3.4.1 Installation
To install the battery box, connect the battery box to the hydrophone with the provided power
cable. Tighten connectors correctly to ensure good contact and sealing. No tools necessary
– finger-tight fastening is adequate.
The HISCAN battery box (HSB10) is intended to be used with a lithium primary
cell. Both the battery box (HSB10) or a primary cell are not intended to be charged.
Both the battery box or the primary cell must never be subjected to any external
power supply - this may lead to explosion or fire and harm to people or places.
In case that the battery is connected reversed, there is no danger to the equipment,
but the hydrophone will not be powered.
Initially the box comes with installed battery. No service or opening of the box is
necessary.
