3. There are two configurations which govern how the UV Xchange system operates on logging instruments One setup is to have the instrument activate the UV duty cycle as per the programmed duty cycle selection only when the instrument is logging or in MONITOR mode This is referred to as MODE 2 configuration In this setup the instrument will not cycle the UV system if the instrument remains at prompt This configuration may be thought of as a benchtop mode as it allows an instrument to be powered and functional without UV Xchange operating In this mode instrument settings may be altered and cast data may be downloaded without operating the UV system An instrument may also be deployed in this configuration if the instrument is actively logging or in monitor mode for the duration of the deployment To specify this configuration the command is SET BIOFOULING PWROFF User Manual for AML Oceanographic s UV Xchange When an instrument is ready for deployment in this configuration the typical deployment workflow is 1 The instrument is put into logging or MONITOR mode via command or insertion of red arming plug Refer to the instrument specific manual for details 2 The UV system will begin to cycle This will be indicated by the red indicator ring of the UV Xchange system The alternative configuration is referred to as MODE 1 configuration In this instance the UV system will cycle as per its programmed duty cycle at all tim

If LED modules need alignment remove quartz tube prior to installation of UV Xchange in the instrument endcap If no alignment is necessary then the tube must be installed prior to installing UVsXchange into the instrument See Adding Removing the Quartz Tube Align the connector to the sensor mount Place the connector into the mount Rotate the connector until it drops down into the mount enough to allow the blue locking sleeve threads to engage the mount threads Screw down the blue collar until it stops The bottom of the knurled portion should be within 1 mm of the instrument end cap 10 If LED modules need angular alignment see Angular Alignment of LED Modules Angular Alignment of LED Modules The LED modules can be rotated freely so that LEDs can be aligned to any angle General rules for module alignment are listed below Modules can be rotated freely once the setscrew has been sufficiently loosened on the module of interest and on all those modules at higher stack levels Alignment is best performed with all sensors removed from the endcap and the stem installed in the correct position Module alignment can be performed by eye by pointing the LED at the center of the empty sensor port Because the LED beam pattern is broad greater than 70 when in 8 User Manual for AML Oceanographic s UV Xchange water alignment does not have to be exact See LED Module Emission Pattern and Irradiance later in this m

9. It should be noted that the LEDs will still operate at this time and that the reduction in intensity may be compensated for by increasing the duty cycle of UV Xchange It is recommended that the LED modules be replaced after 5 000 hours of operation Refer to Ordering Codes for ordering information The most straightforward method of determining cumulative on time is to use SeaCast Refer to the SeaCast manual for details It is also possible to determine total on time from the command line using the procedure below After entering TALK mode with the appropriate board refer to the Duty Cycle Selection section or instrument manual enter the following command DISPLAY OPTIONS A typical response is as follows gt display options Instrument Type P T TU DO UV Xchange SN 065535 Firmware 1 06 plus UV beta 5 SampleUnits continuous Samplelnterval 0 DisplayHeader yes StartupMode Prompt DetectionMode a5 RX on TrailingSpace off PressureFormat 42 TemperatureFormat 23 TurbidityFormat 42 14 User Manual for AML Oceanographic s UVeXchange DoxygenFormat 21 StartupRawReal Real PressureUnits dbar TemperatureUnits Celcius TurbidityUnits NTU DoxygenUnits mg L Latitude 45 000 PressureOffset 0 000 UsePressureOffset no AddressMode off AddressByte 09 SerialParity none SerialEcho on CommunicationsDelay 0 NMEAMode off AutoMonitorSeconds 0 Channel 1 SensorName1 P Xchange Slot1 1 BoardSN1 065535 SensorSN1 300310 CalD
