SBE 16plus V2 RS-232
Section 5: Routine Maintenance
and Calibration
This section reviews:
• corrosion precautions
• connector mating and maintenance
• battery replacement
• O-ring maintenance
• conductivity cell storage and cleaning
• pressure sensor maintenance
• pump maintenance
• AF24173 Anti-Foulant Device replacement
• sensor calibration
The accuracy of the SBE 16plus V2 is sustained by the care and calibration of
the sensors and by establishing proper handling practices.
Corrosion Precautions
Rinse the SBE 16plus V2 with fresh water after use and prior to storage.
For both the plastic and titanium housing, all exposed metal is titanium
(the plastic housing has a titanium end cap). No corrosion precautions are
required, but direct electrical connection of the titanium to dissimilar metal
hardware should be avoided.
Connector Mating and Maintenance
Note:
See Application Note 57: Connector
Care and Cable Installation.
Clean and inspect connectors, cables, and dummy plugs before every
deployment and as part of your yearly equipment maintenance. Inspect
connectors that are unmated for signs of corrosion product around the pins,
and for cuts, nicks or other flaws that may compromise the seal.
When remating:
CAUTION:
Do not use WD-40 or other
petroleum-based lubricants, as they
will damage the connectors.

Lightly lubricate the inside of the dummy plug/cable connector with
silicone grease (DC-4 or equivalent).
Standard Connector - Install the plug/cable connector, aligning the
raised bump on the side of the plug/cable connector with the large pin
(pin 1 - ground) on the 16plusV2. Remove any trapped air by burping or
gently squeezing the plug/connector near the top and moving your fingers
toward the end cap. OR
MCBH Connector – Install the plug/cable connector, aligning the pins.
Place the locking sleeve over the plug/cable connector. Tighten the
locking sleeve finger tight only. Do not overtighten the locking sleeve
and do not use a wrench or pliers.
Verify that a cable or dummy plug is installed for each connector on the
system before deployment.
