IMPORTANT
Do not use the URAO feature to pre-program the MMP and then, at a later date, connect the
battery and launch the profiler without further operator interaction. When URAO is triggered, it
assumes that the MMP is in the water and that the mooring is fully deployed. Profiling typically
starts less than 3 minutes after the battery is connected.
System Options Tests
The next group of bench test selections are for system options including inductive
telemetry, the transponder, and fluorometer and turbidity sensors.
Option <I> Inductive Telemetry
Selection ? I
The value of FilesNowOpen prior
to the SIMUIM transaction is 0
attempt count is at: 1
The value of FilesNowOpen after
the SIMUIM transaction is 0
Figure G-3 : Inductive Telemetry 8
Option <P> Acoustic Transponder
This option verifies that the transponder is on and functioning (the transponder has an
independent power supply and an off switch; even if this optional system component is installed,
it may have been manually disabled). When this option is selected the firmware commands
transponder pings at three second intervals, displaying a time tag on the screen for each ping.
Three seconds is longer than the minimum cycle time of the transponder.
