5.9.6 Handles
When lifting or moving the buoy you can use the two handles welded onto the hull top side.
Two handles must be used to carry the load of the whole buoy. The DWR-G buoy is fitted with
a hauling rope between the two handles as a standard.
5.9.7 Flange, serial number and FS direction
Through the flange the interior of the buoy can be accessed. Almost all parts within the hull can
be serviced or even replaced through this flange. A small face on the side of the flange indicates
the Forward Ship (FS) direction. Horizontal accelerometers, compass and pitch-roll sensors of
the DWR-MkIII are referenced to this direction, see subsection 5.4.2. The number engraved on
the face itself indicates the hull serial number.
5.9.8 Drying agent bags, plywood
As mentioned only a few items on the interior will be described here. To protect the electronics
inside the hull from condensing water vapour two bags of drying agent are packed in the hull.
Perforated sealing bags are used to slow down the drying process. The colour of the humidity
indicator should be blue. If the colour has turned pink, the paper bags (without plastic sealing
bag) should be dried at a maximum temperature of 110 ºC for 12 hours. After drying, put the
