Deployment

The RBR smart realtime sensors are robust and reliable, but there are several things to keep in mind when deploying them. Proper deployment will ensure faultless operation and preserve your data.

Precautions

  1. Do not exceed the maximum depth rating.

    All RBR sensors are individually rated to a maximum depth in metres, as indicated on the label. See Fig. 14.

  1. Do not apply physical stress to the housing.

    Stress due to improper mounting may cause the RBR sensors to leak, resulting in the loss of valuable data or permanent damage to the electronics.
    Any type of clamp or bracket which concentrates the stress on the housing is not recommended for use in mooring, mounting, and/or other deployment.
    Contact RBR for proper mooring and mounting clamps suited to your specific application.

  2. Do not attempt to open the sensor.

    All RBR sensors are sealed and cannot be opened by the user. Any attempt to do so will damage the sensor and void all warranty.
