D 4 4.3 Disassemble the WRU This section describes the process to disassemble the WRU prior to demobilization. To disassemble the WRU: R00.e 1 Undeploy the equipment as described in “Removing the WRU from the Field” on page 58. 2 Remove the antenna from the unit. 3 Remove the geophone from the unit.

5 5. Maintaining the Equipment In order to comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure requirements, the RT System 2 units must be installed so that a minimum separation distance of 20 cm is maintained between the antenna(s) and the body of all persons at all times during normal operation.
6 6. Troubleshooting and Tips 6.1 Best Practices This section provides some tips on working with the equipment. 6.1.1 24 Ah Batteries t In order to maintain the best possible communication channel, observe the following tips: Place a fully charged 24 Ah battery on the backhaul every day. Keep extra 24 Ah batteries charged up at the staging area. Store 24 Ah batteries at the staging area when not in use. Deep discharging of the batteries can shorten their lifespan considerably. ra f 6.1.
. Troubleshooting and Tips Best Practices 6.1.5 Fiber Optic Cables D ra f t The fiber optic cables have an environmentally-sealed connector. See the following figure for an illustration of how the connectors work: Figure 6–1 Fiber Optic Cable Connector 6.1.6 Antennas When placing or selecting antennas in, consider the following: R00.e RT System 2 v2.0.0 Deployment Guide © 2010-2012 Wireless Seismic, Inc.

6. Troubleshooting and Tips Troubleshooting In areas where there is a steep inclination, smaller gain antennas may provide a better signal. In areas where there is a steep inclination, try to reduce the inclination by going up or down at an angle rather than straight up or down. Use repeaters to cover overpass and steep inclination situations. If you need more signal strength, use an extender with a riser to elevate the antenna.

Troubleshooting and Tips Troubleshooting Table 6–1 Troubleshooting Fluidmesh Radios Problem Solutions Not communicating • • • Try sending a ping command in a CMD window to the IP address of the radio. If you are trying to connect directly with a computer, make sure you have configured a private network (see “Create a Private Network” on page 38).
7 7. Batteries This chapter provides information about the batteries and battery requirements used in the Wireless Seismic, Inc. RT System 2. 7.1 Lithium Ion Batteries This section provides information regarding the characteristics, use, and handling of lithium ion batteries. See the following sections for details: “Specifications” on page 66 ● “Handling and Safety Guidelines” on page 67 ● “Transportation” on page 68 ra f t ● ● “Storage” on page 69 7.1.

7. Batteries Lithium Ion Batteries labeling, containment, and so on. Whenever possible the batteries must be discharged before disposal. Battery leads/contacts should be taped off to prevent accidental shorting. Each battery pack should be placed in a plastic bag. Recycling is encouraged when practical and applicable. The batteries contain recyclable material and are accepted by several battery recycling companies. Refer to one of the following for more information on recycling and disposal: ● http://www.
7. Batteries ra f t Lithium Ion Batteries Figure 7–1 Example Battery Shipping Label Batteries can be air shipped only if all of the following conditions are met: Box used meets the 1.2 m drop test box (“UN” rated box) for packaging Maximum weight of each package does not exceed 10 kg (22 lbs) Battery pack terminals are protected to prevent a short circuit Outer package is labeled with the current required label.
7. Batteries Charging Lithium Ion Batteries Remove the batteries from the WRU for storage The recommended storage temperature for Lithium ion batteries is as follows: From -20°C to +45°C for a maximum period of one month ● From -20°C to +35°C for a maximum of 6 months, after which time the battery packs will need to be recharged to above 50% capacity ● Storing at cooler temperatures slows down self discharge and capacity loss over time.
7. Batteries Charging Lithium Ion Batteries Do not continue recharging the battery if it does not recharge within the specified charging time. A lithium ion battery should NEVER be left unattended while charging. 7.2.2 Battery Charger The lithium ion battery charger is designed to operate from a single 10 A, 120 VAC service line. D ra f t The power supply to charge the battery pack is a 5VDC regulated voltage supply. Figure 7–2 Battery Charger R00.e RT System 2 v2.0.
