is directional. If other magnetic, acoustic, or high current systems are in the vicinity of the ADCP, if possible, please power down the equipment and or remove the equipment (at least three meters away) during diagnostic testing; re-run the tests. Use the Maintenance page and save a copy of the log files. Page 95
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Troubleshooting Data Problems This section contains the different tasks that should be performed on the site where experiencing data quality issue(s). 1. Provide a copy of the deployment file (*.plan). 2. Provide a description of the environment where the ADCP is deploying; in particular, details on water description (for instance: highly concentrated in sediment waters). Additionally, provide a description of the intended deployment. Please provide details on environment commands, range expected, standard deviation expected, and goal of the mission. 3. Recover the raw data from the instrument and send the complete deployment data together with a description of the issue, and if possible some screenshots or ensemble numbers to locate region(s) showing the unexpected data behavior. As previously mentioned in Troubleshooting a Built-In Test Failure, if other devices are in the vicinity of the ADCP and are suspected to be the origin of the data quality issue, if possible power the device down or remove it from the area (at least three meters) and re-deploy.

June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Using an Ethernet Connection This is meant to be a work-around for applications that require a board-level Ethernet connection with a Sentinel V ADCP, or do not allow wireless or touch sensor operation. Normal maintenance does not require removing the transducer head. Use the following procedures only if directed to do so by TRDI Field Service personnel. Sentinel V ADCPs contain Electro Static Sensitive Devices. Take accepted ESD prevention measures before opening the transducer head. If the transducer assembly is removed, replace both the desiccant and O-ring. Never remove the digital recorder SD Card. The digital recorder is located on the top circuit board. To recover data, the SD card should be left in the ADCP and accessed using ReadyV. Open the Transducer To open the transducer: 1. Follow the directions in Removing the Transducer Head Assembly. Follow all guidelines and warnings about ESD protection and safety. 2. Lay the transducer on a soft pad in a beams-down orientation. 3. Position the housing in a way so that the internal cable (power and I/O) can reach the cable jack on the top board. Make sure to secure the housing so that it doesn’t roll. Connecting to the ADCP To connect to the ADCP via Ethernet: 1. Use an Ethernet cable (CAT 5) to connect to the RJ45 jack on the top board (shown in Figure 55 below). Connect the other end of the cable either directly to a computer or to a router network. Figure 55. Ethernet Connection Figure 56. Power I/O Cable Connection 2. Connect the internal power I/O cable to the jack on the top board (see Figure 56). After power is applied (long beep), there is a 10 to 15 second delay before the network is available (short beep). The LAN is available after power up for two minutes. Page 98
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Step 3 must be completed in two minutes to connect to the ADCP. After two minutes, the ADCP’s LAN will turn off. In the event that the ADCP’s LAN turns off before the connection is complete, simply start from step 2 again. 3. Open a browser on the laptop (Internet Explorer®, FireFox®, Google Chrome®, or other browser). • If you have a direct Ethernet connection to the ADCP (laptop to ADCP) enter the ADCP’s IP address 192.168.0.2 into the address bar or enter http://SVnnnnn.adcp (where nnnnn is the five or six character Sentinel V serial number shown on the product label). • If you are connected to the ADCP through a network, enter SVnnnnn only (do not include the “.adcp” portion). Note that the IP address 192.168.0.2 may not work as IP addresses may be assigned by the network. The address is not case sensitive - enter SVnnnnn or svnnnnn. 4. The ReadyV Home panel opens. It can take up to 30 seconds for the Home panel to display. Ready V functions and features are the same using this method of connection. See Chapter 2 – Using ReadyV. Replacing the Transducer Head Assembly To replace the transducer head: 1. Remove the Ethernet cable. 2. Replace the transducer side O-ring and desiccant. Ensure that the desiccant will not press on the electronics. 3. Follow the directions in Replacing the Transducer Head Assembly. Page 99

Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Chapter 7 RETURNING SYSTEMS TO TRDI FOR SERVICE In this chapter, you will learn: •How to pack and ship the ADCP •How to get a RMA number •Where to send your ADCP for repair Page 101
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual Shipping the ADCP This section explains how to ship the Sentinel V ADCP. Remove all customer-applied coatings or provide certification that the coating is nontoxic if a Sentinel V ADCP is shipped to TRDI for repair or upgrade. This certification must include the name of a contact person who is knowledgeable about the coating, the name, manufacturer of the coating and the appropriate telephone numbers. If the equipment is returned without meeting these conditions, TRDI has instructed our employees not to handle the equipment and to leave it in the original shipping container pending certification. If certification cannot be provided, TRDI will return the equipment or send it to a customer-specified cleaning facility. All costs associated with customer-applied coatings will be at the customer's expense. When shipping the Sentinel V ADCP through a Customs facility, be sure to place the unit so identifying labels are not covered and can be seen easily by the Customs Inspector. Failure to do so could delay transit time. TRDI strongly recommends using the original shipping crate whenever transporting the Sentinel V ADCP. Use the original shipping crate whenever possible. If the original packaging material is unavailable or un-serviceable, additional material is available through TRDI. For repackaging with commercially available materials: 1. Use a strong shipping container made out of wood or plastic. 2. Install a layer of shock-absorbing static-shielding material, 70-mm to 100-mm thick, around all sides of the instrument to firmly cushion and prevent movement inside the container. 3. Seal the shipping container securely. 4. Mark the container FRAGILE to ensure careful handing. 5. In any correspondence, refer to the Sentinel V ADCP by model and serial number. Page 102
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 Returning Systems to the TRDI Factory When shipping the system to TRDI from either inside or outside the United States, the following instruc-tions will help ensure the Sentinel V ADCP arrives with the minimum possible delay. Any deviation from these instructions increases the potential for delay. Step 1 - Request a Return Material Authorization To obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number and shipping instructions for the return of the instrument, do one of the following: • Open the RMA using the web link: http://adcp.com/support/sendADCP.aspx • Contact Customer Service Administration at rdicsadmin@teledyne.com • Call +1 (858) 842-2600 When requesting a RMA number, please give us the following information: • What is being shipped (include the serial number) • When you plan to send the shipment • What issue(s) need to be corrected • Name of the Field Service Engineer that knows about the issue • When you need the instrument returned TRDI’s Customer Service will then respond with the RMA number for the shipment.

Preamble The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software. Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we Page 138
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in Page 139
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it. Page 140
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License. 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. NO WARRANTY Page 141
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details. You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA. Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program Page 142
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 Ty Coon, President of Vice This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License. GNU Lesser General Public License GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2.1, February 1999 Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.] Preamble The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be Page 143
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual introduced by others. Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs. When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library. We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances. For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system. Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run. GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you". A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. Page 144
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) The modified work must itself be a software library. b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful. (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote Page 145
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices. Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library. 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange. If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License. However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.) Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. Page 146
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications. You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things: a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.) b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution. d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place. e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute. 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things: a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work Page 147
June 2013 Sentinel V Operation Manual based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above. b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it. 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License. Page 148
Sentinel V Operation Manual June 2013 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. NO WARRANTY 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public License). To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
