Troubleshooting
Specifications
● Battery must comply with runtime of unit. Two battery packs at minimum
capacity should run the system for the required time (at 25C?). A cold
temperature battery pack could be made available; for example, 8-10 cells.
7.2.2 Central Server:
● The central hardware shall have an operating range of 5°C to 55°C.
● The central hardware shall have adequate cooling to keep internal heat rise
within 5 degrees of ambient.
● The central hardware shall operate on AC voltage with an input range of 84
– 260 volts at 50 to 60 hertz.
● The central hardware shall be capable of operating in a dusty environment
● The central hardware shall be capable of connecting to an industry standard
source controller cable
● Prior to mobilization, the Observer will ensure that the installed CSS
revision is the most recent reliable version available. Unless needed to
replace major system error/defect, the system software should not be
updated during the Survey. In the event of a major recording system
failure, a complete instrument test will be run and operations are not to
resume until tests are approved by the Birddog.
7.2.3 Battery Charger:
● The battery charger shall operate on AC voltage with an input range of 84 –
260 volts at 50 to 60 hertz.
Some power conditioning may be required for use with generators.
● The battery charger shall have an operating range of 5°C to 55°C
● The battery charger module should be capable of running on a standard 20
amp breaker (@120 volts) with the charger fully loaded
7.2.4 Batteries:
● When two batteries are attached the WRU will choose the battery with the
lowest acceptable charge. This battery will be used until it is completely
discharged to a defined value then the WRU will switch ports and flash the
appropriate LEDs to notify the crew which battery is in use and which needs
to be replaced.
● When a second battery is not available, the WRU will discharge the battery
until the regulator can no longer supply proper voltage to the watchdog or
the battery pack protection circuit shuts off the battery at 2.8V
● If a battery is discharged to point the pack protection board shut the
battery off, the battery pack should be charged within two weeks of this
occurrence
